lyrics

ERASING CONSTELLATIONS
 
Someone give that Samson guy a haircut,
drain the blood from Cinderella's shoe.
Sun will strike a pose over the water,
moon will laugh a dance upon the dead.
 
I try to clear my head, I only think of you.
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
 
Terror is connected to the airplane,
the airplane connected to the sky.
This year I am dressing up as lightning,
cause my lady's always striking like a kite.
I think I met the devil in chicago,
I swear I saw an angel in her eyes.
 
"I look around," she said, "and alls I see is signs."
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
 
Sweety, let's get married in a courthouse.
The courthouse is connected to the law
of prophets we connect with like a crossbite.
Law is just two letters shy of lie.
 
High hopes connected to a diamond,
diamond connected to a ring.
Love is not a shiny kind of fool's gold.
Cupid connected with a sling.
 
Second-graders second-guessing bedtime.
Liberty is buzzing like a bell.
Reverand ringing freedom with a shovel
that buries people like the ocean buries shells.
 
Stretch a parenthesis of problems,
walls to keep the talking in our heads.
Gentrifying Sodom and Gomorrah,
utopia is hanged by a thread.
 
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
 
Was I designed?
Was I designed?
 
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
Connected to the problem.
 
 
DAS - Louisville, Kentucky, USA
