lyrics

The ongoing search continues
(If you're just now tuning in)
For something obvious and vital, oh
But the connection is lost again

The words float oversea
Currents start to drift subconsciously
It brings down the rain
From far away it sounds
The call of the void, o can you hear me call out from a
Sea of sparkling indie darlings
I can't explain, nothing remains at all

Better not to spend all my time pre-empting
I swear I've got more important things!
But what I can't control looms heavy
And my perspective's foreshortening
If you're still wondering why you're so empty inside
Why no tide'll make the darkling subside
The smoke from the fire you can see for miles
Just like ships in the distant horizon

'Cause the glitch is heuristic
The motion violent
We're looking at one ugly allegory
Just tell yourself, it doesn't matter
It makes you strong to accept what you can't believe

'Cause what if it's never enough?
When we've said all the stuff
And our number is up
I can't handle it at all

You finally find a face
In spite of everything
And all the while you'll cling to
The silver lining of sleeping alone

The gods of intricate auspice tolerate less than you'd suppose
Just stick with what you know
Apart from intimate losses, even odds keep us on our toes
It's all a part of the show
Just act like you're in on the joke
When they hand you a length of rope
Enough to thread the needle or choke
So take a sip from the poison cup
It's to important to rely on luck
When too much is just enough
And you can't leave that bell unrung

Focus your eyes
Look to the interminable light
And play the biggest fucking chess move of all time
