Overture

You were holding your chapstick like a cigarette
Sitting in the backseat of your best friend’s car
You were looking out the window at the fast food chains
Or were you looking for a way out from tradition and shopping malls
You screamed:
«There is more to life than just the suburbs
And though we might miss our parents and our sisters
There is someplace calling me, drawing me and fucking up my sleep
And I am not one to resist temptation
I wanna go where everybody looks the same
And nobody knows my name
And I don’t have to answer anyone
Take all the space that I know well
Trade it for a tiny cell, live inside and start another life"
Well, if there is an answer to our prayer
Surely it lies between two rivers there
Everybody’s talking about how they wanna die young
But I wanna live forever
I used to tell you many things
About the way the future would bring us answers in bags with bows
Now I don’t know what’s in front of me
I don’t know what’s right behind me
Paranoid incessantly thoughts of us evanescing
Into a nest of muscle and bone
I will always be beside you in Sunnyside on stormy islands
Somewhere in the miles of code
This might feel strange for a while
Leave it to me I’ll save the files
There’s a glitch in the hall
She won’t answer the call
Self belief razor-thin, a history filled with sin
And the rat at the door, I can hear him and he’s clawing for more
Let me out of the cage, I have plenty to say
Where does it end? I live on an island!
Where does it end? I live on an island!
The room has never felt so still
The curtains drawn, the creature falls, the current stalls
Your eyes have never looked so blue
I love you now, I love you now, I love you now
Now, now, now, now…
