FIREBEARS

(Lyrics by Patrick McGowan and Dan McGowan)





Someone left the door unlocked

Now all the wolves are getting in, getting in

Someone left the window open

All the vultures are circling, circling



Better to wake the dead

Than to stir the living

A new day

I will see all this pass into a new day



We recommend never more than once

So as to preserve memory

Never more than once

So as to appear ordinary

So as to instill calm

We recommend a mask-like appearance



I hear the scavengers

Or was I dashed upon the rocks

It all went blue, it all went blue



If you can’t sleep at night, we recommend that you turn on the television

There’s a man outside, he calls himself the Witchfinder General

He can put you to sleep with his sleight of hand

Sleight of hand, sleight of hand

He speaks to us like no other

And the walls come crashing, the walls come crashing down

But I will not go with fear in my heart

Despite the constant whimpering

In these days of broken men



And in between the familiar sounds

Resides the glowing electric womb

We could not get away

And when we woke up

All was still and strangely awake



I hear the scavengers

Or was I dashed upon the rocks

It all went blue



We have found you to be obsolete

We have done away with childish things

You must remember

We have given up

And so will you

We have done away with childish things



We have found you

Obsolete

Insignificant

We have done away with childish things



I watched as you spun your web

You spoke with grace and bitterness

That was what gave you away

I watched as you spun your web

I could not get you

Your impression out of my eyes

I watched as you spun your web

I could not taste the bitterness

And though you go on and on

I hear the world tell me you’re just a voice inside my head



But we

We will not go away

We will not be afraid

We will not go away

Though you recommend

That we go back to sleep

We’ll wait for you to pass away

I think I’ll lay here awhile

And listen to the voice inside my head



But in between the hypnotic sounds

We escaped the infected womb

We thought we found a way

But when we woke up

They had given the enemy a new face



I see a light off in the distance

But I will find you with or without it.
