lyrics

Panic festers when the motion’s speeding up
It’s been a real tough effort
Short on expertise, they’re running out of energy
Not the defiant ones I’ll be

The world is doped with surprises
Every lid, every can
A perspective so welcome
Look, I tend to be easily enticed
By someone else’s diagram
Every time I wake up
Staring into space-time

When the clouds show up to surround
Hiding the towers’ tops
Swinging head to head around the rounded planet
When the frost has fallen
And there’s little left to see
I could ride a monumental crow across the sky
I am a supernova, bursting out
And spreading germ for newness

May I borrow a browkiss invitation
Full of interventions?
Night and day, to behold what you say
Incorporating you ‘til our organs fuse

Enlivening the very peace
The very pieces of the skies
And making it tremble with light
It’s lively, it’s fortunate
It’s wonderful, it’s happiness.
You’re my luck-friend
You’re my blind shot into the air

When the clouds show up to surround
Hiding the towers’ tops
Swinging head to head around the rounded planet
When the frost has fallen
And there’s little left to see
I could ride a monumental crow across the sky
I am a supernova, bursting out

The medallion’s got your name
And you know who really cares
You’ve got so far
Now the choice is in your hands
And the doors will collapse
Rendering your recklessness

When the clouds show up to surround
Hiding the towers’ tops
When the frost has fallen
And there’s little left to see
I could ride a monumental crow across the sky
I am a supernova, bursting out and shining bright
Bursting out and spreading germ for newness
