We're Still 03:57
I don’t remember who we ratted out, but we did I don’t remember their names, their faces, their sins I don’t remember who we ratted out but we did I don’t remember the reason or the words I’m here talking to you all night Two chords and a melody and I’m alright, I’m just fine I don’t remember who we ratted out but we did Don’t remember their names, their faces, their sins Theyre no longer here While we’re still free We’re still breathing in air legally I don’t remember who we ratted out, but we did Don’t remember their names, their faces, their sins I don’t remember who we ratted out, but we did Don’t remember the faces, the places where we’d been I'm still standing here in the yard And I am here holding their stare And Im still breathing in their air They’re no longer here

Lost my glasses in March and the world has gotten blurry from nearsightedness and tears I can still make out the horizon Illuminated by the Great Conjunction and, while I no longer function I will stare at the Christmas Star And whisper “where have you been?” “Where will we go? Take me with you Before you’re gone.” I leave stains on the shirt where they fell I will keep plodding along Even though this may be Hell all along I am not feeling too well If that wasn’t apparent But lets listen to the wind and stare at the star Hoping to shed some light on where we are

Never felt the blackness of night Until I stepped into the Lake I walked straight off queens landing and into the green frothy shores The birds on the wire sit and conspire about how they’re going to be fed I run inside more dead than alive just trying to cover my head [Chorus] Don’t let the Mandible linger let it drop true and quick and as the tip falls the birds will sing high above my head Sensation of movement illusion of progress but even a slow boat can get you gone When you lose yourself go back to the last place you were

How can I forget? How can I forget? Take me back to the beginning How can I regret? How can I regret? Take me back to the beginning Time reaching forward Memory leaning back These strange artifacts disrupting nature’s flow the natural flow of forgetting How can I reset? How can I reset? Take me back to the beginning

Receive a chorus of “Please” But they ignore our collective pleas Then Congress said: “We’re done for the season We wish you nothing but joy” So they sent a collection of crumbs They sent a collection of crumbs They sent a collection of crumbs “We’re done for the season We wish you nothing but glad tidings from our palatial homes” Sent a collection of crumbs by United States Mail Got delayed in December hail Seem to have fallen off the rails We said we’re watching each act of indifference we will save the receipts we will remember your deceits Start a reflection of “how come” How did we arrive at this outcome? Don’t Panic. Organize. We will not succumb To unreason We will overcome This season
