Wasis Diop Everything (Is Never Quite Enough) lyrics

Moments take so very long, who has time to fear it?
Trust is set on precedent, why should it be I who bleeds?
Giving you a little less, forsaking what I need
Everything is never quite enough

Let machinery fake my face, who has time to chase?
Digital is where it is, love can always be replaced
Welcome to my consciousness, welcome to our race
Everything is never quite enough

Can't see my face, what are you thinking?
Fill in the space, please, oh, let me hear you


Sterilized behind these gates, locked behind the green
Even if I had you here, what we had was never clear
No more words to say to you, no more thoughts appear

Life was taking way too long, who had breath to waste?
Tired of disappointing you, bored with everything I do
Every day there's less of you, me, I've been erased
