All of Everything, Erased

[00:01.77] This is the window where
[00:03.51] I watched the future start
[00:05.38] My pupils dilated
[00:08.05] The shock sped up my arms
[00:10.71] I shut my ambushed eyes
[00:13.43] And turned my face towards the heat
[00:19.71] I felt the city choke
[00:22.47] I heard the world at war
[00:25.19] I prayed for providence
[00:26.99] God said, 'don't pray no more
[00:29.69] You went and made your mess
[00:32.42] Now keep your blame off my feet'
[00:34.23] So i got off my knees
[00:41.48] I faced the devil's day
[00:44.15] The sky was murder red
[00:45.94] The streets were headstone gray
[00:48.60] A flaming ferris wheel
[00:51.39] Spun where the sun used to be
[00:54.02] I watched its buckets dip and dance
[00:57.68] I saw a couple making love lock hands
[01:02.15] They were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring
[01:06.62] 90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything
[01:51.81] I saw my lover chased
[01:53.62] Through fields of sugarcane
[01:55.49] She clutched her belly close
[01:58.17] And whispered, "keep us safe"
[02:00.85] They ground her down to dust
[02:03.54] No more miracles today
[02:09.91] I dreamt myself awake
[02:12.65] In a resort hotel
[02:15.30] Above a golden coast
[02:17.18] Beside my Southern belle
[02:19.86] We heard the sea reborn
[02:22.58] In each singing shell
[02:28.84] And every coughing car
[02:31.58] And every coiled snake
[02:34.22] And every shrieking star
[02:36.05] And every burning stake
[02:38.76] Dissolved to atmosphere
[02:40.51] All of everything, erased
[02:44.15] I spread into a distant hum
[02:47.75] I droned along with everyone
[02:52.23] And the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be
[02:56.78] All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory
[03:06.64] And oh!, what a joy,
[03:10.29] To be free.
