I’m atop a dark tower in a real dark place
I make out a dark field and a couple dark shapes,
but I’ve seen stranger things with my eyes closed
And I keep telling myself
That I’m okay,
that I’m okay,
that I’m not blind, but the darkness takes me anyway.
And I’m here now
I’m not where I want to be
but I’ll make it there someday.
Help me pour White Russians over White Russian Sages
Ring around the table; pa** the audio-input cable
Feel loss with me. Feel loss, Sophie.
Everyone sees
Everyone sees
Everyone sees
And I’m lost again, wandering
through the Hanging Gardens.
I breathe in just to breathe in.
“Breathe in the Pale Light, Honor –
ride the Cold Horse onward.”
I’m amid the smoke and rubble of the Town’s Old Church
I make out the crooked figure of an old man’s corpse,
but I’ve seen stranger things with my eyes closed
And I keep repeating to myself
that I’m okay,
that I’m okay,
that I’m not blind, but the darkness takes me anyway.
And I’m here now
I’m not where I wanna be
but I’ll make it there someday.
Mom and Dad are helping with the bomb vest:
“Clip it tight and pray, son. We all die young.”
And Evie smokes rings – heavy smoke rings
Everyone sings
Everyone sings
Everyone sings
And I’m lost again, wandering
through the Hanging Gardens.
I breathe in just to breathe in.
“Breathe in the Pale Light, Honor –
ride the Cold Horse onward.”
Let us prey on angels, demons, gods, and devils.
‘Cause there’s something ‘bout being mortal.
…
Fallout/Fallout
So breathe in. Just breathe in.
“Suffocate as the world burns, Honor –
ride the Cold Horse onward.”
What was it Rust Cohle said about a midnight?
Somethin’ ‘bout walking hand-in-hand into the midnight
What was it Rust Cohle said about a midnight?
Somethin’ ‘bout walking hand-in-hand into the midnight
Through the Hanging Gardens
I breathe in just to breathe in.
“Breathe in the Pale Light, Honor –
ride the Cold Horse onward.”
