Sneak out, |
|
through our window at night, |
|
telescope and our kite. |
|
The Stars awake and constellate |
|
into a perfect shape of Our Brother carried up to the Moon, |
|
tied to a million balloons. |
|
On the clearest days, |
|
you can see Him wave. |
|
He left a note "You can have My room but beware, |
|
there's monsters under My bed, |
|
and they will tear you to shreds. |
|
So hide the pages that no one's read, |
|
the secret blueprints to My Weather Machine." |
|
|
|
They fell off the Edge of the Earth. |
|
Captain called off the search |
|
and they were doomed to fall forever |
|
or die of thirst or whatever came first. |
|
Victoria, how she spoke with the dead. |
|
Floating dismembered heads |
|
telling tales of their doom. |
|
I think the voices came from Another Room. |
|
|
|
Mother knew Noah flew in his ark |
|
and god will always keep us safe in the dark, |
|
but we don't fear the kings and teachers, |
|
smash The Boat and drown the Creatures. |
|
|
|
All the ancient omens are aligned. |
|
We can start our new lives, |
|
we can love, we can lie. |
|
They have great big machines |
|
that can take photos of your dreams. |
|
We can run or we can stay, |
|
build a wall and keep them all away. |
|
We cannot interfere |
|
when the Moon enters our atmosphere. |
|
We can start our new lives, |
|
we can stop just getting by. |
|
|
|
"I will throw you all back to Shore. |
|
I can gather all of the winds. |
|
I can navigate on the Storm. |
|
I can be the Flood again." |
