Lesson learned, lessen me
A gangly kid, 23
No stone left unturned, oh revel in me
Today, I became even less than you could ever conceive

(Pluck my nerves as you would your harp)
Pluck my nerves as you would your harp
(L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas)
L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas
(Pluck my nerves as you would your harp)
Pluck my nerves as you would your harp
(L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas)
Sitting ducks it's a tasteless lark
(Pluck my nerves as you would your harp)
L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas

You're left alone and you see the remains
They've just left, you can still catch'em if you're fast
But it creeps in, the familiar thought
Commune with the silence, leave but a nod
And the dimensions of unresolved potential might not
Be all that pleasant to see
But, gravediggers too must earn their keep

(Pluck my nerves as you would your harp)
Pluck my nerves as you would your harp
(L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas)
L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas
(Pluck my nerves as you would your harp)
Pluck my nerves as you would your harp
(L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas)
L'art est souffrance et les vides ne souffrent pas
(Pluck my nerves as you would your harp)
