Fait Accompli :

‘something already done and beyond alteration’

1. Fait Accompli - CAPITAL THEATRE

V1.

Climbing up a ladder to see the Milky Way

I peel off the lid and stare into the space I’ve made

Hollow inside and cold on the out

I can’t help wonder what she’s all about

When all I can muster of a real thing

Is hanging by a thread and killing me

Colonised by a parasite

Ch.

Its growing inside

Got a beating heart

There’s nowhere to hide

From the very start

A fait accompli

Fait accompli

Sleep now and rest your skin on me

V2.

Walking up a corridor to a distant face

I wait at the door in awe of the mess I’ve made

Follow the doctor and take their advice

Until they get it wrong you’ll never think twice

When all I can muster of a real thing

Is hanging by a thread and killing me

I cannot hold a virtue when I’m losing my patients

Ch.

Its growing inside

Got a beating heart

There’s nowhere to hide

From the very start

A fait accompli

Fait accompli

Sleep now and rest your skin on me
