Trapeze Artist

from Sweetness Machines by This Mad Desire

/

about

Written by Mackenzie Kristjon. I was reading a lot of Franz Kafka at the time... things like The Hunger Artist. I thought this could be another of his characters!

lyrics

you make it seem so easy
when you fall from the trapeze!
you make it seem so easy
when you crash down around your knees!
and I know they wouldn’t let you down from there..

you made it seem so easy
when you were up there on the trapeze!
like a leaf fluttering through the trees..
like a wave that rolls upon the seas..
and I know they wouldn’t let you down from there..


and you weren’t there for the applause
