lyrics

A few weeks ago, more than 1 million Hawaiians received a phone alert saying a ballistic missile was inbound. These sensible American adults did not respond to the popup by scratching their heads en masse and wondering if someone hacked the system. They called their parents to say they loved them, and they removed manhole covers and told their children to climb in, don’t be afraid.

a billion stars in the arctic night
the supernova was an oversight
the snow reflects like shards of glass
and back to the stars
are we even here? are we even here?
are we even here? are we even here?

the snow cracks beneath my boots
muffled under dread moon
no one really lives around here
find per diem get out of here
are we even here? are even here?
are we even here? are even here?

the rules they make no sense at all
the years repeat and after all
i don’t know anything
i don’t know anything
are we even here? are we even here?
are we even here? are we even here?

i found a fire
inside the byzantine building
that was where he sold his art
on any other day i would feel ok
are we even here? are we even here?
are we even here? are we even here?
i’m obsessed with time.
