lyrics

They say to get there
You must repent
Accept the lord
Reject the serpent
But my girl wasted nothing
With the time that she spent
She came to life
As perfect as she left when she went

Surely once you get your hands dirty,
The conscience will get bent
And even if you play it clean,
Nobody escapes without a dent

She said you don’t live here,
You’re just paying rent
The body you choose
Is yours to lose
So use this spark
when you want to
fly in the dark
my Love is the ocean
as you float on the arc

Neon statues
Religious crapshoots
Golden era
Of plastic refuse
Spirit animals
Are endangered species

We inherited
a clay model replica of heaven
And all our days are numbered
one through seven
We were given 10 chances
Now we’re asking for 11

Makeshift virtues,
Petty theft clues,
Covered up by
Blankets of tissues
The news of today
Was made a million years ago

Coming distractions
Numbing attractions
Splitting the spitting image of god
Into factions
The child of man
Is our mother now

This is the dawning
Of the age of oblivious
