ME REX - Giant Giant (Destruction Story) Lyrics

From Noah's ark to Ragnarok
Svalbard to atlantis
There has always been a part of us that sleeps right through the rampage

But I have seen satan hiding behind the moon
I have seen the giant sleeping inside of you
Stay up 'til we're bloodshot just watching TV
Waiting for the sky to bite back down on you and me
Parade around, parade around
We are so brave, we are so proud
If we wake up scared tomorrow we will let this house burn down, down, down

That was us, the wasted kids
The railway bridge above
Singing
blessed is the sedative, forever in my blood
It says
Myles the light is wherever you find it
Myles it makes no fucking difference
I am the only god you've got left now
So beg for my forgiveness

There will be no more wildest dreams
There will be no more secret wishes
When you finally see the glory that will be revealed within us
I bear offerings in blood and sick
In all my sacred nakedness
I will show you famous places on
The bodies we are escaping from

Cause I do this thing when I get scared
I clench my teeth, empty my lungs of air
I don't blame you, it's not your fault
We're just waiting for the lightning bolt

I want to burn your silhouette into the ground around my feet
And let that savage incandescence carve its own way into me
I know that you get beaten up by ghosts in your sleep
You wake up without bruises and climb to your feet
I don't know for you how hard it is, we're all proud of you regardless
Sink or swim, mess it up or fuck it all and cut and run
Cut and run

I have these magic spells for my mental health
They only show me brittle bits of truth
And it's somehow still a lonely ritual
If you want to lick the common wound

It's easy to invent
I do this thing
It's easy to forget
when I get scared
Reasons it's fucked up
I clench my teeth
Reasons it's perfect
Empty my lungs of air
I do this thing
You had your heart set
When I get scared
On kicking the doors down
I clench my teeth
How quickly can I get
Empty my lungs of air
Over to your house

I want to embody uncomplicated goodness
The kind you only find in gods and strangers
But all our past is part of us
Even the pieces we're ashamed of

And it's hard enough
I do this thing
Loving anyone
When I get scared
You never came out
I clench my teeth
Totally blameless
Empty my lungs of air
And all our past
I do this thing
Is part of us
When I get scared
Even the pieces that
I clench my teeth
We're all ashamed of
Empty my lungs of air
