lyrics

There’s a door that won’t open
On the very top of the world
A dislocated function
That needs to be relearned
Sink fast!
Sink fast in the blanket she left you
Pull it up to your chin
Grab hold of the last of your sense
The ceremony is about to begin

You can measure an impact
By the crater it leaves
And the one that she left in the wilds to the west
Must be seen to be believed
Live fast!
Run faster to avoid confrontation
Keep your feet on the ground
We’ve been burning for years now
We’ve been pulling it down

Fly high, fly closer
Between the surface and the apogee
Your skin is on fire
Sense of the choir
You see the state I’m in
