Sleeping Twin from Husbands by Pale Fire

We are a fiction, we are amazed at our existence
We stay drunk for thirteen days
A pool for the children
Their ancient skin, their loveless fists, our disappointment

Arms held out for the summer
Ruination on Channel 4
I hope the world is worth waiting for

Sleeping twin, sleeping in, just us to start with
Separation from within, your nails down my face
Our ancient skin, our loveless fists, their disappointment

Second children in the trenches
Firstborn is deciding what to wear
A modern home where i'm not there

Hear the landing creak
See your mother weep
Every living soul
Knows before they speak
Words are weapons to be used upon ourselves
Among the elect
A justified sinner
Pennies for eyes
To help you cross over
All the rest die like joy on a Saturday night

Blacken pages in the morning
Jacket on and out the door
The modern world
Is worth waiting for
