Lyrics The Venetia Fair

The Venetia Fair

(i) We Used To Worship The Moon

I'm losing control here

It's like these thoughts have a mind of their own.

The dam's not gonna hold if I can't

Get a f**kin' grip here.

It's inescapable maybe I'll drown

In the questions or maybe I'll build

The arc above the sea.

In clear defiance of law and science belief stands

unswayed

I'm fairly certain behind the curtain's a provable

divinity

A marriage of faith with the knowledge and atheists

faithlessly question

I need to pull him out for all to see

'Cause I'm sick of looking for God at his home.

(Own what you know)

We used to worship the moon until we

(Pray how you'll pray)

Landed on its face and saw we spoke too soon

(Own what you know)

If he is infinite then

(Pray how you'll pray)

What could he be hiding in if that's so?

Surely ubiquity means he's in every sick,

Disgusting thought we've got in our brains

And I am quite sure the mind knows no bounds

It's got infinite potential

Infinite potential for pain.

So maybe he's holed up in the endless expanses of human

desolation

Their fears and ambitions, their bullshit superstitions

Cracking the code means I've got to crack some skulls.
