How Big the Space
Silver star streams splinter down out of my head Cold and vast, I drift alone across our bed You won’t need to bring your car I burned all your clothes Looking up at a star Got pricked by a rose How big the space inside an empty heart How brave the face when orbits pull apart How big the space Dust and debris, broken worlds now ring my head Distant points of fading light, the things you said You won’t need to bring a box I threw out your discs I think that I’ll change the locks Why take the risk? How big the space inside an empty heart How brave the face when orbits pull apart How black the hole where universes fade How vast the bed where both of us once laid How big the space

I live in the flat next door And I can hear you fuck your girlfriend through the wall But the only thing we share Is the slightest nod as we're passing on the stairs But behind the closed doors The bees were buzzing Inciting me to war You're penitent maybe But it's really not your fault you fail to see (We) We who eat the darkness (We) We who eat the darkness I take out the trash at night And on Thursdays I go shopping for supplies I walk my son to school And I seem to have the same problems as you But what you will see Are the threads of what I want you to believe And all that you hold dear Is under threat from someone all too near (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) Well, you lost control And your kids became confused Among the powder kegs With nothing left to lose So now your chickens Are coming home to roost Do you think the fight is real? Do you feel my teeth are snapping at your heels? You who tell me how to live Then you feed me with your poison till I'm sick But pretend that we're not here If you look the other way we disappear We want you to ignore The people who eat darkness from next door (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) (We) We who eat the darkness (The darkness) Well you lost control And your kids became confused Among the powder kegs With nothing left to lose So now your chickens Are coming home to roost To roost
