lyrics

You made it through
I was brought here on my own
Against my will
I’m not trying to be your equal
Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no
I’m here to learn
How to weave these tattered remnants
Into tourniquets for bleeding out and bandages for burns
Show me
I can feel everything now and I’m certain of it
You were made of gold and I of brass
Which one is stronger?
Which one will last?
Show me
A fifty foot flag is flapping at half staff
And when the wind stops blowing it will just be dragging the ground
Yes, sounds about right
And we’ll be dodging a color-coated cat of nine tails
Whose ends are poisoned by debris
We never were quite dodging with our feet
Oh, how nice
Are you going to the polls today, my friend?
Well, have your ID ready
Pay your fines and buy a sitter for your baby
And take the bus to where you’re going
Pull that lever, honey
Its echo on the walls: your voice
Reverberating until it doesn’t and then you leave
We could buy expensive lunches after
Talk about things we’ve seen on screens
Now deep red laughter coats your walls
It’s all we have it seems
Advancing worlds weave cosmic dream
An electric time

Helicopters fly overhead. Cars rush by the window. Talkin' Neo-Nothing Blues. Escalators and hammering. A media grape-stomping.
