Minor Pieces - Rothko Lyrics

Take it in
In a real way
Lift a love song up
For its urgency
And let stand that song
Where we lingered on
Where it always hid
Where we love with no opposite
Where we love with no opposite

Seek the sight
Let it stare right back
Feel the glowing where
They overlap
But I apologised
You apologised
And nothing changed one bit
Couldn't love with no opposite
Couldn't love with no opposite
Because we took this child
And we drove it wild
With prediction

Don't mistake the words for the poetry
Take this sentence off there's silence underneath
Something into which anything could pour
The unoccupied metaphor
For the brand new words that have yet to mean
Against this crisis of linearity
For the folded moments that are in between
All the colours of surrendering

The night Rothko died
And a bomb so bright
Should have turned our eyes
To a light growing dim
Where we love with no opposite
