This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption — redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above / It's easy, it's easy as life

[halfjay]

See it fall, child of war, lend a mending hand.

[halfjay]

Treasure hunter, you are dead / The light of the world is fading

[halfjay]

I saw what you can’t see, I saw tiny lights and mountainous peaks / I saw your future in my sleep

[halfjay]

Lay all your love on me!

[halfjay]

Little brother — where, where do you run? We strychnined the mountain, we strychnined the plain. Little brother, the coyote won’t come back again.

[halfjay]

And I visited my brother on the outskirts of Olympia, where the forest and the water become one / And we talked about our childhood, like a dream we were convinced of, that perfect, peaceful street that we came from

[halfjay]

And under swaying trees, we fell asleep and had the same dream / The stars were bright, we dream the same every night

[halfjay]

And I can see how people look down, I’m on the outside. Here’s where the story ends.

[halfjay]

First I cried for him, and then I cried for me — haunted by the ghost of the girl I used to be.

[halfjay]

And the world screams, “Kiss me, son of God!”

[halfjay]

And don’t act strange, don’t be a stranger, it happened to me, now it’s happening to you — but but if you take that train underwater, then we could talk it through.

[halfjay]

And we plotted out my death, in every city, memories would whisper, “here is where you rest.”

[halfjay]

But I got wise — you’re the devil in disguise!

[halfjay]

No more shame, no more fear, no more dread. I am, I am, I am, I am the truth.

[halfjay]

I am hungry, I was been hungry, I was born hungry — what do I need?

[halfjay]

I suffer mornings most of all, I feel so powerless and small. By 10 o’clock I’m back in bed, fighting the jury in my head.
