lyrics

And what if all these feeble pop songs became for us invocations
And all of our mixtapes a heretic’s litany of curses
You were meant to suffer brokenbroken heart
Life of the party but estranged from your art
Beauty loves a liar and so does your god

A note was never meant to ring in silence
The light and the leaf and your eye strike a chord

Everything’s so metaphorsodden or worse it’s the volatile water welling up from the earth
I’m all for forgetting just let go but when it comes back it’ll be much fucking worse


A note was never meant to ring in silence
The light and your lust and your eye strike a chord

And so I had to go in faith therefore with all my sins in the seat of my soul
(And I could smell the blood and gold)
‘But how many asked to come along?’
Not many asked to come along.
‘The heroes and the broken go with themselves.’
The heroes and the broken go with themselves.

I did it! I found it! I wrote it all down!

So this must be the place then I mean Christ Ben who in god’s name did you think you were kidding?

So stay asleep (stay asleep!)
If you don’t know you won’t have to weep
Stay asleep (oh, stay asleep)
And dream by pretty lullabies whose terms are not so steep

I did it! I found it! I wrote it all down!
