Imperfect Lifetimes Lyrics

I could see us from a million angles

You're so beautiful, you're like a biblical angel

The way that you've got so many eyes on you

Another imperfect lifetime

I'd waste them all to stay with you

Where we could erode the shoreline

Towards a point of view

Where we aren't screwed

The world is falling all over me

Disaster strikes, we'll wait and see

One-way trips to Ganymede

One kiss, and my mouth bleeds

I can think of the words that I need to say

But when they move to the mouth from the brain they fade

I can think of the things that I need you to hear

But when they move from my lips to your ears,

I'm overcome and fear

Some other tangential worldline

Without you here - I'd stage a coup

Against a world that wastes our

Time; to keeps us from the joys we knew

Sharp pains, light heads, and pyrosis

What could I want, more than this?

Six legs, two hearts, one animal

Six words with my mouth full

There are times where I know what to say

There are times where I don't have a brain

Do you like how I'm public domain?

Or is it just my naïveté?

Remember me as I am right now -

This bleeding heart, beating out this new sound

'Cause when I'm old, I just might come unwound

When I kill God, I'd maybe just allow

Another imperfect lifetime

For every day, I'd love anew

So won't you mind the confines

Of this, a dying mind that still needs you?

I can think of the words that I need to say

But when they move to the mouth from the brain they fade

I can think of the things that I need you to hear

But when they move from my lips to your ears,

I'm overcome with fear
