All of Everything, Erased |
| This is the window where |
| I watched the future start |
| My pupils dilated |
| The shock sped up my arms |
| I shut my ambushed eyes |
| And turned my face towards the heat |
| I felt the city choke |
| I heard the world at war |
| I prayed for providence |
| God said, «Don't pray no more |
| You went and made your mess |
| Now keep your blame off my feet» |
| So I got off my knees |
| I faced the devil’s day |
| The sky was murder red |
| The streets were headstone gray |
| A flaming Ferris wheel |
| Spun where the sun used to be |
| I watched its buckets dip and dance |
| I saw a couple making love lock hands |
| They were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring |
| Ninety million miles from the graveyard growing over everything |
| I saw my lover chased |
| Through fields of sugarcane |
| She clutched her belly close |
| And whispered, «keep us safe» |
| They ground her down to dust |
| No more miracles today |
| So I dreamt myself awake |
| In a resort hotel |
| Above a golden coast |
| Inside my southern belle |
| We heard the sea reborn |
| In each singing shell |
| And every coughing car |
| And every coiled snake |
| And every shrieking star |
| And every burning stake |
| Dissolved to atmosphere |
| All of everything, erased |
| I spread into a distant hum |
| I droned along with everyone |
| And the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be |
| All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory |
| And oh, what a joy |
| To be free |
