Even So, It’s Not Enough

Hand. Cannot. Erase. (track 03 from the eponymous LP by Steven Wilson )

Together we have this love
Even so, it’s not enough
Bruised and burned, we won’t lose heart just because life gets hard

Writing lying emails to our friends back home
Feeling guilty if we sometimes want to be alone

Hand cannot erase this love

A love like this makes us strong
We laugh it off if things go wrong
It’s not you, forgive me if I find I need more space
Because trust means we don’t have to be together everyday

Hand cannot erase this love

In Your Eyes is a Place Worth Remembering

Love is Not Enough (track 05 from the With Teeth LP by Nine Inch Nails )

The more that we take, the paler we get
I can’t remember what it is that we try to forget
The tile on the floor is so cold it can sting
In your eyes is a place worth remembering
For you to go and take this and smash it apart
I’ve gone all this way to wind up back at the start

The closer we think we are
It only got us so far
Have you got anything left to show?
No, I didn’t think so

The sooner we realize that we cover ourselves with lies
Underneath we’re not so tough
Love is not enough

It hides in the dark like the withering vein
We didn’t give it a mouth so it cannot complain
We never really had a chance
We never really make it through
And to think I believed I could get better with you

The closer we think we are
It never got us so far
Have you got anything left to show?
No, I didn’t think so

The sooner we realize that we cover ourselves with lies
Underneath we’re not so tough
Love is not enough

Dust Down Your Wings Again

Drive Home (track 02 from The Raven that Refused to Sing (and Other Stories) LP by Steven Wilson )

Cold windowpane—a car upturned in the rain
Wait on in vain—don’t try to bear the blame
Deal with the pain—dust down your wings again

You need to clear away all the jetsam in your brain and face the truth
Love can make amends while the darkness always ends
You’re still alone so drive home

Pause without end—a moment in time suspends
How could she leave?—release all your guilt and breathe
Give up your pain—hold up your head again

You need to clear away all the jetsam in your brain and face the truth
Love can make amends while the darkness always ends
You’re still alone so drive home
