Glass and the Ghost Children Lyrics

    To the center of the earth
    Or anywhere god decides
    For the fever pulling forth
    We hear our call is all

    And to the center of the earth
    As if written in
    And DNA is regenomed
    To your frequency

    I want to live
    And don't want to die
    I want to live
    I want to try

    All in prayer
    Prayer ends all
    All are scared
    Scared of love

    Black room are calling
    To men in leather coats
    White labs are cooking
    Up the silver golds
    The glass migrates under
    A translucent skin
    And all the spiders wonder
    What we've got us in

    All is you
    You are all
    All with you
    You ends all

    I want to live
    I don't want to die
    I want to live
    I want to try


    So, it's all very obtuse
    Because it's all like, like, I don't know
    So, like, I started thinking
    That everything I operate on
    Is based on what I believe god was telling me to do
    God could be my intuition or whatever
    But I always assume
    I always assume that the voice I hear is the voice of god
    Then I started thinking
    What if I'm insane
    So I'm operating on the premise that I'm hearing the voice of god
    Or what I perceive to be god speaking to me or through me
    But maybe I'm completly in...
    So all my...
    Demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance
    My, my..
    Thinking that my life has importance
    My, my, my thought of it
    And the fact that I believe that I'm following my intuition
    Which in and of itself may be completely false
    So then I started freaking out thinking...
    Of itself may be completely false
    And again this creature that believes that he's acting upon
    Heavenly intuition, but meanwhile he's totally rampant
    And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
    Of all the negativity against...
    And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
    Of all the negativity against...
    And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
    Of all the negativity against...


    So meets the final coda
    Of our vinyl storm
    One more cherry cola
    To lift up our dead arms
    A dream of soft-focused sunsets
    Filters through the din
    We are losing contact
    As she dials it in
    She can hear glass callin'
    Or is it someone that looks like him
    She eyes tv reflection
    And nods a knowing look
    She says it doesn't matter
    She'd never liked her looks
    I have seen a thousand fractures
    I have seen everything
    Cause knowing is its own answer
    Love something in a book
    There's not much left to ponder
    Not much left to cook
    As she counted the spiders
    As they crawled up inside her
    As she counted the spiders
    As they crawled up inside her
    As she counted the spiders
    As they crawled up inside her
    As she counted the spiders
    As they crawled up inside her
    As she counted the spiders
    As they crawled up inside her
    As she counted the spiders, oh
