lyrics

Slow Explosion

Campfire, campfire
oh, I'm in love with my annual desire
and to choose a wife to force me
up and down these stairs
and see the stars of my exhaustion sparkling

I can't see a thing
don't even know what I'm looking at

Oh, be my bride
this little boy said
oh, be my bride
this little boy said, or I'll be dead

wash your face
in the mud
wash your face in the mud made from my ashes
this sneering muddy face could mix into a crowded place
and come out
shining like
the rising autumn sun

a slow explosion in the trees

I can't see a thing
don't even know what I'm looking at

I tried to be transparent with you
I can't see a thing
