verse:
nothing happens to us, maybe life is sick of us
tomorrow feels insecure
and I lie, capitulate and die
the spring will never come again
common jumping molecules will stop jumping
tomorrow feels insecure
and we won’t invoke posterity
chorus:
nobody bothers us (x3)
bridge:
into the silence. wrapped in cymbals
into the universe our body wants to be lost
into the silence. wrapped in cymbals
into the universe our body wants to be lost
chorus:
nobody bothers us
right versus wrong doesn’t matter in this
nobody bothers us
right versus wrong doesn’t matter in this
nobody bothers us
right versus wrong doesn’t matter in this
nobody bothers us
right versus wrong doesn’t matter in this

what would you do
if a fire broke out?
I have stage fright
what’s to apologize about?
in the attics
and inside of the theresianum
beaten hollow in spite of it, and you love to see it
but you can’t
please, won’t you crawl into the solarium
please, won’t you leave us all alone now
please, won’t you crawl into the solarium
please, won’t you leave us all alone now
please, won’t you just lie to him

verse:
soon you’ll have him by the neck
a selfless mercy culling under a red sun
do you never see the end
do you never open the right one
chorus:
you will never see when the light fades
you will never cross onto the right side
your power’s lost to the night
you’re always lost somewhere - anything can happen
verse:
a boat you’re never truly in
you will never help them
why won’t you write home
I swear you’ll never hear the end
I swore you’d never have to
I swear you’ll never hear the end
go leave
go sleep
chorus:
outro:
you will be forgotten soon
you will be forgotten soon
it won’t get any better
you will be forgotten soon

verse:
look at their eyes, everyone
see the road-side fields and
smell the hunter gutting
off to my left side, glowing
see the houses burning
you can see the rats incoming
who wants a ride
everyone we asked said
i can’t steer the rudder
chorus:
i’ll fight them off, i’ll fight them with everything
i’ll incinerate them like bugs, but who’s counting
i’ll fight them off, i’ll fight them with everything
i’ll incinerate them like bugs, and who’s going to know
verse:
look at their eyes, everyone
knows the ice is coming
you can see them huddle
everything that’s literate
hangs inside that tower
you can see the rope cut in
park the ride, park the ride
(I need the answer to the lilac gunfire)
i’m trying to let them cut in
chorus:
i’ll fight them off, i’ll fight them with everything
i’ll incinerate them like bugs, and who’s going to know

chorus:
pull me up over the guard rail, and
pull me up onto the other side
lay me out in the pavilion
you told me the mail came in the other night
verse:
all the machinery
it’s the age of monologues
not a soul to speak to
a crowd of automatons
chorus:
pull me up over the guard rail, and
pull me up onto the other side
lay me out in the pavilion
you told me that I would make it through the night
bridge:
purple sunrise
reflected in a wall of glass
purple sunrise
it’s a long way to the bottom of this overpass
chorus:
pull me up over the guard rail, and
pull me up onto the other side
lay me out in the pavilion
you told me that I would make it through the night
outro:
I am tired of this city
(do what you want to do)

inside out
little victories
where is the house we built
where is it? giveth taketh
inside out
little victories
indebted to a fake (x2)
sifting through to find if there’s something of worth in this
help yourself or someone else will
sifting through to find if there’s something of worth in this
help yourself or someone else will
if it ain’t broke you’re not trying
(sifting through to find if there’s something of worth in this)
no one comes when they’re called
I hoped for a stalemate and all I got was a forfeiture

golden dreams of the afterlife
I can’t believe them all
glowing candles in the night
you can’t ignite them all
there’s no record of our permanence and
we won’t let it go
as we enter firmament
we have no wherewithal
i’m blinded, and buried
you are the lion
you are the lion
we collide in air
I can believe if I want
I’m freezing and drowning
you are the siren
I’m blinded, and buried
you are the lion
to the night, to the other offset
with an imprint of who I think you were
to the night, on the only path
to the centre of the earth

So Kafkaesque

intro:
send him to the outpost
in the darkest white
firing blind into the forest, nobody answered
is there no other option
I’ll take you at your word, and
I will not recant you
you said it’s necessary
what’s the verdict. what’s the damage, and
who handles the papers
back to the drawing board
outro:
you started your engine
but you don’t even leave
you listen to music on the car stereo
it isn’t authentic
but it’s enough to believe
that we’re on an adventure
I’ll wake you when we get there

chorus:
there’s no symbols, only time to kill
a spectral wasteland, to roam at will, and I will
verse:
i wish that you could shout to the heavens
i wish that you were ready for the answer
i wish there was a plan for the ever after
every street is empty
ignore the rain
i called your name but nothing
you watch me like the moon and yet
you walk me up onto the edge and fall
chorus:
there’s no symbols, only time to kill
a spectral wasteland, to roam at will, and I will
it’s a long road but i can’t forget
it’s a long night but i can’t forget
it’s a long road but i can’t forget
why the sun is blackened, yet paracletic
outro:
it’s a long road to the end of night
my prayers are never answered
it’s a long road to the end of night
I saw the body in the embers
it’s a long road to the end of night
my prayers are never answered
it’s a long road to the end of night
I wrote your name into the ground, but I can't remember
