lyrics

I’ve got something
hidden up my sleeve.
A new blueprint, a new movement,
a new narrative to believe.
One of runaways
making an escape.
The pylons drifting,
the trees flickering.

And we’ll make marks
like contrails...
like bow waves, like pink flares...
like chemical trails.

You animate me
like a zoetrope,
illuminate me
with a flashing strobe.

We’ll self-surrender
into ego death.
Watch walls breathe, watch phosphenes,
watch textures flex.
Whatever you do,
don’t you ever stop moving.
Whatever you do, don’t –
don’t you ever stop making.

And we’ll make marks
like contrails...
like bow waves, like pink flares...
like chemical trails.

You animate me,
breathe life inside me.
You make me
burn more brightly.
