lyrics

We stirred up an existence
He who listens hears you sing in the skies
We erected our prisons
Shared our visions with a light in our eyes
That would soon be a tiny heartbeat
You would come to resent more than me
But if I've ever seen your ugliest
It's when you ceased to be

In trying for a collection of perfection
Birthed the first of our lies
You arrested the opinions of your minions
With a mighty steel vice
That would soon be an icy embrace
Which would serve to ease our getaways
But if I've ever seen your ugliest
It's when I missed your face

Our children became islands
Your singing became silence
So I followed you down
Illustrating to all of the gods my defiance

We erred in our courting
Thus aborting and deforming our tribe
Ill-prepared for conforming
To the lording of a spiritual bribe
That would soon have you doubting the worth
Of your beautiful life on the earth
But if I've ever seen your ugliest
My vision must have blurred
