I bet you'd kill to be able to say
Just what you wanted to say
I bet you blame yourself all of the time,
Wonder why eagles don't pull out your eyes.
Don't apologize.
I saw Stephen last night at the theater,
Trying so hard. Be a good boy.
Be a first-class Irish Catholic,
Child-like and innocent,
Holding on tight like he's high on Ritalin.
I saw Stephen go down in a red light.
Hell is the blood pumping fast inside of him.
Don't give it up to your mother Mary,
and don't give it up to the bloodthirsty motherland.

We are the post-humanity, absorbed in the machine
We've traded our identities for images and dopamine
Through our painted faces and our veiled disguises,
Can you tell me who I am?
In our institutions and our failed religions,
Can you tell me who I am?
We are the post-humanity, absorbed in the machine
We've traded our identities for images and dopamine
In the room, they come and go, choking on the yellow smoke:
Mini Michelangeloes
I can hear the mermaid sing, nautical theophany
I don't think she'll speak to me
We are the post-humanity, absorbed in the machine
We've traded our identities for images and dopamine

Don't want to see anyone, will you leave me alone?
Don't want to go anywhere
I've had my fill of false smiles and noise and voice pollution
I'm gonna spend seven weeks in the bathtub
I don't care
I'm out of reach
I'm out of touch
I orbit some undiscovered system of planets
Sunk in the ocean, porcelain submarine
Maybe I've been lonely too long
I just want to stop pretending
I'm becoming antisocial
I can't get out of my head
I don't care
I'm out of reach
I'm out of touch
I orbit some undiscovered system of planets
Sunk in the ocean, porcelain submarine

Step Over

I let the whitecaps wash over my feet
Watch the sun melt and sink into the sea
Well, I spent all day out on the shoreline again
It's a languorous summer. It's quiet as sin.
I bet that I can swim further than you
And hold my breath longer. I can step over
And into Thalassah, the Red, Pharaoh's Folly
When I set my face to the South, I've decided.
I let the breakers spill over my head
I've waited too long. I'm so far under.
I wish that I would've known this is water.
Take me back up to the surface, again.

Jonah, I know what it feels like
To drown in the baptismal waters.
I empty my lungs in the sea tide.
They tell me to cry to a father I never have known.
I lost the conviction I thought that I had,
And nothing is anchored, it's all up for grabs.

Need to Fall

Wall to wall, I’m full of questions, questions. Break the fall, I’ll learn my lesson, listen I
Need to fall in love with you. Need to fall in love with you.
Intimate, you know my reasons, reasons. Start the fire, I’ll try to feed it.
I need for my heart to start beating. I feel like a human machine. I
Need to fall in love with you. Need to fall in love with you.
Somewhere in the silence I see you. Somewhere in the darkness I hear.
You are everywhere. Oh you are everywhere. I can’t get away. Somewhere in the silence, in the silence.
Somewhere in the silence I see you. Somewhere in the darkness I hear you.
You are everywhere. Oh you are everywhere. I can’t get away. Somewhere in the silence, in the silence.
