"The Me-Monster" lyrics

Unmarked graves and unmade beds
We're swept by the elements
So elegant and intimate
Siren song stuck in my head
Turn away Odysseus
It never really ends

The bottom line, we fucked it up
The me-monster has come undone
The creepy crawly, things I've learnt
The football telephone, sister's glove, Jumbo's room

The eighth wonder of the whole damn world
My empathy has come unfurled
Is it Atlantis or just Waterworld?
It's drowning just to compromise
Was it real or was it lies?
The low was never worth the high

A ship wrecked on a foreign shore
(I woke up to the sound of the kites)
I'm thawed out from our cold war
(All my leaves were olive branches)
From Augusta to Baltimore
(Tangling the best intentions)
I'll send a raven (El Dorado)
I hope you hate it (now in vibrato)

The bottom line, we fucked it up
The me-monster has come undone
The creepy crawly, things I've learnt
The football telephone, sister's glove, Jumbo's room

A telegram
From years ago
Includes the book of all the songs that I wrote
About our love
And time travel
And that you get all of this relational

You cut me up like a four leaf clover
Tied around a string
In a bag on your shoulder
And hum along to a song from the tree
Like a page that you creased
In a book that you're never gonna read

Keep the mystery
Keep the mystery
Keep the mystery
Keep the mystery
Yeah

The bottom line, we fucked it up
The me-monster has come undone
The creepy crawly, things I've learnt
The football telephone, sister's glove, Jumbo's room
Sister's glove, Jumbo's room
