[00:38.420]When the smoke clears
[00:43.400]What is left?
[00:48.570]Goodbye, goodbye
[01:08.340]You drop a kid in gasoline
[01:10.630]And give him a lit match
[01:13.000]And slap him on the ass when he lights himself aflame
[01:17.200]Like the man who pays his wife two hundred pounds to have sex
[01:22.390]'Cause it's the only way he can come
[01:26.860]Like the girl born a princess too early or too late
[01:32.100]Who waits and waits and knows she'll never be queen
[01:37.870]What's left?
[01:41.320]What's left?
[01:44.600]The senile cat's incessant meow
[01:49.000]The children's favourite canned cow
[01:53.240]The soundtrack of an unkempt house
[01:57.680]The soundtrack of an abandoned spouse
[02:04.010]What's left?
[02:10.650]The whirring cogs of futile despair
[02:14.710]The anguish of answered prayers
[02:18.390]The writhing mass of moaning torment
[02:25.660]What's left?
[02:34.360]You lure a fly to a blazing lamp
[02:38.200]Shut the lid tight and watch it dance about till it dies
[02:42.430]Like Sirin's chimp who, when given a pen
[02:47.390]Draws only the bars of its cage
[02:51.330]Like the gown unworn
[02:54.170]Like the lawn overgrown
[02:56.180]Like the car all rust
[02:57.930]Like the lungs black with tar
[03:00.170]Like the bones black with dust
[03:02.430]Like the heart black with shame
[03:03.880]Like the eyes black with age
[03:05.510]Like the infant spinning in its formaldehyde grave
[03:08.720]Like his mouth still open, crying out to be saved
[03:11.740]What is left?
[03:13.990]What is left?
[03:16.520]What is left?
[03:19.150]What is left?
[04:34.000]I'm hiding from the government
[04:37.350]And my fictional wife
[04:40.260]From my dreams and my memories
[04:42.990]I'm hiding from my life
[04:45.830]I'm hiding from you, I'm hiding from you, I'm hiding from you
[04:55.800]I'm hiding from my mistress
[04:58.160]And her dream sex texts
[05:01.240]I'm hiding from my family
[05:04.300]I'm hiding from the explanation
[05:08.010]Of all I've been doing wrong
[05:11.760]I'm hiding from you, I'm hiding from you, I'm hiding from you
[05:16.870]I'm hiding from your lips
[05:18.650]I'm hiding from your mouth
[05:21.890]I'm hiding from your room
[05:24.360]I'm hiding from doubt
[05:27.060]I'm hiding from living
[05:29.580]I'm hiding from everything
[05:37.650]When did I meet you?
[05:40.150]Maybe three years ago
[05:42.520]So much has happened since
[05:44.290]You were a million fears ago
[05:48.180]So many since have taken your place
[05:53.150]A million more things to keep me awake
[05:57.870]No, I don't sleep anymore
[06:00.370]I just rest my eyes
[06:03.240]I'm running from your lips
[06:04.960]I'm running from your cries
[06:07.850]Your convulsions that crack the crust of the earth
[06:13.310]Your pantomime moans, so forced, so rehearsed
[06:18.570]You're the first I call
[06:20.640]But I hate the sound of your voice
[06:23.980]I hate the words you use
[06:26.340]The phrases you think so choice
[06:29.340]But I'd kiss you a million times if you'd only turn your head
[06:34.100]You'll never turn your head
[06:35.850]Just like me, you're not alive – you're dead, you're dead
[06:40.360]In the German Black Forest
[06:42.770]Of which I know nothing
[06:44.500]I dream you ride a black horse
[06:46.360]Back and forth, back and forth
[06:48.610]With no compass to follow
[06:50.980]Or landmark to reach
[06:53.310]You perambulate aimlessly
[06:56.220]Through nondescript trees
[06:58.530]In the nondescript forest
[07:00.580]Of which I know nothing
[07:02.750]And can't visualise
[07:04.810]Save your faint silhouette
[07:07.420]And I clutch, and it evades
[07:09.640]And I awake from the dream
[07:12.110]No, none of it's real
[07:14.400]I don't sleep – I don't sleep
[07:16.740]I wander through cavernous thoughts and regret
[07:21.140]Through nothingness
[07:22.710]Through sagas that never took place
[07:25.970]Your kiss never given
[07:28.090]And your touch never felt
[07:30.740]Your words never spoken
[07:33.070]Your gift never dealt
[07:35.500]Your lies all around
[07:37.820]Your deceit infinite
[07:40.030]I'm hiding from your never-ending torrent of shit
[07:44.550]Like the spouse happily married
[07:47.440]Who still lies alone
[07:49.610]Like the world-famous actor
[07:52.140]Still completely unknown
[07:54.140]Like the German Black Forest
[07:56.970]Of you I know nothing
[07:59.290]I know not your eyes
[08:00.990]Your skin
[08:01.670]Your stench
[08:02.420]Your sins
[08:03.400]Your arms
[08:04.720]Your hold
[08:05.610]Your heart
[08:06.380]Your folds
[08:07.240]Your nails
[08:08.470]Your grip
[08:09.370]Your grin
[08:10.320]Your tics
[08:11.330]Your sex
[08:12.400]Your shame
[08:14.690]I know only your name
[08:18.730]What's left of the lover who doesn't exist
[08:22.920]Who knows not how many fantasies involve her kiss?
[08:28.070]What's left of the dreamer
[08:29.950]Who dreams and dreams and dreams and dreams and dreams
[08:32.710]But thinks he is isn't dreaming
[08:34.760]Thinks he is free?
[08:37.150]And what of the endless, heedless ennui?
[08:42.170]Will it leave me be?
[08:44.680]No
[08:45.650]When the smoke clears, it remains, your name
[08:51.010]When the smoke clears, it remains, it remains
[08:54.420]When the smoke clears, it reigns, it reigns
[08:58.560]When the smoke clears, it's all I'll have left
