lyrics

Once I fried my battery,
Once I fried my battery good,
Just because I knew I could,
Made me feel like I had power.

I don’t think searchlights are there to sell,
I think they’re just trying to be clouds as well,
Until the power is cut,
And then the sparks that once were chemistry are badly bonded parts.

We were searching the sky at night,
For signs that feathered beings once did take flight,
But all we found was your violence.
A setting sign of your violence.

I’m not the electrician,
But lead pencil tips draw the lines in the sky,
Like sad songbirds with no clue,
What dying species they belong to.

We aren’t bullets,
With feathered limbs,
Stripped of their wings and swindled into a spin.
Because the sun isn’t close enough,
We need to feel the heat under our feet.

Once I fried my battery,
Thinking I knew there was more,
But I’m not a bird,
No I’m not a bird,
The current shocked me like the good fucking word.

The wind is bullets,
Wind farmers pilot pigeons into a traipse,
And my tilted Cygnus,
Temerariously runs into the straight.
