lyrics

Ambiance of smoldering fire
Blistering whole shattered
Infinite controlled inside
Stilted house capsized
There’s no above
We’ve been orphaned here
Left to survive in an open field
We’re making this up
Oblivious, immersed in pride
Scripting bad actors
Innocent or undefined
The wretched thought ladder
And we know there’s love
But we’re afraid of them
We’ve seen enough, we’re not interested
Hearts beatin' up
Carps in the mud
We find we’re closer
You smile
Explosions
Always intersubjective
There’s no ego protection
And when the sun sets
Heaven seems like you
Emptiness an attitude
Watching the sparks climb
Faces glow unveiled
Countenance kindred, scared
And when the smoke lifts
Language melts mid-air
Real wolves surround the camp
Both passions are blinding
Dark hollow eclipse
Invented innocence
And the river overflows
It’s been so long
Please wake up
I miss your smile
We’ve been up since half past 5
