lyrics

this fix is about ten beyond
where red stains reach out from
above the druid hills

you feel it coming loose in
that unspoken way

sudden symmetry and
sudden symmetry

that renders him
so artfully in light

you'll stop now
i see you’re holding yourself like
the father we left
at a feverish pace

take two now
and then you’re coming right back
with his promising look
and a serial smile

so you stammer on and
can't help but hesitate
when asked lightly about
where the Aster’s gone

now your touch is seeming
less electric and
now your touch is seeming
less electric

as your hands corrode
so artfully in light

what’s left now
only the sketches you tried
over a featureless doll
yelling “the future’s now!”

take three down
and then you’re coming right back
with his promising look
and a serial smile
