Two People
(lyrics: Mark Brend)


It was like talking to a vision
Of a younger version
Before gravity and grief
Left their tag on the concrete wall
Of your face
You've grown small

That was me
With my montage elegy
And the swan on the lake
Two people in her wake

On the X-ray of her rib-cage
The found an ice-box
With a combination lock
And in the frozen past
A hollow plaster cast

That was me
With my montage elegy
And the swan on the lake
Two people in her wake
And if I break the mirror
Face the terror
Walk right through it
Put my all into a crack in the wailing wall

That was me
With my montage elegy
And the swan on the lake
Two people in her wake
