Lyrics

1. murakami

I hear the bells I hear the wind

I hear a song in my heart again

In the tenderness moves all things

Like a poltergeist in the streets

It's a silly rush that I used to get

Singing Billie or reading Vonnegut

I could teleport to the stars

Kinda strange that I'm all alone

'Cause you really hold me down like that

'Cause you really know what's down like that

Like the universe is singing a song

Do you feel it when you write like that?

Do you feel it cause you're down like that?

Like the universe is singing a song

'Cause you really hold me down like that

'Cause you really know what's down like that

Like the universe is singing a song

Do you feel it when you write like that?

Do you feel it cause you're down like that?

Like the universe is singing a song

It's just a story though

Is it a story though?

I can't tell if it happened cause it felt impossible

Don't know whether it was real or a dream

Imagination playing tricks on me

Now tell me what you know

Is this a story or

An allegory for the racket knocking at my door?

What's the difference if it's real or a dream?

Imagination playing tricks on me

What's the difference in my love or scheme?

The difference in what you say what you mean?

What you mean you don't really know?

I'm losing touch with the physical

I'm showing up in the future like I've been here before

Ain't that a story though?

Like you ain't even know

Somebody switching the digits up on my Casio

Don't know whether this is real or a dream

Imagination playing tricks on me

2. death

Feel it rush like a hush in the attic

You could see me blush when I tell you all about it

In a moment hit the switch, then a moment in the dark

Then a moment so pervasive it was breaking us apart

The galaxy is spreading like a rumor in your jaw

Better keep your planet spinning better keep the motive tall

There’s time inside my tears making diamonds on the wall

Heavy forest summer night, I confess that I'm a lightweight

Cause fate is rolling up and hate is blowing up

If it’s a crime to bend the line then we should tear it up

And when the waters start to cross, I'll call you up

I genuinely love to hear your thoughts

Inherited these ways and they came with seven claws

Like the terror that remains every morning in the dark

And the tethers that you lace only tie you in a knot

Don’t fall for all the blame, don’t rely on the applause

Tripping for so long, I've been tripping for so long

Tripping for so long, I've been tripping for so long

Your burden was the weight of a feather

I was certain if I waited you’d remember

When the comet took me out into space

When you held your breath, looking at my face

Now I comprehend that death is not the end

And the world that we destroyed wasn't real enough to live in

But I’m alive, yes I'm alive

I can feel it running up and down my spine

Tripping for so long, I've been tripping for so long

Tripping for so long, I've been tripping for so long

Tripping for so long, I've been tripping for so long

Tripping for so long, I've been tripping for so long
