Текст James Vincent McMorrow – Bend Your Knees

What is it that I want?
How long is it that I want it?
Met you first, fifth of August
End of May, 2064

Bend your knees in the forest
Bend your knees when you crawl inside
You believed I was flawless
I believe

That the only
Way it’s ever gonna stop
Is when desperation grows
So I point out
All the places on the map
Where there’s fragrant lemon groves

Don’t forget that
Everything is fake here
Built for face and all for show
Place a shoulder
Deeper in the corner
And the whole thing takes the floor

It’s original
To pray for sudden death
Original
I wear your summer dress

I’m nostalgic for life that
I’m not sure was ever even mine
Did I fix up houses weekends?
Was I a house painter, weekend I
Driving cars out of Egypt
Egyptian car driver animal

By the water
Tower physical
Is the ransom cost of rain

Every autumn
Is a little shorter
Every nape provides a name

It’s prophetic
Semper with the panic
And it absolutely moves
I’m more heinous, pointless and more famous
Than a single family room

It’s original
To pray for sudden death
Original
I wear your summer dress

And though we’re naked
We’re still difficult to find
From a pine and needle tree
As a concept, it’s an empty one
Not a substance of belief

Then as nothing
I reclaim as nothing
Bear the canyon absolutely
It’s lurching how much I’m reminded
There’s a cost of absolution

It’s original
To pray for sudden death
Original
I wear your summer dress
I remember it all
I never could forget
Not reaching up
It’s stapled on my back

Not reaching up
Not reaching up
