Lyrics

Ziggurats are built only to crumble
We approach the gods and prepare to tumble down, down
Love's a kind of knowledge, you've written it on your arm
The kind you learn in college, in cafes and beds and bars
And I am studying my youth away
For they will take my island, of that much I'm sure
The tides roll in from Thailand to pilfer my shores
Grain by grain by grain, they drive me insane
Grain by grain by grain, they drive me insane
I still dive under your influence
Crawling cross-country a year and a day
Of St. Louis misery with my tail
Between my legs and my shoulders hunched
With my tail between my legs and my shoulders hunched
There's a shell on the beach for every broken home
And we pick up the pieces from out the sea foam
But our hands are too weak and small to hold them all
Our hands are too weak and small to hold them all
Ziggurats are built only to crumble
We approach the gods and prepare to tumble down, down, down, down
Walking across the grass, I've got a peaceful feeling
I've got a peaceful feeling
How long will this moment last?
When will I hit the ceiling?
Shatter this beautiful feeling
Into all those disregardable pieces
Into all those disregardable pieces
Walking across the grass, I've got a peaceful feeling
I've got a peaceful feeling
Looking forward and through the past
To see without seeing
Into the sea of seething
Time, space, matter
Where nothing's the matter
Where nothing's the matter
I am all alone
You are all alone
Here we are alone
Together tonight
I am all inside
You are all inside
How to get inside
Each other tonight
Hey you water
Crack open my shell
Hey you water
Dive deep for my pearl
I am all inside
You are all inside
How to get inside
Each other tonight
Hey you water
Crack open my shell
Hey you water
Dive deep for my pearl
I am all alone
You are all alone
Here we are alone
Together tonight
