lyrics

It seems too long since we once shared a room together
And now I see you listed in some famous science paper
And memories of you now float like water vapour
Though they once were so sublime

We ran through corridors and smelt the dust and learning
And blazed like meteors pulled in by the earth’s yearning
Your eyes were copper blue, my heart was all for turning
But yours was water, crystalline

You unveiled the mysteries of life
And I’d die just to have you here again
You unveiled the mysteries of life
All those insincere and thoughtless things you said

We’d languish afternoons and make weekends of Mondays
And play your copied tapes of Slowdive and the Sundays
You’d change how this world turns with me beside you some day
Or that’s how I thought it would be

We’d share a microscope and count small things to pass time
You’d share your thoughts with me and I’d put them all to rhyme
And droplets of your breath would intermingle with mine
It was liquid entropy

Now you unveil the mysteries of life
And I’d go through death just to have you here again
You unveil the mysteries of life
All those insincere and heartless things you said

Mysteries of life hold me in the lowest place
Keep the boot down on my face
Digging through the dirt of everyday

These white coats remind me of the sycophants around you
And all the things I said I’d do but never got around to
You left to find yourself, how come I never found you?
And how come you never found me

When you unveil the mysteries of life?
And I’d sit through Napalm Death just to have you here again
You unveil the mysteries of life
All those insincere and heartless things you said
You unveil the mysteries of life
