about

Bonus track from the Japanese release of the LP on Caraway Records.

lyrics

You’ve descended from your ride
You relax and step outside
Something’s ticking
But it’s not time
You’ve retained your earthly glow
Still in touch with things you know
But you’re moving, you’re moving so slow
Hold it down
Stay on track

And you’ve gathered from the start
What is setting you apart
Something’s beating
But it’s not your heart
They can think and feel and see
But their faces aren’t like me
Am I losing my memory
Hold it down
Stay on track
You’re on your own
You can’t turn back

Planets know this from afar
Nothing here makes you a star
It’s an ordinary place you see unfurl
Silly creatures on the street
Kicking hands and holding feet
It’s a modern day reactionary world

You begin to feel unwell
What it is is hard to tell
Are you losing, you’re losing yourself
And you really wish you knew
What the odds already do

You can’t calm down
You can’t relax
It’s not worth it now
You ain’t going back

Planets know this from afar
Nothing here makes you a star
It’s an ordinary place you see unfurl
Silly creatures on the street
Kicking hands and holding feet
It’s a modern day reactionary world

And I pray
For what it would take
If you let me go away
Because tomorrow isn’t time
Your world is past its prime
