I wanted to come by
but we had to stay inside.
We have to stay inside.
We do our best to comply,
but there is so much time.
There is so much time.
I don't wanna do anything anymore.
Another day crawls by.
A never ending line
A never ending line.
Not much to do but hide.
There's poison in the sky.
poison in the sky.
I don't wanna do anything anymore.
until it's down to you and me,
and we will meet in these empty streets.

In Quarantine II

We have washed our hands again.
We are keeping our distance.
We exchange our shouted greetings
to the other side of the fence
"See you in a month" you said
but I'm not so sure.
No one knows anything anymore.
We have put our face masks on
to keep our sickness from the air.
Creep through the city like bandits
stealing the space we used to share.
"Call me when it's over" you said
but I'm not so sure
what over even means anymore
Hey, don't you miss everything?
Like I miss everything
like I miss you.
We have put our brave face on
so the children cannot see
everything that we're afraid of,
every thing that things could be.
"See you on the other side", you said
but I'm not so sure
if I will be the same anymore.
Hey, don't you miss everything?
Like I miss everything
like I miss you
I don't wanna eat, I don't wanna sleep,
I don.t wanna read, oh
I don't wanna watch tv and no one's listening to me
I can't stand to be here anymore
I don't wanna die in here.

Little Light

Everybody's got someone else in 'em, someone else in 'em
and they don't know who
Everybody's got someone else in 'em, someone else in 'em
and they don't know who
Nobody knows who they really are, who they really are
like I know you
I got it
I got it now
Everyone's been hearing whispers in the dark, whispers in the dark
and we don't know why
Everyone's been hearing whispers in the dark, whispers in the dark
and we don't know why
And once we understood what that voice was saying, what that voice was saying
how we prayed that it lied
There are parasites in the sky
Keep your light close.
Keep your little light close.
Keep your sad little light close.

There's a machine that holds it all together,
somewhere out there in the desert,
and one day it will die.
There's a machine that holds it all together,
somewhere out there in some desert,
and one day it will die.
a whoa oo wuh-oh
They say it's been here forever,
powered by fire, powered by coal,
powered by oil, powered by nuclear fusion,
and now, by nothing.
It's been here forever,
powered by hope, powered by prayer,
powered by love,
and now powered by nothing at all.
There was a jolt, a shudder,
a riot of flashing red lights,
and sounds, and now
I can see it slowing down
I swear I see it slowing down
And I wonder how long
until it runs down completely
Yeah, I wonder what it will feel like
as my atoms drift apart
Yeah, I wonder what it will feel like
when each and every one of my atoms drift apart.
Drift apart.
Let's drift apart.

At the Fences
04:11

There's something pushing at the fences
A dull whisper carried by the poison wind
Something scratching at the back door
over and over and over and over again
There's something pushing at the fences
It won't be long before they fall in
There's something pushing at the fences
Over and over and over and over again
America was a psychosis
Left a stain that won't wash out
There's something pushing at the fences
Can't you feel the air in here getting thin?
There's something pushing at the fences
with flashing eyes and a vicious grin
There's something pushing at the fences
It won't be long before they fall in
There's something pushing at the fences
Over and over and over and over again
America was a psychosis
Clap for the bomb, laugh til the end
Always so sure that we were the ones who chose this
We were there when they put up the fence.
I hope we're gone when it comes down.
America was a safe place to hide,
a warm hearth, ringed with wire, but now
there's something pushing at the fences.
Never wanted so much to just close my eyes,
felt so much better when the guns pointed out.
There's something pushing at the fences
I hope we're gone when they come down.

Color in No Space
03:26
|

I sang a deep wood
High up on a strange mountain top
Cut by cold lines of rushing streams
Bathed in the light of a better sun
And you were the only one to see it
Slipping out from in between the waves
A sight for only sensitives and synesthetes
A deeper blue, a richer green, a darker gray
Behind this paper-thin facade
Maybe there's a bright and verdant place
Maybe there's a light seen by no eye
Maybe there are colors in no space.
I've got this feeling that won't ever go away
Surrounded on all sides by color in no space.
