Half Light Songtext
von Orcas

In retreat to the soil & cleansed of pests
It clashed with the oil & rhymed with the rest
It mended the faults & mended the holes
It rallied the cult & invented its role

It′s haunting me in the way things do when they are gone
It's killing me in a way I can′t do on my own

I left the pistol on the sink
Though I have not seen you for an age
I spilled my only vial of ink
& it spread like blood across the page


Tie the loop in your Apollo's knot
& turn your face away from me
I pine for what I haven't got
& wither here in fealty

It′s haunting me in the way things do when they are gone
It′s killing me in a way I can't do on my own

One sees it in half-light, a vision on waking
One seeing it as upright but always rotating

It′s haunting me in the way things do when they are gone
It's killing me in a way I can′t do on my own
It's haunting me in the way things do when they are gone
It′s killing me in a way I can't do on my own
