Where Do We Go From Here

Verse 1

So many faces silvered by armor

against the keening Western sun

Cheek to cheek the way aunties at the end of church

polish secrets one by one

Pre-Chorus

What is truly true

fugitive from language

gathers in the night of your elbows

I come knocking fist full of tobacco

Chorus

Moon can't soothe the helicopter blades

beating in my chest

Where do we go from here

when the trees grow inward cannibalistic

Roots under asphalt under rent

Where do we go from here

Verse 2

Burnt and chopped you'll survive

for a thousand thousand years

Emperor who is Empire

just a passing nightmare in the haze

You'll wake with a twitch of your eyebrow

that branch most favored by the squirrels

Pre-Chorus

I do not need to be anyone

Just this hand listening to your darkness

where the labor seethes

to breathe in whatever touches you

Chorus

Moon can't soothe the helicopter blades

beating in my chest

Where do we go from here

when the trees grow inward cannibalistic

Roots under asphalt under rent

Where do we go from here

Bridge

To make grow however long it takes

the acrid pit the euphoric meat

the juice that blesses the table

the bodies left on this planet

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Moon can't soothe the helicopter blades

beating in my chest

Where do we go from here

when the trees grow inward cannibalistic

Roots under asphalt under rent

Where do we go from here

Outro

Just this hand listening

Just this hand listening
