In my rage, I’ve been missing a lot. Being treated as if I’m invisible really has taken a toll on me. Who would’ve ever imagined these things are done to threats to their sneaky power on purpose in the dark? I didn’t imagine this or that Elvis Costello could ever know that I exist. I was just FURIOUS (he locked himself up in a new arrangement that appeared false to me) and I wasn’t sure why I was singling him out for that kind of rage so I looked for other solutions to my perpetual captivity - that I sensed - but could not prove was really in effect.
This project has been yet another attempt to escape this sneaky captivity. Everyone needs to know what has been done to me because it’s not just happening to me. It turns out this person whom I viewed as such a cheater has been a sort of bastion of fidelity. One can’t judge. Time is running out and I’m glad to know death is not the end.
Without Love lyrics
Have I caught my heavenly jewel
Teaching sleep most fair to be?
Now will I teach her that she
When she wakes is too too cruel
Since sweet sleep her eyes hath charmed
The only two darts of love
Now will I with that boy prove
Some play while he is disarmed
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
We find most sweet affection's snare
That sweet but sour despairing care
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
Who can despair, whom hope doth bear?
And who can hope who feels despair?
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
As without breath no pipe doth move
No music kindly without love
See the hand which waking guardeth
Sleeping grants a free resort
Now I will invade the fort
Cowards love with no reward
But O fool think of the danger
Of her just and high disdain
Now I will alas refrain
Love fears nothing else but anger
We love
Yet those lips so sweetly swelling
Do invite a stealing kiss
Now will I but venture this
Who will read must first learn spelling
O sweet kiss—but ah she’s waking
Louring beauty chastens me
Now will I away hence flee
Fool more fool for no more taking
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
We find most sweet affection's snare
That sweet but sour despairing care
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
Who can despair, whom hope doth bear?
And who can hope who feels despair?
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
As without breath no pipe doth move
No music kindly without love
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
We find most sweet affection's snare
That sweet but sour despairing care
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
Who can despair, whom hope doth bear?
And who can hope who feels despair?
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
As without breath no pipe doth move
No music kindly without love
Without love
Without
Without
Without love
Without love
