lyrics

when i make this sound "love"
that sound hit's your ears
& the hairs in your ear vibrate
& you hear a word

& in your mind you hit rewind
& go back in time
through your memories of love
or maybe lack there of
but as memories are the guide
that we use to define
& i know yours aren't the same as mine
well that's why i'd rather not say anything at all...

but love is realizing all is none
& none is all
winter, spring, summer, fall
days, seasons, years
only appear to be here to me
cuz i got a spark in my ear
& hear through my ears
& when i see that spark in your eyes
those lies i live become meaningless
hypnotize me till ain't nothing real but this
till i confuse my heartbreak with apocalypse
& apocalypse with heartbreak
till i want to take all i can throw
& throw it all away
we're all pushing up the daisies
& this our passion play
so come on, let's say

away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go

to death depart
those words
my heart
don't start
it never began
& the older i get
the more i forget
to start my heart
& it never ends
a lie it spread
inside my head
i thought i was dead
but now i know i am living
so i've come to find
what was left behind
in the wake of my mistakes
that are too late to correct
& when i hate i forget about
that force above the trees that reminds me
now's an eternity
now's an eternity

to sleep
to wake
to work
to play
to think
to say
to do
to be
to want
to need
to kiss
to suck
to love
to fuck
to text
to call
i love you all
but i forget
i forget
life's not a check list

away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go

"& when we break as we wait for our miracles
remember god is just a place where you'll wait & wait for the rest of your life
& when we break as we wait & wait for our miracles
remember god is just a place where some holy spectacle lies"
"well i'd like to find it, but i guess it's something you just feel
& i'd like to feel it, but I'm afraid that it just isn't real
& god is whoever you perform for
& god is whoever you perform for
& god is whoever you perform for
& god is whoever you perform for"

it's you:
the universe in my head
the water that i tread
a dancer wild as a flame set
an endless pain that ain't quite healed yet
you're the hands i have to let go of
when my clock runs out
& i might never even know you
i might never even know you
but i know we all break


"& when we break as we wait for our miracles
remember god is just a place where some holy spectacle lies"
& when we break as we wait & wait for our miracles
remember god is just a place where you'll wait & wait for the rest of your life"

i'll wait for it for the rest of my life
for the rest of my life...
for the rest of my life...
for the rest of my life...

away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go
away go ego, away go ego, let go

how do you find it?
can you keep it?
how's it feel when it's not there?
does it follow rhyme or reason?
how's it end?
how's it end?
how's it end?
how's it end?
