lyrics
Out beyond the breakers and the noise
The body's still coherent
Spread through though it be
Into the web of light that shines between us.
Everything ignites
And ancient fire behind our eyes, it binds us.
But even in the city, girls and boys are constantly suspended,
Only in a soup of human nature tamed and disassembled,
As the fires inside us are externalized and then extended.
I want to live where there's no signal.
Even as it makes us, it destroys.
The gods are all prosthetic,
High on death denial but still corporeal and pathetic,
Animals and angels making love, always allopoeitic.
But even in our detriment we're poised
To grow beyond these fetters,
Luciferic wildness spreading wings in the domesticate
To love the world entire
And as brightly as we were intended.
I want to live where there's no signal.
Gone, gone, I don't recognize you anymore.
So long to everything that's come before.
I know all songs are reborn into a wider score.
But i try to hide my eyes from all that lies in store.
I want to live where there's no signal.
The body's still coherent
Spread through though it be
Into the web of light that shines between us.
Everything ignites
And ancient fire behind our eyes, it binds us.
But even in the city, girls and boys are constantly suspended,
Only in a soup of human nature tamed and disassembled,
As the fires inside us are externalized and then extended.
I want to live where there's no signal.
Even as it makes us, it destroys.
The gods are all prosthetic,
High on death denial but still corporeal and pathetic,
Animals and angels making love, always allopoeitic.
But even in our detriment we're poised
To grow beyond these fetters,
Luciferic wildness spreading wings in the domesticate
To love the world entire
And as brightly as we were intended.
I want to live where there's no signal.
Gone, gone, I don't recognize you anymore.
So long to everything that's come before.
I know all songs are reborn into a wider score.
But i try to hide my eyes from all that lies in store.
I want to live where there's no signal.
