Love Child

from Motion EP by Nomika

/

lyrics

Sorrow comes prefabricated
Burrows through your memories to begin it
Finding fuel it has used
Time and again
Time and again

Sorrow knows your limit
The hollow hull of a dream boat
can buoy the spirit
Can take your mind of it
for a minute

Though you know sorrow and joy intertwine
Still memories chaff and chide
When your cloud’s got no silver line
You’ve got to wait to meet the love child
Hiding with rosy lens the memories
that you swore time would never defuse
Lamented tattoos

Lovers lie,
they’re only, only human
Though we may imbue them
with our ideal ideology
They’re only

Lovers leave
they don’t stay, stay in love
You don’t say
Let them go
You may never justify the heartache
But was it a mistake?

Don’t you know, recollections can be revised
History is fluid
May your malady reconcile
troubles you need to birth the love child
Feed it a constant flow of regret
Trickling into the pool
Tipping in typical fuel

Should have never left the house
Should have never taken that call
Should have never left him and her alone
when it was so damn obvious

Would have never bet the farm
Would have never suffered the fall
Would have never noticed his selfish motives
hidden in the haze of lust

Governed every action made
Left her questioning her own mind
Put her in a corner chained by the thought
that she should not expect too much

Although it took time to see
Infidelity set her free
To release the brake and get into
something great

Would never have known
Would never have seen
Would never have shown
Would never have been
