Hugo Grayling - I Can't Recall Lyrics

I can't recall
When the clouds slid apart for you
What success made you hate your heart
The bloody emperor allergic to you
And your punishment is having it all
But I can't recall

I can't recall
When your dance became a passion play
When the prisoners within your walls
Began to tremble when you came their way
You took their torture as a clarion call
But I can't recall

The same sea is crying out the window
One day, you'll need to feel the water on you
You'll walk right down into the water
The violence in your room predicts the water coming
The violence in your video

I can't recall
When the buying and the selling began
When the cost of a ticking bomb
Became a recipe for mellified man
And now there's nothing to create or dissolve
But I can't recall

You learned the lives of the saints when you were younger
That sea keeps calling through the window to you
Go drown that candle in the water
Go drown that candle in the water, now
Drown that terrible candle, now

I can't recall
When the beast begat a newborn king
When you followed a hole in the wall
Until you thought you heard the angels sing
And now there's no-one left to lecture us all
But I can't recall
