Lyrics

Only lit by cash machine glow
Death defied a little while
The broken glass and plastic
Arranged around you like a shrine
How we orbit absent planets
Stranded in your gravity
Through the nights all wide and silent
Call up say no need to worry
A sharp pain in the jawbone
And a split straight through the crown
The forces of destruction
That have always followed you around
And the sea is filled with monsters
The sky here rings with righteous songs
But our bodies will fill the earth now
Just as well as if we had been wrong
But is it something tall and immortal that you can reach out and touch?
Is it something you want that much?
Is it just the spit of some paranoid choir boy who lives down your hall?
Is it something you want at all?
Wade through wild hemlock
To find a place to curl and sleep
Wake to a world devoured
By white flowering bind and strangleweeds
Abandoning the future
To an imaginary past
For the best part of a century
Could you love me half to death?
