lyrics

Recalcitrant, I am pathetic in the next room
And though I try to speak the air remains unmoved

Our trilobites go dancing up in the pleiades
In parallel positions out antennae

All our lives get smudged together
Whether we like it or now

Big black hole up above
Pistons fire, pigments blush

All our lives in all directions
Running around like we’re god

This is me in the snow
After our engines blow
Watching flies dance above
This collection of dust
Lay your eggs in my cuts
Wipe your eyes then take off
But what if I just stood up
Shake these leave from my guts
Pull the landscape in half
Draw these curtains apart
But I just slip back under the floating grass

These constellations cover the ceiling
I wasn’t watching what you were seeing
I wasn’t watching what you weren’t doing and
I wasn’t watching what you weren’t being

I’ll never come back
I’ll never, it’s true
There’ll be no place to come back to
I promise you I’ll tear you limb from every limb you grew
Don’t worry, it’s true self destruction
I’ll never come back yeah

All our lives get smudged together
Whether we like it or not
