Nobody - Momus

One memory

Is one too much

There in the dark

Where strangers touch

There is no breathing

There are no beating hearts

The tongue of acid

That never spoke

The sleeping partner

Never awoke

I spent my seconds

But time was lost in her

And when we pass remember make no sign

Evidence that you were ever mine

We’re poles apart for all the world to see

When I’m alone I find a crowded place

For crowds always remind me of your face

Stay nobody for no-one else but me

And through convulsions

We never kissed

There were no pulses

In these pink wrists

Intangible

Across an abstract bed

Beyond the limit

Of shape and self

Promise to visit

As someone else

My past is only

One memory I shed

And when we pass remember make no sign

Evidence that you were ever mine

We’re poles apart for all the world to see

When I’m alone I find a crowded place

For crowds always remind me of your face

Stay nobody for no-one else but me

Please change so many times that I’ll forget

I need to hope I haven’t found you yet

Stay nobody for no-one else but me
