B.. Alexander - Backwards

There is a place
And I think you've been there
Where the waves lap back out to sea
And what comes down goes back up
A place where life begins in sadness
Do you remember...
Do you remember where...

There is a place
I've kept it secret
Where answers come before the question
And what is made must be undone
A place where love will follow heartbreak
I go there to forget...
I go there to forget everything...

So kiss me...
Kiss me in the rainbow oily water
Electric lips to shock it out of me
Strip the corruption from my eyes
And tell me it's not true, this isn't real
I go there to unravel...
I go there to untangle everything...

There is a place
To go there is to come back regressed
Shrunken, out of time
It helps to watch the rain form
And fall into the sky
Knowing everything is being erased
I go there to come back...
I go there to come back to everything...

So drown me...
Drown me in the rainbow oily water
Burning lips to scold it out of me
Scratch the images from my heart
And tell me it's not truth, this isn't real
I go there to unravel...
I go there to untangle everything...

I go out of joint, dislocate my head
Slip out of time
I go there to forget
I go there to forget everything
But i can never, really forget
I can never get away
And i come back
Back to everything...

Unresolved...

B.. Alexander
