"Paper Glaciers" lyrics
I've been skipping time and space through black holes
I am dissonant and without grace
Raped myself to aether and self-destructive dust, don't ever change
Caught myself between a coma and a lie, dissociate and justify
Commit the highest crimes for small joys and the like
Weave the web right through the thread count
Wash it clean like hotel sheets
Chart lines through me, make the atlas bleed
Charm God himself with my schemes
Wither beneath your gaze
And we'll drag this out for days
We can go through line by line
Itemise the slow decline, and all the things you hate
Once again I find myself the sparrow
Picking pieces from my bones
Dancing reckless in the hallows
Parting seas and skipping stones
Weave the web right through the thread count
Wash it clean like hotel sheets
Chart lines through me, make the atlas bleed
Charm God himself with my schemes
High time for a codeine odyssey
Chemicals and warm bodies meet
Where everywhere is raining all at once, and we're underneath
You said, "Let's slowly drift apart"
We'll watch each other from afar
Just like paper glaciers
Here's some fucking food for thought
For many years, I've tried to swallow
Many million civil wars with kindred
And so it follows
Baying of the pigs to keep the beast fed
How does it feel
Shilling for your fickle cause, your own bed?
Fucking lie in it
Not Heaven-sent
You should know better than that
"You're not Heaven-sent, but you should know better than that"
(Know better than that)
"You're not Heaven-sent, but you should know better than that"
But you should have known better than that
High time for a codeine odyssey
Chemicals and warm bodies meet
Where everywhere is raining all at once, and we're underneath
You said, "Let's slowly drift apart"
We'll watch each other from afar
Just like paper glaciers
Just like paper glaciers
I am dissonant and without grace
Raped myself to aether and self-destructive dust, don't ever change
Caught myself between a coma and a lie, dissociate and justify
Commit the highest crimes for small joys and the like
Weave the web right through the thread count
Wash it clean like hotel sheets
Chart lines through me, make the atlas bleed
Charm God himself with my schemes
Wither beneath your gaze
And we'll drag this out for days
We can go through line by line
Itemise the slow decline, and all the things you hate
Once again I find myself the sparrow
Picking pieces from my bones
Dancing reckless in the hallows
Parting seas and skipping stones
Weave the web right through the thread count
Wash it clean like hotel sheets
Chart lines through me, make the atlas bleed
Charm God himself with my schemes
High time for a codeine odyssey
Chemicals and warm bodies meet
Where everywhere is raining all at once, and we're underneath
You said, "Let's slowly drift apart"
We'll watch each other from afar
Just like paper glaciers
Here's some fucking food for thought
For many years, I've tried to swallow
Many million civil wars with kindred
And so it follows
Baying of the pigs to keep the beast fed
How does it feel
Shilling for your fickle cause, your own bed?
Fucking lie in it
Not Heaven-sent
You should know better than that
"You're not Heaven-sent, but you should know better than that"
(Know better than that)
"You're not Heaven-sent, but you should know better than that"
But you should have known better than that
High time for a codeine odyssey
Chemicals and warm bodies meet
Where everywhere is raining all at once, and we're underneath
You said, "Let's slowly drift apart"
We'll watch each other from afar
Just like paper glaciers
Just like paper glaciers
