God of first and last things
father of our failing
the mirror knows us well
better than we know ourselves
now go
the world won’t wait so long
go on
all your noble efforts
sacrificial fireworks
smell the sulfur when all goes wrong
wicked people have no songs
now go
the world won’t wait so long
a crime to see it wasted
before all is said and done
go on
so we made a mountain
from the white lie landfill
how it used to protect us
let’s build a fire and
burn it down
now go
the world won’t wait so long
a crime to see it wasted
before all is said and done
go on
go on
go on
go on
close your naked eye
close your naked eye
it’s a sin to keep it open
why you keep it open?
close your naked eye
close your naked eye
and see
