Thanks, Giving

That man's glass shattered
He won't see your face
You've been reborn, darling
Expect a golden age

Your home recordings
Your question's tone
You're moved to rapture in your
Microphone

You're not alone
We're all alone
I do it too

Today I'm feeling new
And it's alright cos I'm not that old

I'm not an agent of change
I'm a prophet of Everything Stay The Same
Please, please, please!

Your television going
Running on the power of fear
We keep the cameras rolling
And there's so much to see
And
Use to
Make
Us
Obedient
But we do it to ourselves

Your declaration of dependence
Was folded into
A swan and then
Put in your Bible to mark just when
You stopped buying that shit at all

You reach for your gun
Just to find
It's a remote
Desert island
Just before the storm

We get where it is warm
And test it for radiation
We don't trust anybody anyway
So what's the use

In keeping quiet
The sinks are sunk and our lips loose

You've got me running straight through you
And wishing I could stop and take you in

Like an intensely gorgeous drink
Just give me time to think
Just give me time to blink

And I've heard the quiet
And the keys in the door
The way that you've been moving
Makes me wish I had something to die for

As it is I need a cause
The bandages and gauze
Have grown into my skin
I'm forever injured and can't remember where I've been.
