lyrics

Lies don’t want to live like this
The wolves have all gone south
And only our bankrupt hearts could smile
From the inside of the wyvern’s mouth

Another day is flushed away
The machine is finely tuned
And the hunters chant their hymn of reason
Inside of the spider’s room

How could we choose to live like this
Held in our pupic state
Offering up our first of kin
Hoping that they will take the bait

There’s an owl in the bedroom
They visit but they don’t leave
The glowing font of the sieve
We’re expected

The last hour was a blank check
They leave us but they’re still here
I’m seeing things that don’t appear
We’re expected

I am the elephant in this room
I lost what I crave
It’s been an ice age
Consolation
(It was the moon / it wasn’t the moon)

We are all involved in the same dream
I am you and you are me
There was somebody, there was something
What have I done?
(It was a dream / it wasn’t a dream)

Guitar work and synth are on-point. Great vocal melodies, too, really help make this stuff stand out from the rest. Tal Kliger
