Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry

I like people who’ve seen some darkness

The haunted ones.

I like people who don’t claim to know what love is

The honest ones

Songs can be incredibly prophetic, like subconscious warnings or messages to myself, but I often don’t know what I’m trying to say till years later. Or a prediction comes true and I couldn’t do anything to stop it, so it seems like a kind of useless magic.

You need a big God
big enough to hold your love

You’re the best thing I’ve seen

How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty

You need a big God
big enough to fill you up

Not beautiful enough, too bloody and ragged…

Those with soft voices will have their tongues cut out

you have to satisfy the monster
The monster has loved you for longer
Than anyone else.

the gentle will be mocked, then eaten.
