lyrics

The shell lit Charlotte
Mistook for a blood moon
The lights have been down
For three weeks now

And I’ve been waiting for a sign
But when I fold my hands
The fog is thicker still
So maybe the signal
Does not enter
But inters at will

The monkey’s eight
Platypus nine
The waiting only feels like wasted time
And the thing that really gets me
Is that I know I’m right

The land of broken sleep
Apnea, awake
And you concede
You can’t afford to dream
Much less stand in front of the tank
Out in your street
Much less buy yourself a seat

The sky sent us a message
We can finally read
Congratulations
You’ve ruined the surprise for us all

And if I’m waiting for a sign
Make it a Big Mac
With salted yellow fries
Cuz if I’m gonna die
It might as well be on my own terms

The platypus has skipped the line
Poseidon’s face is on the dime
Saying give to me what’s rightfully mine

The land of broken sleep
Apnea, awake
And you concede
You can’t afford to dream
Much less stand in front of the tank
Out in your street
Much less buy yourself a seat
