Fait Accompli

Climbing up a ladder to see the Milky Way
 I peel off the lid and stare into the space I've made
 Hollow inside and I'm cold on the out
 I can't help wonderin' what she's all about
 When all I can muster of a real thing
 Is hanging by a thread and killing me
 Colonised by a parasite
 This growing inside's got a beating heart
 There's nowhere to hide from the very start
 A fait accompli, fait accompli
 Sleep now and rest your skin on me
 Walking up a corridor to a distant face
 I wait at the door in awe of the mess I've made
 Follow the doctor and take their advice
 Until they get it wrong, you never think twice
 When all I can muster of a real thing
 Is hanging by a thread and killing me
 I cannot hold a virtue when I'm losing my patience
 This growing inside's got a beating heart
 There's nowhere to hide from the very start
 A fait accompli, fait accompli
 Sleep now and rest your skin on me
 This growing inside's got a beating heart
 There's nowhere to hide from the very start
 A fait accompli, fait accompli
 Sleep now and rest your skin on me
