about

Inspired by Midnight’s Children, by Salman Rushdie.

lyrics

Mirrors mirroring
Memories I haven’t told
Picking, pickling
Opening I will unfold
Before I crack, before I crack
Whispering whispering
Walls between us in the night
Darkness creeping
Rivals sucking out the light
Please don’t crack, looking Back
Green as grasshoppers
Perfect time lockers
Midnight meeting us
Locked into a curse
Emergency rummaging
Pushing through a broken man
Surging spluttering
Hard for her to understand
Looking back, green and black
Green as grasshoppers
Perfect time lockers
Midnight meeting us
Locked into a curse
