lyrics

If I never move again
Take me to where the skyline ends
And leave me with the trees
Should my heart start skipping beats
Believe

It is time to start giving back

I cycled through the tried and trues
But kept coming back to something new
I couldn't shake the deja vu
So I stalled a while and scrapped that too
And I ended back where I began
But with holes punched through my hollow hands

I may have never breathed before

There was something in the air that sat like lead
And it filled my lungs with pure contempt
The taste was equally saccharine
And bitter to my braying lips

What a still and quiet evening
As I watch the sun retreating

If I never move again
Take me to where the skyline ends
And leave me with the trees
Should my heart start skipping beats
Because maybe the greatest prize
Is to one day photosynthesize

So pick a myth or prescription
Fill your head with either one
The pills and the liquids
Or the we shall overcomes
Sleep safe in the suburbs
Sip your filtered water slow
And swallow the story
As the capsule's coating goes

That taste is still on my tongue
As the sound scrapes my aching gums
Heavy hands pressed against my chest
Singing the chorus of our lament

If I never move again
Take me to where the skyline ends
