From the recording Songs in the Key of (E)nnui
Lyrics
35mm film
We were a walking elegy
Sepia-toned galaxies
Crowded constellations fill the sky
CHORUS 1
Here we stand, in the aftermath
Aimed for the skies, overshot the mark
Where we land in the dark
VERSE 2
Faded lights in silent rooms
Refracted shadows reach for the moon
Maybe we ended
Maybe we started too soon
CHORUS 2 (Variation)
Here we stand, in the aftermath
Burned up the skies, fall through the dark
Where we land—did we miss the mark?
BRIDGE
Now our screens cast transient light
Hyper-saturated, I’m not sure we’re alright
CHORUS 3 (Final Repeat)
Here we stand, in the aftermath
Aimed for the skies—did we miss the mark?
Here we stand, in the aftermath
Burned up the skies, fall through the dark
