lyrics

Brittle brothers
Licking the cosmic
Cutting the forest
The soil dies

While swooping planets
Dead in the distance
Tell us to worry
And stay inside

The lizards lied
Killed the sisters who survived
And victims were the dignity we couldn't give them though we tried

Through veiny tunnels
And falling buildings
We leave a smokescreen
Of powdered leaves

Forget the lovers
Forget the godheads
The swooping planets
Will do for me

What will it be?
What lets the devil see?
As the swooping planets leave
But I hope to see your faces on the moon

Watch the sunset stoop
And we shouldn't feel used
The clowns are left to choose
The way back home
