Listen to The Habit I Can’t Quit by Liquid

one fine day we shall remain the night
one fine day we shall remain the night
one fine day we shall remain
one fine day we shall remain
one fine day we shall remain the night

one fine day we shall remain the night

in so many forms
across numberless lives
have tasted your nucleus so many times
ever salubrious
studious
kind
never presumed as exclusively mine
.
for my only wish is to sip ruby wine from the crystal decanters that light up your eyes
trace your smile back to the origins of time
wind back the hands when the clock starts to chime
remind of your prime
reenact your heyday
for the fact is it’s actually far and away the most flavoursome habit to perpetuate
no second rate emotion can ever hope dissuade
.
memories are fleeting for a reason
hang uneven in the gallery of anarchy and treason
seasons pass with kind regards
yet seldom ever do they last
i see all four in passing glance
feel adored by great perchance
to marvel form no circumstance forsworn
to reach into the rose
expose the thorn
.
reach into the rose
expose the thorn
.
reach into the rose
expose the thorn
.
this is how one blood is born
sweetest in the dewy morn
in richest harvest
never shorn
midst rising tides of eidolon
idle hands are not our own
when fingertips are home
private lands dress finer sands
when shorelines stretch in timeless throng
for everlong
the swan song glides
is sped along to break the waves
spread across the lake
it sways
melting ice
embracing flame
.

faithfully famed for its poise and its grace
tastefully framed betwixt land and the skies
not a disgrace be mistakenly claimed
not every star has to die
.
not every star has to die
not every star has to die
not a disgrace be mistakenly claimed
not every star has to die

i see the universe right in your eyes
i see fresh sunrise no longer reclined
trace your smile back to the origins of time
when you were exclusively mine
.
time tends to fly
as do numberless lives
in all of thine forms
i delight
and one fine day we shall remain the night
tastefully framed betwixt land and the skies
not every star has to die
(not every star has to die)
not every star has to die
(not every star has to die)
tastefully framed betwixt land and the skies
not every star has to die
.
in so many forms
across numberless lives
have marvelled your flawless form so many times
ever salubrious
studious
kind
ever evasive of space and of time
.
