All the Pain in All the Wide World - Kayo Dot

Dim light in the bar

Makes one look younger

Neon lies

We sit we drink we pretend

We’re something that we’re not

Jumble human bones with

Water running over them

Unknown

Trickle under grate outside

Almost sounding lovely

All the pain in

All the wide world

Couldn’t fill even a fraction

Of the South Pole-Aitken basin

But it all fits in shadow pocket

Like a knife before it

Sticks in neck

Potential under icy moon

Scream then silence in the gloom

Scream then silence splattered room

That was then, this was soon

But you’re too busy talking

And I wasn’t even listening

Hand in shadow pocket

Pulse is quickening
