Alastair Cairns - Fractures Lyrics

A crooked little vein I traced from your heart to mine
Then from blood until on palm it did remain
A life of love and memories reduced to a crease in skin;
Yours was vast while mine was short and splintered into three
The first for Atlas
The second the pale king
The third the name my father he gave me
I was the son of a physicist or was it Sisyphus?
A fracture in the story I refer to as my life
I took you by the hands I led you through country side;
So we could watch the flock from a great height
I whispered in your ear something you would later recall as queer:
A stage name, a baptism and a prophecy
A holy trinity; something sacred and profane
The lies I built up until they reached obscenity

[Chorus 1]
It's the weight of time going
I held you in my arms and for the first time I knew it is not enough
I break down and I curse my whole life for every moment I could have spent with you

The water broke between you and I and something was birthed forth from which I cannot describe
Disciple you are my first and last; through my alpha and omega you pass
Spread the songs I sang from love, bury the others and allow them to be forgot
I realise now the error in my ways;
The belief that a scene was the man who made it in the first place
Now an eye for an eye so that in blindness we subside
And my shot pierces the heart of Leviathan
[Chorus 1]
It's the weight of time going
I held you in my arms and for the first time I knew it is not enough
I break down and I curse my whole life for every moment I could have spent

[Chorus 2]
The weight of time going
I throw you from my arms and watch you as you disappear from sight
I await my fate:
Death at the hands of those who somehow I inspired hate
