Transcendental Youth

Cold through broken baseboards.
 I despise this town.
 Snow on the sunroof,
 Two stories down.
 ♪
 Hold hands,
 Wish the snow away.
 
 Rise in the darkness,
 Of the gathering day.
 ♪
 Sing
 Sing for ourselves alone
 Speak into,
 The microphone
 ♪
 Cedar smudge our headbands,
 And take to the skies.
 Soar ever-upwards,
 On air gone black with flies.
 ♪
 Shroud ourselves in the cosmos.
 Let the music play.
 Bright star of the morning,
 Shine on his rising way.
 ♪
 Sing
 In the night
 In the nameless dark
 
 Father long gone,
 But we bear his mark
 
 Learn some secrets,
 Never tell.
 ♪
 Stay sick,
 Don't get well
 ♪
 Clutch those broken headboards.
 Ride the highest wave.
 Dusky diamonds shining in the far depths of the cave.
 ♪
 Try to explain ourselves,
 Babble on and on.
 
 By the time you receive this, we'll be gone.
 ♪
 Sing.
 Sing high.
 While the fire climbs.
 
 Sing one for the old times.
