Artist/Band: Noah And The Whale
Lyrics for Song: Jocasta
Lyrics for Album: Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down [2008]



When the baby's born

Oh let's turn it to the snow

So that ice will surely grow

Over weak and brittle bones

Oh let's leave it to the wolves

So their teeth turn it to food

Oh its flesh keeps them alive

Oh its death helps life survive

Oh the world can be kind in its own way



Oh well your future's a machine

With the mechanics of a dream

And it's your mind that spins the wheel

And your heart that makes you feel

All the guilt for all your sins

Oh and as that wheel spins

Oh well it plays as they believed

And for your husband you have grieved



Oh the world

Still deceives you as it turns

And in my lucid moments I could see

Oh that the heart may be

The weakest part of me



Oh and the moon controls

The movements of the tide

Oh but it has no weight on the movements of my mind



But if you turn your hands to flames

Oh the light will burn the same

Whether you just pass it through

Or if it's what you meant to do

And your sense of culpability

Is from the guides that you perceived

Their constant lie that you believe

Will show you grace

Oh when you turn to a ghost

Oh but now the love you found

Is raising you from muddy ground

And oh the death will let you down

'Cause your curse will still go on the same
