"Double Exposure" lyrics

"Double Exposure"

Suppose there was something
That I was selling
Out on the weekend
Something feels wrong
And I can't believe it
Out to the balcony –
Now, though it's fading
Can't recreate it
Finally frozen just facing it

Passing protesters
Standing in cinders
Babes and beginners
On a hair trigger
Compromise promises, okay
But then devastation delivers
Blood in the river
It's ending
And you're finally getting it

Then I woke up in
Morning unfolding
Infinite scrolling
I tell you something:
It doesn't take much
For a touch of the tears to start rolling
I can't control it
Rolling like thunder
It's wonderful feeling it

I don't want to lose this
I don't want to run out that far
I don't want to stay too long

I guess it felt good
To think you were winning
Just for a minute
At the beginning
Here's the grand tour:
The world's a sewer
And you're rotting in it
You have to admit it
You think you can think your way out of it?

Cruising through daylight
Leaving the mayhem
Midnight is faded
The future is weightless
New York is empty of souls
And it's almost outrageous
Whole blocks abandoned
Wait for the ocean to open
And swallow it

Trees to the lees
And hills they go sloping
Spread out. I'm seeing
Saltwater patterns
Oh, it means nothing
I'm thinking, but all of it matters
Down the dream ladder
Mystery fingerprints
All over everything

Haze out in honey
Dream in the corner
Somewhere it's sunny
Aim for rekindling
Die for the world
As you learn that it's barely beginning
There's no more lessons
Everything always is broken and innocent

Oh, sweet synesthesia
Malls of mouthbreathers
I-don't-believers
Ride rollercoasters
The world it is endlessly ending
But it's never over
Double exposure
I'm seeing both
And believing in everything

I don't want to lose this
I don't want to run out that far
I don't want to stay too long

I can't quite remember
I was on my way out the door
I was doing something wrong...
