No recovery, each day's a terrible discovery

Every day brings distressing revelations, and there seems to be no hope for recovery from the ongoing problems.

Under the wound they cover me, is this true

You don't have a clue, do you

The cities are stinking, now keep quiet I'm thinking

I'm linking this unthinking ritual to you

No recovery, and all these sins don't bother me

Under the skin another me, which is you

A cry from venus, I know she's above and between us

A mention of Venus, symbolizing beauty, love, and possibly distant hope.


She's been with us, seen with us, dreamed of us too

An affirmation of a shared experience with an ethereal presence, possibly a metaphor for collective consciousness.

No recovery, I wish this earth could mother me
