lyrics

It took me far too long to give up all my channeling
The results wore thin
And I still felt like shit
But now those summoned spirits demand their own finality
So I drowned them out
With songs and stories

But now their bodies
Are surfacing for me
To remind me of the ways I cut my teeth
Putting meaning into meaningless things

And twenty years on when the distortion is all that's left
You're still hunting for clues
Through the holes in your own head
But now there's people living inside of your identity
Some elaborate fiction
That only you can see

But now their bodies dissolve
Before your very eyes
When you realize the things that you believe
Are just meaning in a meaningless thing

I watched that woman from afar
Dreamt I could see her shallow breath
I saw so vividly her steps
I saw her lost inside of her head
And when she chose to jump
And the ground had met her feet
She stood there for a second
And I swear she was looking at me

As her body became
Something like raw meat.
