Kayo Dot The Antique Lyrics

The Antique Lyrics

Dust fills my Mouth with a Timeless Poltergeist Rapping

Lightly upon a
Dusty Door;

It Locks the Days together

Yesterday

This
Artefact wasn't rightly so.

Flanked by Shelves incorporating me into
their Lonely Dream,

I search for Tremors lying Weeping

'Neath the
Broken Tiled Floor

Weeping with a Broken Madness,

Weeping for the
Day Before.

Tarnished Silver in the Cupboard soothes

The Fathoms of
my Aching Silver Beard;

Like Shining Eyes scoured by

A Sour Creaking
Gait,

Cataracts dim the

Eloquence that wore

The Shining Cloak
of younger Pride,

And This was Long,

Long before their Careless
Keeper died.



A Revenant spread its Foul Curse to Every Living
Thing

With Stories trapp'd on Yellowed Pages

By Talismans of
Poignant Lethargy.

Tales Twilit bear their Ruin'd Words

To this
Ghoulish Scenery,

Slouching over Candlelight

Extinguished in
another Century.



The Grandfather Clock once Told its Beads,

While Outside the Branches

Bowed their Windows slightly Out of Key.

And this Downstairs, where a

Forlorn Clock has long since Lost its
Faith,

And a House's Stale Breath sighs like the

Whispers of a
Wraith.



Spiders Decorate an Appearance

That stretches
Gnarled Hands

Back into a Relinquished Parlour Game;

Wisps of
Ghostly Languor hinting faintly of Perique

Ring the Ancyent Air and
Fade,

Murmuring of Things Antique.
