lyrics

Moments passed in blackness
moments passed in blackness

Moments passed in blackness, and I woke up bare
everyone was laughing, sweet in sticky air

We hit the trail, it was time to go
we had to wipe our smiles off

Once we were alone, I guess I lost control

Cars rushed the street, a world that's not my own
no more time to spare
my old friend was living, I almost didn't care

I feel like I'm going to fall apart but my heartbeat's keeping me taut, together - pounding me back into place, pulsing, pushing - I can't keep up. Its rhythm discharges in violent shivers, shaking the sweat from my neck. God! The sky is a bomb, I mean a damn bomb, its bending weight crushing into my head and I'm falling apart, pounding pounding and giving in to the sky

I melt, pressed with scorching images from just seconds prior - a wedged cuneiform of sidewalks and jittering imprints. A flashbulb goes off and off and off and each time another segment of film is dissolved. The reel lurches and sputters, the tape is lapping itself! In a minute or an hour, I will too. That consummate amorphism blooms into a caul 'round my psychology, crushing it for good. My dad was right

My dad was right
I'm gonna die
