lyrics

Everything makes sense to me
I can count every star in every galaxy
But knowledge is not everything
I need to be a human being

I heard of a place where they make you a skin
Melt my metal body and they'll pour me in
And my heart will start beating
And I'll be just like a human being

This world will surround you
It will love you and astound you

If I fall in love, if I falter
If I promise not to alter
Not one thing, not one thing I
I can always stay heartbroken

I'll stay heartbroken

Delicate hands that work with gemstones
Silver and gold embellish flesh and bones
Dark silos they loom over me
Skies are brighter in my memory

But I'm still searching for some feeling
For some fragile human being
My heart will surround you
It will love you and astound you

If I fall in love, if I falter
If I promise not to alter
Not one thing, not one thing I
I can always stay heartbroken

I'll stay heartbroken
I'll stay heartbroken

I'm still looking for a feeling
Just a fractured human being

So sit beside me
And forget me
I was only here
'Til they made me

I'm still looking for some feelings
Just a fragile human being

If my heart ever finds
The beat that it misses
I'll run to you and cover you with kisses

Everything makes sense to me
I can count every star in every galaxy.

On Ultimate Things
by Kirsty Hawkshaw

This is a great and, strangely, underrated album. The elegant melody of "Leafy Lane" , the repressed rage of "Sci-Clone" the haunting beauty of "Orange". Invest in it now. Chaos a Go-Go
