like lucid dreaming
i'm lucid singing
i'm also listening to me
never could have
told you till now that
the audience was just me
and you above all i've tried to please
and you've kept me on my knees
you won't be asked back
counted sheep but
i forgot me
i have sheltered myself from light
we only come out at night
we're digging our graves
why not when there's nothing to save?
there's nothing to save
there's nothing there
just forget me
dear los angeles
you know you've bled me
now i'm clogging the machinery
i'm just clogging the machinery
i'm clogging you up
so where is this going?
the faces are blurring
i'm clinging to nothing
when's the kingdom coming?
your name floosa the atlas
it's my working title
the title's not working
still you're undefeated
can't get here from here
why won't my life count?
i bit all i could bear
can't chew your naked fear
there is no escape from
anyplace you run from
there is no relief from
a wound unforgiven
there is no redemption
within the revision
there is nothing special
about this condition
so when are they leaving?
and when are you coming to bed?
i've been dreaming about smog and palm trees
and congested freeways
this one went to portland
this one went to lansing
this one went to market
this one went wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee all the way home
there is no redemption
there's only revision
so choose your religion
now feed in the scantron
tally the red dashes
keep the number in mind
for all time
and where are we going?
where are we going?
