The Camera Songtext
von Jazz Emu

Pain is pornography
I feel the lust is watching me
As I′m crying in the back row of your best friend's wedding
Everything is hallowed at your best friend′s wedding
Funny how somebody's end can be an older man's beginning

My mind is a cave I′m mining
I′m at a wake with violence
Looking for ways to close my eyelids

But the camera's running

Picture a seed, it′s growing
Still of a tree in motion
Zoom in on me, hyperfocus
The camera's running


We are a branch, you and me
Singular arm of the bigger tree
And when our branches bleed
They subdivide to find new leaves
We are a branch, you and me
Singular arm of the bigger tree
And when our branches bleed
They subdivide to find new leaves

No way to freeze it
The camera′s running

The levy of freedom
The camera's running

No way to freeze it
The camera′s running

The levy of freedom

So go on baby, grow on baby
I'll be rooting for you baby
From the roots down at our base

Yeah go on baby, grow on baby
All these moments that we're freezing
Are just proof that we′ve been changing

Go on baby, grow on baby
I′ll be rooting for you baby

Go on baby, grow on baby
All these pictures that we frame

Are just the frames that prove the camera's running


The camera′s running
The camera's running
The camera′s running
The camera's running

I am a fake now
Swinging from the furthest twig
I′ve been thinking of falling early
Premature, mummified
But maybe I'll hold on a little longer
At least until the summer
You never know what kind of wasp
Might crawl inside to sweeten things up
