lyrics

Twig crowns on oblivion.
Like Paul, he was crazy too.
It’s the same, worn Foucauldian metaphors
when talking about how to talk to you.

I got sunburnt by the void.
I’m sending you postcards, I’m outside.
I’m wanting to show you the dark;
I want it to make sense as light.

Same notes since grade school.
Changing strings doesn’t change the song.
They’re teaching harmonies deep in the bunker,
but a new chord doesn’t make it not sound wrong.

I got sunburnt by the void.
This is your postcard, come outside.
How can I show you the dark?
How will it make sense as light?

I can’t mourn you when I’m the one who’s changed.
