The Guinevere Contraption

by Ortega Fuerte

/

lyrics

I could never disappear for anyone but you.
I wouldn't have the fortitude to make myself pass through.
You must believe you can; though others cannot understand
what vanishing requires, to do--
It happens all the time when you don't try
You're coming with me as I
Force myself into the blue.

I could never picture what was happening inside
All the blessed geniuses who perfectly provide
Pockets full of rain,
Elegance in explanation
Hideous and brave, besides
I have just one flame that I must hide
And I could show you,
But you'd tell me it was just a lie.

Many people live through torture;
Many people live through pain.
The legend is embossed into your brain
But you can't stand to live this way
You have to make yourself the same
You have to make yourself the same.

Some say Jesus comes to meet them,
Some say we don't know.
Some say there's an analogue
For every place we go-
A parallel in dreams,
A heaven in the seams of living,
glistening between the screams;
Glimpsed between the gears of a machine
And I could show you,
But you'd have to make yourself believe.
