Is Your Life Electric

from NO END by That Dream Was Our Life

/

about

Wrote this while watching Mare of Easttown, which I absolutely loathed

lyrics

Love thrashes in the net
Until it's suffocated
Best to let the magic go
Until it's drained and desiccated

Hold a hand over a flame
Like a joke that lost its humor
As if time could break the spell
I'm laughing at the future

Failure loops like a movie
Shadowless in carbon arc
The projectionist slumped over
Knows all the cues by heart

Cut every fume of fancy
With acetate & alcohol
When the scenes are all assembled
It's a tribute just as false

Is your life electric
Is it alchemy or art
Is it a universe of silent waves, black holes, & ancient sparks

It all matters till it doesn't
Nothing matters till it does
The past is prelude & contrition
Throw it in the well for us

Fantasies die in the hollow
Desires remanded to their cells
Celebration for the devils
Proud of their little hells
