lyrics

(the shape)

i thought that hiding was a wall i had built carefully
and it was a shape cut out of the middle of every room
they could not see the thing but they could see the outline
the way you know a picture has been taken off a wall

the shape of the hole
that is what they were reading
for two years, kindly, without mentioning it

the shape of the hole, of the hole, the shape of the hole
you cannot hide a feeling, only ever the sentence
the shape of the hole, of the hole, the shape of the hole
and the sentence-shaped gap is louder than the sentence

i have been reading rooms my whole life for signs of contempt
and never once considered that i was being read back
and that what they saw was somebody standing very still in a coat.
(build, strings, tension climbing)

the shape of the hole, of the hole, the shape of the hole
you cannot hide a feeling, only ever the sentence
the shape of the hole, of the hole, the shape of the hole
and the sentence-shaped gap is louder than the sentence

(...louder)
