lyrics

After an astonishing amount of worn down clocks
I can feel the heart of the earth sinking
Pushed out far beyond my sight
The lights in town waver
Those street lights
Miles beyond what i've ever understood
Are swallowed up
They disappear
Those lights, they flicker like memories of something completely different
Planted by careless hands
They have been withered away with the yearning to grow up
Wanting to model the height of the great pines
We mimic the actions of adults
This clear dry ocean above my head
It floods wildly into the valley of my mind
Searching for the stars in between the black keys
A song modest enough to be precious appears
And sings the song of a future crazy enough to fall in love with me
And my hands will pull back, claiming the sounds i have made are enough
Just for the sake of not being embarrassed
And i wanted this all
Granted

Ahh
The town is silently recalled through our minds while a single foot runs about
Afraid of the lonely night, i ask myself if it is i
Ahh
the light striking my eye through the window, i ask myself if it means to enlighten or blind
Mistaking it for something,i watched another leap out their second floors to chase it
Even though we all pretended that it existed
If we always thought like that, things wouldn't change for eternity
Safty
Without vowing to it, i had already submitted my faith
Washing away any ideas of ice cream or innocence and its faults
If you can find humor in this, i suggest it
But i will flow again
Tilting my head up
At the dark oceans swallowing up any light that leaks in
I am alone
Wishing
Pleasing
Begging
The breath in me howls like a storm through a canyon
In this town, where all light is a myth
To keep my heart
To keep my machine
To keep my death
From breaking
I inbred deep into my dreams

Finally being shined down on, i leaked
The light resting so fragile upon me, i held softly to keep it intact
I gently felt its small heart
Beating violently
My eyes open, and i see my hands choking all that i had sought to find
In a town where the light has vanished
I find myself as the murder
To keep my heart
To keep my machine
To keep my death
I had played only the best parts of the victim and attacker

Ikari
Ikari
Ikari

Finally, at long last, after so long, the world swallows itself once again
The night
Ends

When the sun begins to rise
I am all alone
When the sun comes round
I began to shine
When the sun says hello
The bells began to chime
At night's end
an uninspiring future chases itself again

Śēłf Hærm Boise, Idaho

In mothers womb you were asked, "do you believe in life after delivery"? And you said "nonsense, the womb is all I've know, Mother herself mostly likely does not exist" but you feel her, and sometimes when you listen really hard, you can hear her loving voice, calling down from above you. The umbilical cord supply's you with all that you need. All that you need.
