Song of the Moment: "Everything (Is Never Quite Enough)" - Wasis Diop

Moments take so very long: who has time to feel?
Trust to set no precedent; why should it be I who bleeds?
Giving you a little less is taking what I need.
Everything is never quite enough.

Let machinery fake my face: who has time to chase?
Digital is where it is; love can always be replaced.
Welcome to my consciousness - welcome to our race.
Everything is never quite enough.

Can't see my face: what are you thinking?
Fill in the space, please - oh let me hear you.­

Sterilize behind these gates, locked behind the green.
Even if I had you here - what we had was never clear;
No more words to say to you; no more thoughts appear.

Love was taking way too long: who had breath to waste?
Tired of disappointing you; bored with everything I do.
Every day there's less of you; me, I've been erased.
...

Ah, one of my ultimate do-it songs...
