lyrics

Would someone tell me please the mechanism
For getting by
Remaining other-centered
Without being left to dry
Some kind of way
To excise the doubt
Some crucial detail I can’t live without
Where do cities go when they die?
On what number do the mountains call?
And miss me with those forest trees, and I
See the ocean in the seas, and no-
-body is waving at me, and
Oh, I really just can’t seem to be

Overpass graffiti concrete reads:
“Is nothing, and also not”
Feel the resonant vibrations all neat and tidily taught
And the tides spell out
An outline that speaks
And breaks, confounds, and draws a map for those that seek
Where do cities go when they die?
On what number do the mountains call?
And miss me with those forest trees, and I
See the ocean in the seas, and no-
-body is waving at me, and
Oh, I really just can’t seem to be

My brain’s been getting fried
I’ve been spelling “raze” with a “Z”
That fire inside it burns
But it doesn’t seem to feed
Maybe the only way to get by
Without rolling in curses
Is to abandon all but one
Of the boundless universes
Where do cities go when they die?
On what number do the mountains call?
And miss me with those forest trees, and I
See the ocean in the seas, and no-
-body is waving at me, and
Oh, I really just can’t seem to be
