THE SPOTLESS PANE lyrics : "Dive"
It's hard to watch a man immortalize his disease
to keep a burdensome admission of mortality
From robbing eternal innocence of eternity
"your perversion of compassion fools no one, so please just leave..."
It's hard to watch a man immortalize his disease
(Where the ocean opens up)
wagging fingers at his arm while it blackens in atrophy
(and the lost sink in regret)
"Angels don't need your help to live life as angels will"
(If no one takes the dive)
"So please go sanctify the sinner's plight somewhere else"
(say good bye, say good bye...)
::and in the background::
Stub the toe to reprimand the foot that you despise
And in your triumph, feel the eyes you love begin to cry
What a catch 22
How can we see this through?
Where to kiss the wounds of filthy men will spread disease
But to turn our backs will justify their apathy
I know you...I've seen you in my sleep
You were the one at whom the multitudes would throw their stones
Thinking their intolerance would help to stunt your growth
But now we see you grinning with the lips of your new host
Dive!
Dive!
