Heal.
How?
Faith?
Faith.
Powerless
Against the music
In their helmets.
I
Have done
Such bad work,
I’m greedy for life
Take it,
Steal it.
If you don’t feel it,
I won’t feel it
Let’s kill
War with
Our happy hopes
And comforting myths
‘Don’t
Just do
Something,
Stand there,’
Yea, just stand there

They say, ‘ya gotta live in the moment’
They keep saying, ‘Just live in the moment’
Oh, you gotta live in the moment
What they don’t say,
Is the moment
Is a wild place
Is a wild place

If
I’m free
Why do I
Feel like this?
Is
This all
My dreaming
Accomplishes?
Thus
Began
The longest
Night of our lives
‘Understand?
No but,
It’s brilliant.’*
It’s brilliant

They say, ‘just live in the moment’
They keep saying, I gotta live in the moment
Ah, just live in the moment
But what they don’t say,
Is the moment
Is a wild place. It’s a wild place

Heal.
How?
Faith?
Faith.
Just be
Yourself,
Or be Johnny,
Or be Johnny Cash

They say, ‘Just live in the moment’
They keep saying, “Ya gotta live in the moment”
Oh, why can’t you live in the moment?
But what they don’t say
Is the moment
Is a wild place. It’s a wild place.
