lyrics

I'm on a shattered path
A remnant of order
A newborn psychopathic man approaching foreign borders

I toe the pseudo-line
The line of heavy looks
I've got a tingle-spine: a discipline on tenterhooks

I see an apparition
A being phosphorescent
I've got a premonition
Moon, you've gone and lost your crescent

Something's on the far horizon
It's something monumental
Just now I'm realizing Apparition Transcendental

You will meet salvation when they bury you
You will know your mother when you die

I'm on a mountainside
That's right, I climb a mountain
I'm planning suicide
I'm at a thousand feet and counting

I'm almost at the top
And from the top I'm jumping
I see a helicopter

Hold up, think I'm hearing something

I hear the voice of God
The God of Giving Up
He tosses me a line affixed to a paper cup

It's like some kind of telephone
From back when I was tree-forting
This god is nine years old
And now he's reporting

You will need conviction on the precipice
You will see the light before the fall

I need you to fill me with all your hopes and fears
Your resolution pales before the oft impending Apparition Transcendental

I'm on a mountainside
That's right, I climb a mountain
I'm planning suicide
I'm at a thousand feet and counting

I'm almost at the top
And from the tippy-top I'm jumping
I see a helicopter
Hold up, think I'm hearing something

I hear the voice of God

The God of Giving Up
He tosses me a line affixed to a paper cup

It's like some kind of telephone
I've got a bad connection
I'm calling Mother Nature
Think she made a bad selection

You will need conviction on the precipice
You will see the light before the fall

I need you to fill me with all your hopes and fears
Your resolution pales before the oft impending Apparition Transcendental
