List of Demands

from (Re​)​Percussions by Fugitive Orchestra

/

lyrics

I’ve dealt out: heartache, heartbreak,
And heart-attack on a plate.
And that was all before the breakfast course;
Bon apétit if you dare.

I’ve internalised hurricanes,
That led to stomach-pains,
And gastroenteritis, or chronic laryngitis;
The physiology just scares.

Should I employ Lady Macbeth to wash this blood from my hands?
Should I destroy the evidence, before I’m issued with a list of demands?

If tiredness leads to apathy,
Familiarity leads to contempt,
Then allow me to postulate that love turns to hate on increments.

Sometimes I feel like we’re unravelling at the seams,
As the fabric tears to shreds I sit among the skeletons of our dreams.
And you always had such a way with words,
Always could puncture conversation.
But a radiographer looking at my blackened heart
Couldn’t provide my justification.

Should I employ Dorian Gray to teach me the pleasure of a double-life?
Should I destroy the evidence, that it was me holding the knife?

Should I employ Lady Macbeth to wash this blood from my hands?
Should I destroy the evidence, before I’m issued with a list of demands?
