My Invitation Lyrics

You are what they call the human season 
you are all the alphabet in one 
you are every colour of confusion 
you are all the silence I've become 
love me for stupid reasons 
I like those most 
wide-eyed but worth believing 
God knows 

Damn the angry voice that keeps up quiet 
the editor whose work is never done 
keeping pretty words between my teeth and 
sweet confessions 
underneath my tongue 

drowsy contemplation 
do I let you in? 
Well this is my invitation 
but how do I begin? 

She has such an awful lot of soldiers 
quite a lovely army all her own 
night and day they stand before the fortress 
very safe but very all alone
