Movement by Rival Boys Lyrics

Violent thoughts wrestle with a giant loss
A spoiling frost spreads like fire when people talk
A child's home torn down by a ringing phone
A fever with no course to run

No stars aligned, no fire from the sky
Can shine a light on words that reconcile
No heart of stone will wilt under a precious poem
Nothing said makes sense of what is wrong

A speech is made, a child, a grave
A flower laid, a final wave
The gesture lost: in movement overcome

Left with naught, but finding comfort in the thought
That broken hearts are impervious to flying darts
All is known, less love laid bare to its bones
A force no strength of will can overcome

The misery of doubt and blame
Twists happiness all-up with shame
Can beating hearts undo what has been done?
Deliver scorn on golden tongue
