Father John Misty - "Past Is A Nightmare I'm Trying To Wake Up From" Lyrics

Father John Misty Lyrics

""Past Is A Nightmare I'm Trying To Wake Up From""

Ancient holy wars
Dead religions
Holocausts
New regimes, old ideas
"That's now myth, that's now real"
Original sin
Genetic fate
Revolutions
Spinning plates
"It's important to stay informed"
So legless freedom marches on
Oh, and no one ever really knows you
And life is brief
So I've heard but what's that gotta do with
The atom bomb and me

Age-old gender roles
Infotainment
Capital
Golden boughs and
Mercury
Millennial fashion
Dust-bowl chic
This documentary is lost on me
Satirical news
Free energy
Mobile lifestyle
Loveless sex
Independence
Happiness
Oh, and no one ever knows the "real you"
And life is brief
So I've heard but what's that gotta do with
This black hole and me

Coliseum families
The golden era of TV
Eunuch's trance
Consumer slaves
A rose by any other name
Carbon footprint
Incest dreams
Fuck the mother in the green
Planet cancer
Sweet revenge
Isolation
Online friends
Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty
But what's your paradise got to do with Adam and Eve?
Yeah love is just a commodity based on resource scarcity
So I've heard but what's that got to do
With you and me
