about

This song is about nothing, unless you want it to be. I'll let you fill in the blanks.

lyrics

Today I washed away the sun
To burn away the moon.
Today my life just floated away
Off to the unliving bay
I don't know
And I don't care
Today I saw my toes fall off
I let out a really big cough
Today my blood ran cold through the sand
I had rediscovered land
I don't know
But I think I care

A frozen black star burned dark with fright
It ate away our might
It pulled me in with its immeasurable pull
And made my mind go dull
A melting white star burns bright but small
That tries to save us all
But the blackstar makes it too hard to hear
Controlling us with fear

Today I cut my fingers off
To turn into a moth
Today my life is finally done
I'm no longer having fun
I think I know
I think I care
Today I scooped my eyeballs out
To see the face of God
Today I jumped from a moving plane
To catch my sugar cane
I know
And I care

A frozen black star burned dark with fright
It ate away our might
It pulled me in with its immeasurable pull
And made my mind go dull
A melting white star burns bright but small
That tries to save us all
But the blackstar makes it too hard to hear
Controlling us with fear
