Eliot Sumner
The Constant
Escaped, I hide by myself
To take, to form something else, the ghost, a force
A bad school report, a shadow of remorse
An invisible force that is constantly forcing
This is the constant, the constant is calling
You said I'd never had a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
Our love, a love without compare
It's just enough to love something I dare
One breath, I take two hearts, one face
We kiss, we fall the constant silence
Some phantoms are born
You said I'd never had a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I'd never had a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said I'd never had a hold
Caught like two rabbits in a snare
She took cover in his bed
I was broken you repaired my soul
Smoke fills the air
Are we there? Are we there?
Are we there? Are we there?
Are we there? Are we there?
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I spiel to
You said you'd never have a hold on me
The phantom I still see
You said I'd never have a hold on you
The phantom I spiel to
You said I'd never have a hold
This is the constant
The constant is calling
Become this monster
Whose constantly falling
What is this curse
That my heart is installing?
Outside I'm content
Yet inside I'm bawling
Yet inside I'm bawling
