lyrics

The burning trees outside your door turn shocking flat in two dimensions
Your friend who is a saint is crazy and yelling at cars on the street
While the afterbirth of the computer world singes your lips
A wiry haze of hot phantoms lingers on the telephone wires
Making messages for governments and citizens
With numbers and bibles and physics
The psychedelic limelight of your mind twists through time
In a century made of laughter stretched bitterly through code
This feverish feel sits as jelly in the air as strangers dance with electronics
Superman unveils a fresh philosophy
Musclemen flex in identical outfits
The implants in your brain seize your muscles and lead you to a temple
The lithium in your computer sizzles as you walk
The internet downs another victim
All the men on YouTube have a synchronized orgasm
And your wonderful heart leaps at the beauty of the morning
Everyone in your dreams is you
Each human being is supreme supreme

You find yourself beside a cave
Where a vibrating and uncanny creature needs you to make a decision
Its legs are showing bone and smell like carrion
It knows your power and is waiting for you to choose
Will you hold it as it dies in the sun
Or will you drag it back into the cave to live in agony again?
Now that you are seeing it again in the daylight
Will you let an awful mercy take it home
Or will you keep it for yourself in the darkness of you?

Which is the curse? Which is the power?
Is there a curse? Is there a power?
