July Lyrics

Out at the edge of where our souls are meant to see

A million pricks of light, hot shrapnel and debris

I saw a sign, it was written on the void

Way past the pain and asteroids

Smile for the camera, everybody hit your mark

A happy family, united in the dark

It's all perspective, play the angles, you can tell

Wonder if they can see this down in hell

New stars get born as old ones die

In clouds of dust ten light years high

Try all you might, but you can't keep us from the sky

All hail a lavender July

You can fight to force us into flesh and bone

But we are ancient and we've got gravity of our own

The blank of being fills up fast with ice and gas and stone

But on a clear day we can see we're not alone

In a fog of radiation and decay

Few left as my outer layers blow away

Won battles just to be here, but we all lose in the war

I have seen this all before

New stars get born as old ones die

In clouds of dust ten light years high

Try all you might, but you can't keep us from the sky

All hail a lavender July
