Lacuna (Radio Version)

The sun said it's gonna shine on
Down into my window
It's gonna light my room just right
Gonna shine and make the pain go

They go running from the rain
In case it turn to thunder
I, I ripped out the reason
The truth that dragged you under

Speaking in disguises
Your words are ornamental
A vapour trail and then you are gone
And I've got a lesson to learn

There's a lot to be
Said for this morbid self-attention
The problem lies in my external obsession
Animal is hungry been sleeping for far too long
Gonna fill this lacuna somehow

I'm thinking of a man I once knew
I thought I had the hang of
He never learnt that the heart
Is perishable without love

But keep your heart out of it now
Concentrate your vision
I'm lying here like a poppet
Awaiting your incision

I don't wanna hear about it
Your new infatuation
I just wanna leave here wearing a smile
And I've got a lesson to learn

There's a lot to be
Said for this morbid self-attention
The problem lies in my external obsession
Oh baby, don't make no difference, your preference
Come fill this lacuna at least for now

Oh I can think of a good few
Reasons to get fucked up but
You're just looking for an excuse
To call yourself a fuck up

Look at her without the burden
Of what it is that you live for
She'll still be here when your carnival is over
She'll still be here when you are gone
