about

11:17pm. 3rd September 2018.


Ravi smiles at a helplessly drunk and broken Shanthi, as she threatens
to sever his manhood.

lyrics

If you could only see the brighter side
If you could only see the brighter side
If you could fall asleep, instead of throwing little
pieces of your heart at me
If you could only see the brighter side

(Drop the act you know you blew your last chance
Don't procrastinate, I'll make it quick and painless)


Oh, sugar plum,
Oh, light of my life
(Won't you) dry your eyes now and dance with me tonight
This shade of Devil doesn't flatter your knees
(So won't you) put that knife down and dance with me
I know I've burned all of your bridges
And I've ruined your life
But I'm all that you've got now
And your running out of time
So take my hand cos' the grown up world is
Calling out... to you


As the dawn slithers to hoist the flag
of this new world of perfect order
Where the illusion of truth outweighs
Kosher in value, and
All we have to do is get in and salute
So darling, oh honeybee
Won't you help me build a more convenient reality?
The role of a lifetime of a perfect wife
And I swear, I swear I'll be a model of fidelity


(Don't shake, it's a common mistake
For the end of the road is sharp and stainless)


Oh, sugar plum
Oh, light of my life
(Won't you) dry your eyes now and dance with
me tonight?
Your fear of judgement will see you well
Acclimatized to this charade
That none of us escapes, 'cos
When you think about it,
The middle of the barrel isn't as bad as the bottom can be
So open your eyes 'cos the grown up world is
Calling out... to you


Think about the kids in Africa
Won't you think about the kids in Africa?
Won't you look me in the eye
and tell me you're not better off
Tell me you're not better.
Tell me you're not better off…
Tell me...
