Telemachus

from Don't, Don't by Monarcadia

/

lyrics

Said she and he were supposed to be
a caduceus, not a crucifix.

Identity is so lonely.
Will I live with it
or abandon it?

I know I'll leave my home.
I know I'm on my own.

(Leave alone.)
Maybe someday I will find you.
Will you never come home?

Did he or she pretend everything,
or was it an accident? Now they're back again.
Did he ever intend to undo what she mended?

How long, how long must we go on?
We can, we can't go on anymore.

(Leave alone.)
Maybe someday I will find you.
Will you never come home?
Won't you ever come home?
Never never come home.

A lover is Narcissus, necessarily.
That's why to love is to be--
I mean, to be lonely.
Oh how I hate to be a vanity
enabling a love
of one with her reflection.
My love, I must go.
Love, I must go
I must go
I must go on.

(Leave alone.)
Maybe someday I will find you.
Will you never come home?
Never never come home.

Will you never come home?
Come home alone.
Home.
