lyrics

Buildings made of glass reflect one another

But smashing one pane won’t smash the other

Part of parts of parts of parts of parts of

I wake up in opposition

I watch TV in opposition

But now I know the words

Part of parts of parts of parts of parts of

The habitat of human choice

A dynasty of structures

Coupled in strategy

Part of parts of parts of parts of parts of

All things taken for granted

Were granted, oh

And were taken

To the transcendental overlook, out of reach

But oh my god, they preside over the dynasty

How can I explain just how tightly we’re bound?

Alienated, they insist it’s all the same

Rigged the game, left us to rationalize

Alienated, blinded by all the lights

How can I explain

The ghostly stabilizer that haunts the never-ending now?

A beauty in candor. People who probably never intended to make music, be in a band, or even be cool, are now the greatest asset that we have for good vibes, honesty, & understanding. Favorite Track: The Way that you Do jumesluke
