It moves in vast bursts

Sweeping across the surface

Brushing aside the memories

I lied down to rest

I lied down to rest

I rose to fight a war

I ripped apart the trees and the bark

Ripped apart the world

My own consolation rests

Bend the fence

Burn the wall

Break the boundaries

This is all I asked for

I turn the dial twice over

And once more again

Light flickers like fireflies

Like firefights

Like the wars we held high and fast

Vast over the field

Walk between the rows

The cold pews where your fury grows

Facetious, fastidious, fasting for future development

Rush it right

Turning left

Living like it’s all something

To some girl

To save your flesh

To tell your tales and take them down

I lied down to rest

I lied down to rest

I lied down to lie to the world

I lied down to tell a tale

To sell a pale moon to a star eyed fool

One minute to move

One minute to make it mean more

The breezes blowing in and over

The holes I left in the flat earth

The holes I left in the hollow ground

The holes I left in your head

Speak it so it can roll down

Ride on in between

The blades holding high in the wind

Bending at the waist

Speak it

So I can hear it

So I can hold it

High above the world
