lyrics

He lived somehow with lowered eyes
With the machines inside the machines
I went outside to try to find a rock to climb
Like I used to all the time

The days are numbered

What’s the point of picking up spiders from the snow?
What’s your secret? Knowing what’s impossible to know?

The honeybee stung you on your tongue
The moon just hung there like a lung

Cut the signal
Short circuit
This place is dangerous
Machetes out
Pretending to survive

The fall might catch you

I see the yellow ribbon on the water in the night
Still and sad. A terrible shape that drifted by
