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
