Lyrics - The Error That Stays

Lyrics - The Error That Stays

Verse 1

The loop left and came back The loop left and came back The pink stays in the corridor And the corridor doesn't change

Chorus

The error that stays The crack that doesn't close The word that came back wrong And stayed where it was placed

Verse 2

Thee - then you - then thee The dead word in the living mouth The cup has a chip where the thumb goes The chip is the shape of the grip

Chorus

The error that stays The crack that doesn't close The word that came back wrong And stayed where it was placed

Bridge

The grid stops. The loop leaves. Three seconds. The silence goes with it. The loop comes back. Not the same loop. The silence is in it now. The silence came back with it. The loop is carrying the silence like a body carries a limp. The limp stays.

Chorus

The error that stays The crack that doesn't close The word that came back wrong And stayed where it was placed

Outro

What am I if the word I speak is not the word I chose What am I if the error is my mouth

Outro

(spoken, barely audible) The loop left and came back The loop left and came back Stays Stays
