Protostar
from Tetrahedra by La Mer
lyrics
Death visits on the regular
To maintain a reputation
To remind us who we are
To re-centre our attention
There are things in you that I can break
That hurt more than the heart
Life's as dull as it can fucking get
When you're the brightest star
The loyal sons and daughters
She whispers our name
When doubt darkens our door
When we choose to play this game
And the holy communion
Is a temporary tattoo
Let me show you something better
Outside this union of two
Who'll play God if not us?
We ask the question out of courtesy
But know the answer to it
We're alone here to judge and to execute
“And it’s a dirty job but someone's gotta do it”
Now, this plane will go down
With everyone on board
Exhale the smoke
While you curse the Lord
There is no path to resist it
Everything is falling apart
It'll hold as long as it will hold
And then it'll crash down hard
Now if I offer up myself
Cover quarter of the bill
Everybody pays in full
And I'll owe three quarters still
God won't make a corridor
To let me escape
The motorway eats its own tail
Chokes this city like a snake
Ill-wisher, naysayer!
In their eyes we are devils
Infected with chaos
Ill-wisher, naysayer!
We’re a rabid militia
We're soldiers of terror
And if that's how they see it
Then yes, we can be it
We can be all things
Us faithless infinite beings
Our methods are immortal
We rebel to exist
Fanatism does not bend
To a law or a fist
And I knew from the beginning
That I could never win
I knew from the beginning
I wouldn’t cut it clean
And I knew from the beginning
How all this would end
Dead body, dead body
Dead body in the sand
To maintain a reputation
To remind us who we are
To re-centre our attention
There are things in you that I can break
That hurt more than the heart
Life's as dull as it can fucking get
When you're the brightest star
The loyal sons and daughters
She whispers our name
When doubt darkens our door
When we choose to play this game
And the holy communion
Is a temporary tattoo
Let me show you something better
Outside this union of two
Who'll play God if not us?
We ask the question out of courtesy
But know the answer to it
We're alone here to judge and to execute
“And it’s a dirty job but someone's gotta do it”
Now, this plane will go down
With everyone on board
Exhale the smoke
While you curse the Lord
There is no path to resist it
Everything is falling apart
It'll hold as long as it will hold
And then it'll crash down hard
Now if I offer up myself
Cover quarter of the bill
Everybody pays in full
And I'll owe three quarters still
God won't make a corridor
To let me escape
The motorway eats its own tail

Dead body, dead body
Dead body in the sand
