lyrics

Nothing lasts but I will lie with you
The past is glass under my shoe
Nothing lasts but I’m in love with you
This too will pass in time

Grass fingers reach from pavement
some day the city will sleep in a green blanket
until then

I’m always there (X4)

I feel endless when you’re lying on my chest
let’s pretend this is eternal
in the distance there’s a vanishing point
but we’re not there yet and we may never be

Right now
is all my life is
I’ll keep faith even in
the face of the end

I’m always there

This all ends in
a smile shaped scar
until then
I am never far

I’m always there

FACTION UNDER THE GROVE

Stay close and pray with me
we’ll all be gone soon
fat beached bodies under burning trees
we’ll all be gone soon

we’re the faction from under the grove
you’ve forgotten but you won’t now

just keep an eye on the horizon for our neon signs

filming cops in racist shootouts
we’re just so many flies
on your wall
coming out to break your down down
watch you nail your wife
to watch you bathe your newborn child

levitation down on bourbon street they charge two dollars for one
and three dollars for you
they stole my lady
now she’s floating over the interstate 2

I never lied
the rec center’s on fire
just watch the tide
this could be the night

just keep an eye on the tide for my fish-eyed bride

filming cops in racist shootouts
here at the tailgate party
cooking steaks and wasting everyone’s time
a bum asked us
if we have a hard time
getting to sleep at night
sleep at night
some of us might

cyber wars
and flesh farms
i can’t feel my left arm

the shade of something winged
the shade of something winged
follows me on through the spring
god rip the stars from my eyes
god show me how to be of use

we’re the faction from under the grove
you’ve forgotten but you won’t now
this is our chance to make it right
this is our chance to let it fade
