lyrics

they've come to divide us
but love is blindness
so if we love them fiercely enough they won't find us
full immunity
what are they gonna get us for if what we kill em with is kindness?
of course the news is fake
lies are timeless
covered in gloss like a topps' finest
charlie brown to your linus
remind us there's divineness
while vince and the trio carol behind us
stepped out of the sacrament into an almost unbearable lightness
parking's two bucks
gas, a few bucks
but a swift transfer from the naughty to nice list is priceless
no dodo cares that it's flightless
till it befriends an eagle that says "here, try this"
stuck on bear mountain, thinking every gold digger is king midas
zeuses, poseidons, tritons
old white haired bearded shirtless tyrants waving tridents
they're grunge era savings patients
a bunch of guys in dire need of wholesome professional guidance

whats up man?
did you catch the vocal samples?
coming left, right, but finally from both channels?
that's you, and yes it's a joke about lagomorph excrement
be patient, we're making the best of it
'cause it's kinda sorta your last sound testament
at least in the body of work it's collected in
caught off mic at the last pursuit session
that famous winter break 2002 session
but god makes all things new, so now it's a new session
a posthumous me-n-you session
and i'm going to lay it at the foot of the throne as an offering
file under "things you didn't know you could do" session
god's timing's free, you know
a prayer today could be answered 3 years ago
just imagine, the face of love coming through the cleansing flames saying
"my dearest son, you're free to
go"
now, we never talked much about faith
at the time i was kind of without faith
at least any kind of devout faith
i was the kind that would whisper but wouldn't shout faith
and so i boxed you as predisposed to doubt faith
that's rock and roll for you, man
loud thoughts half baked in a pot haze - might say our data was cloud-based
one look up straight then about face
so if he can answer present prayers on past dates
i'm calling out for a last grace
that these two absurd words from your dearest son rise up as this exact phrase every time this track plays
please remember the place you prepared for my friend
please make sure it's still there for my friend
may we all be alive in the superunknown
and may we never fall on black days
