lyrics

So important…
So important…
So important… so important…
So important…
Tearing up molehills.
Building up mountains: two giant mountains.
Writing in clouds.
Monuments and fountains and paragraphs about clowns…
So important… so important…
So important… so important…
So important… so important…
So important… so important…

Waiting for breaking, and I know I probably shouldn’t be writing right now.
Hyper-personal, emotional confessional, yes, I know that the situation's probably not sustainable.
Breathing or reading, a man can only do so much sleeping now.
Meta-personal, try for universal and maybe these things can/will also apply to your world.
I am fire. You are water. He is earth. I am so much hotter.
Critical elevator, reader-writer penetrator, I am God: my voice inside your headphones.
Engines burning, smoke is streaming, we will meet or there will be disaster.
Such an important meta meta meta letter, I ’d better go get ready for the pending critical disaster.
Falling, falling, faster, faster – I am going to crash into your ocean.
Falling, falling, faster, faster – pages burn and ashes fall to the ocean.
