lyrics

As we blunder through the wonder of the ruins of the futures
The rivers undulate along
Where the hammer & the axe befall a chainsaw & a hack
Just be careful who you choose to run among

The dear taste of fear when we know our predators are near
The desolation of a panoramic set
When the hour gets so dark that you can hardly see your breath
Reminiscing nothing but regret

But come on
The rocks fall
Come on
As the snow thaws

There's disappointment in the air seeing what's fair is fair is fair
We're besieged by desperate throngs of hope
If the neighbors keep on ringing I think I'll throw in my last fist
& blame it on the humours that have eloped

Colliding with our tidings into re-reflected sightings
So intent to proclaim everything is show
The evening wind harnesses sorrow & vague notions of tomorrow
The world erodes & blows out into the night

But come on
The rocks the fall
Come on
Cascading down the hill
& we are gone

On the first night I fell in love
On the second I woke on the floor
There were bright lights surrounding me
Electrocutions run my spinal cord

Somnambulistic relics, temples so embellished
The detritus of our monumental squall
Traipsing through the daisies paints the clouds a gripping scene
A pall still lingers...

Ancient waves rolling in rippling marrow, set in bone
Wrinkled lips & sneers of cold command
Our foresight is held captive by a spiral shaped adaption
A maze the wind keeps changing like the sand

But come on
The mud slides down the hill
& we are gone

On the first night I fell in love
On the second I woke on the floor
There were bright lights surrounding me
Electrocutions run my spinal cord
On a tool belt they made of glass
The souls of former mischief scored
