lyrics

I used to pray that you one day would come around
until they came into our lives and sprayed you on the ground
So now I say who you were, but who has time?
If no one sees, there is no crime

I don't sleep because they don't sleep
How do we sleep?

They came from clear around the world,
the missiles to our homes,
and we just lose forever
I wish that we were drones

To my amazement every time you rise anew
In spite of all that they destroy, so much is left of you
Your brother's heart has burst to flames and I am drowned
in sorrow inbound

And I wish I could fly from here like they do
and not know a thing, just obey,
but I'll sooner die just like you,
it's cheaper that way

And the one staring at your screen,
feeling it in your bones,
I hope you live forever

The Perfect Band recommends:

Yeah Great Fine
by Yeah Great Fine

This record is a fantastic education in the art of meter, and unlike some math-type albums, YGF is fun and satisfying, like going on a rollercoaster, not like being mugged and/or thrown in a trunk. The Perfect Band

Chainmail and Cello
by The Doubleclicks

If listening to my music has led you to conclude that The Perfect Band's dump stat is charisma, you should get this record immediately. If not, do it for its smashing tunes, sense of humor, and elves. The Perfect Band

Mr. Noah's Opus
by Noah Kleiman

Subconscious co-producer Noah Kleiman croons about charmin' chaps, ladies wearing nothing but the cat, and internal revenue code 501(c)(3). Also see "I'm On The Internet All the Time" for dating tips. The Perfect Band
