Lyrics
Mirrors missing
No more sense-making things
Anonymity
No one needs to be seen
Flashlight batteries
Become currency
Pigeons teem
No time to mourn
Our final days
Might not happen
this way
Might not happen
This way
Tomorrow’s not today
It’s a few steps away
Just a few steps away
Fences Horse-High
Sage farmer’s advice
Lots of big, gray sky
Big, gray sky
Humans on all fours
Cars missing their doors
No one keeping score
Keeping score
Keeping score
Friends and family
Are mere memories
Sunsets queer
In their new-penny glow
Our final days
Might not happen this way
Might not happen
This way
Tomorrow’s not today
It’s a few steps away
Just a few steps away
Our final days
Might not happen this way
Might not happen
This way
This way
This way
This way
This way
This way
