time again - naevus lyrics

[verse 1]
by day it turns upon a hatpin
and by night it saps your right
to force a word in edgeways or
reveal what once could have been right
by noon you have been grappling
with the hours that stain your days
by evening you are charging
at the carpet of your grave
you do not gamble
but you gambled and you lost
the right to say a word in anger
to reciprocate the loss

[chorus]
for the safety of your fledgling face
for avoidance of disgrace
for lessons learned and patience unearned
you will find it’s time

[verse 2]
the leaves did not land
at the grand gates of your lean*to
but fluttered off instead
to decorate your ruler’s head
the birds vociferously
shout back at you all the words
that you have said in anger
while below the worms crawl back to bed
[chorus]
for the safety of your fledgling face
for avoidance of disgrace
for lessons learned and patience unearned
you will find it’s time
it’s time again

[verse 3]
the dogs, they dance across the sunset
mice, they form committees
that will offer up their judgements
in the face of all that you have read
and when the dust has been accumulated
and when all is done and said
you turn toward the door
that’s never yours instead

[chorus]
for the safety of your fledgling face
for avoidance of disgrace
for lessons learned and patience unearned
you will find it’s time
you will find it’s time
you will find it’s time
it’s time again
