Landslide

Nothing to explain
Whenever you’re around me
The silence’s still astounding
Unshadowed by distress or overcasting anger
We’re lucky if the landslide hit’s us hard on time;
Our rose-lipped youth is passing by
So easy that it’s hard
Walking on a faultline, spending all the dreamtime
Waiting for the landslide to hit home
So those self-seeking satellites stop spinning 'round
And are forced to choose a different course
Who would wanna know?
If you’re not gonna show
How the crazy gift of time takes it’s toll
Impress me and say that you will put it straight
Wipe off the residue and clean the slate
Go get a grip before it’s all too late
All and everythings at stake
Too proud to let you know (nothing to explain)
I tried to prove you wrong (no need to complain)
But there’s a consolation:
The gravity’s increasing (nothing to explain whenever you’re around me)
Since you’ve been around
The self-seeking satellites stopped spinning 'round
Can’t find no joke to fend you off
Who would wanna know?
If you’re not gonna show
How the crazy gift of time takes it’s toll
Impress me and say that you will put it straight
Wipe off the residue and clean the slate
Go get a grip before it’s all too late
All and everythings at stake:
More than anyone can take!
