Lyrics:

What of me?
Choose to be
Going so peacefully

Blue and green
Prettily
But in this higher dream

I am the lucky one
Out of sight, out of mind

God I love
What you see
It does not frighten me

Sprawling space
The in-between
Removes my feeling

Hours beat upon my body
Cast naked in a hailstorm
The landscape is hysterical
The thunder rolls are graceful

In all of these distractions
Not addled by attention
Not fearful but astonished
Go tell the world, tell the world

I am the lucky one
Out of sight, out of mind

Out of Sight

Dismount

One day, they'll paint our faces
And they'll stretch our skin
Until we finally give in
For they are nasty, brutish and tall
And they will kill everything
They'll gobble us all

Resolve to hide when they speak
All of their teachings drown in our moments of peace
What you knew we, too, will forget
But may we never grow up enough to regret
See that you don't let your digital mistakes haunt you

Most men lead lives
Of little deaths and quiet desperation
And most men lead lives
Of little deaths and suffering

One day, we must get older	
And beg to be loved
Until we keel over
But what is this heart if not a spring?
And what are these tendons, if they are not strings?

Adult, am I not the future?
Are we not the present, the soon-to-be past?
Oh you'll die cold, if you can't perceive
That I am sooner a swarm of bees
Than a sole, static 'me'

Lyrics:

swinging from the hoops as the floor light flickers
intimidating young men cold and bitter
said you better impress, if you're wanting the best
flicking through the photos of yesterdays press

sticking on the walls like a mass epidemic
if it's making me move, i don't care about who said it
running rings around the class like a balancing act
i saw them cower a division just to let you past

rocking up in smoke and livello suits
we love to live off dares, not the boring truth
yeah our patience is ripe, we're as sharp as a knife
there's a love we have in life under flashing lights

i said you're making me look like a fool
drowning in your revenue
sitting and waiting and loving and hating

killing off a brand just for a little dare
keeping fucking tabs now you thought you saw her stare
i said you're moving me back, no i can't be having that
if we're not moving forward, then we've gotta cut the slack

jumping over railroads in the pouring rain
running for the bus stop just to catch the game
ah yeah you'll see us tonight, giving strangers a fright
fresh off production lines all backwards and blind

looking through a mirrored lie
waiting for time to go by

―――
All through the winter we’ve held the past like a bible to keep us in place
But I’m not religious and we like adventure so forget all those laws we embraced

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s easy to live by the clock on the wall cause you do what you’ve done before
But soon you end up in a cycle of learning the things that you already know

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s not that I want to deny the patterns that helped us to stay in bloom
It’s just that it feels like we’re falling asleep when we should be uncovering the moon

It is time to step off the carousel
