Hapax Legomenon

from Descent EP by The Mercury Tree

/

lyrics

I’m a hapax legomenon.
what are you staring at?
I’m a one time phenomenon.
why are you denying that?
I’m a noted philanthropist
with nothing to give.
but compared to my other days
this is downright positive.

coming round only once, never to be seen again.
and when I have left the scene, you’ll soon forget where I’ve been.

in an alternate universe
would I still feel this way?
or would I have the wherewithal
to plunge through another day
cause in these awkward circumstances
abnormal and otherwise
only small bits of strength appear
to help me mobilize

coming round only once, never to be seen again.
and when I have left the scene, you’ll soon forget where I’ve been.
