lyrics

I could make this an elsewhere
And close my eyes
You don't need to love me
Just to get by

Might not be the real thing
But it's no lie
Opiate of the masses
I won't be left behind

When the vector curves westward
Scraping me clean
Will it take a whole lifetime
To return you to me

I can never tell
If I repeat what I repel
Become the heart of darkness to quell
The darkness just to start it all again

You'd think it's all history
It's not even past
You don't have to love me
For the ghost to last

I can never tell
If I repeat what I repel
Become the heart of darkness to quell
The darkness just to start it all again

When the light comes through the window
And ricochets
Off of your shoulder blades
And constellates

A new map of the cosmos
A new world at risk
Too near to be a fantasy
Too far to exist
