lirik lagu the narcissist cookbook - story six
the choir of one
once upon a time
there was a choirmaster
who lived in a quiet house
the last house at the end
of a busy street
all her neighbours knew her
and loved her
they were her voice
her lips
her tongue
her t~~th
pipes on an organ that stretched
high up into the clerestory
and they sang proudly and beautifully
the songs that she had composed for them
each one made up of a thousand
haunting melodies
corkscr~w~ng over and around
and through each other
complex and perfect
like a murmuration
and the people on the street were happy
because they knew who they were
and the choirmaster in her quiet house
was happy because she knew who she was
and everything was in its right place
and it really felt
like everything might stay that way forever
until one day
the choirmaster awoke
to find the street silent
and all the houses empty
the families had fled in the night
and she beat her many fists
against the roof of the world until they bled
and she screamed
from the pits of her many stomachs
until they emptied
and she wept
from the corners of her many eyes
and where the blood
and bile
and tears fell
there grew
a forest
with th~rns like kitchen knives
and rusted metal
too thick and clawing to pass through
and the choirmaster cursed the gods
old and new
and everything was wrong
and it really felt
like it might stay that way forever
until
one day
outside the choirmaster’s quiet house
~ quiet as a stagnant sea ~
a stranger arrived
just one
alone
and the choirmaster, sick with yearning
beguiled the stranger to sing
song
after song
after song
an eon’s worth, all at once
and all the part’s as well
corkscr~w~ng through his tongue
and his t~~th
and his lips
and the stranger was happy
because he knew who he was
and the choirmaster was happy
because she knew who she was
everything
everything is in its right place
and it really feels
like it might stay this way forever
