lyrics

Took a look at the ocean.
How it already knew
is uncertain, but my eyes sure
were being stared right back into.

It’s been here for all this time.
Must have missed a million cues.
Bleed the heavens into my eyes
and please let me introduce:

This is called the now.
How I’ve waited for you.
Quit stalling now
and create in the truth.
There’s no golden hour.
The future is blue.
It’s over now
The past can only shape the fool.

I’ve been forcing a distance
between me and what I do.
As long as I don’t cut myself slack
I’ll keep tightening the noose.

I present to you, Green Grass:
my foot without a shoe.
Letting go of the future
without further ado.


This is called the now.
How I’ve waited for you.
Quit stalling now
and create in the truth.
There’s no golden hour.
The future is blue.
It’s over now
The past can only shape the fool.

A dizzy, grainy light with a high pitched sinus tone to match it, ringing in your ears while all other sounds move back into the distance. The type of light you might expect to see when being on the verge of passing out. ... more
