lyrics

My name is fate
My name is neverending
Time and again
My word is wrong
My narratives are always bending

I crawl through space
Shaky, on my final breath
Time and again
With knives and chains
A trillion angels leave me for dead

Oh, cry of faith
My spirit overextending
Time and again
My body breaks
But i am always mending

My nights run long
My winged gaze surrounding
Time and again
I roll this stone
In figure-eights up mountains

But all of my miracles
They dissolve, they drain away
Without you, any day
Without you, babe

My name is fate
I plot my course unblinking
Time and again
My plans are grandiose
Though my means are shy and shrinking

My stars are crossed
My hearts are ever pounding
Time and again
I roll this stone
In figure-eights up mountains

And all of my miracles
They dissolve, they drain away
Without you, any day without you,
Without you, without you, babe

So what I cast them off again!
So what I cast them off again!
I turn to earth and I descend
so what I cast them off again

The universe is dark before this day is through
I spin in place this day, this day repeats you
Inside my house I'm comatose, I'm vanishing, I'm see-through
Tomorrow is sleeping!
The future unconscious,
Battered, bleeding, barely breathing, beneath you

I keep up morale but I just feel fatigue
Angels tell another joke but, man, I haven't laughed in, like, a century
No more nostalgia! No more love-letters!
No looking inwards! There's nothing to see!
But terrible daydreams of featureless deities
Reaching their arms out and clawing at me

Angels are bureaucrats, rent-seekers, parasites!
Heaven is an endless tower of middle-men with glassy eyes!
Hopeless incompetents, mild-mannered manager types,
All stumbling, drowning, convalescing in eternal light!

So what I cast them off again!
So what I cast them off again!
I turn to earth and I descend
so what I cast them off again

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you, any day
Without you
Without you
Without you
Babe
