ballad of a martian
02:12

the martian dances
he dances for me
its his way of declaring
that mercury is free
trapped in happiness
dont let him go
he sways for eternity
the ballad of a martian
theres nowhere for him to go
he stands idle as his planet
is ripped from his heart
the ties that connect him are gone
he has no way of going home
we will wait for him
we will let him in x2
as the ballad of a martian
is our favourite entity
we will wait for him
we will let him in

so many destinations
nobody has explanations
where id like to go
is a downward spiral,
down from here
towering towers over me
i flown away below decay
where defecating isnt desecration
the rats surround me in the sewer
the tunnels communicate in the sewer x2
i love it in the sewer

when i was looking for the window
i couldnt see out
i see trees
i see birds
i see clouds
i was hoping for love in my mind
i was hoping for joy of some kind
its all in my brain
everything ive ever thought is in my brain
i found myself
looking for what i had lost
it was in the depths of my sleep
it was in my sleep
it was in my sleep
as i fall
they all die within my mind
i see nothing
why do i destroy what i had made

windfall..
wind falling down
windfall..
wind falling up
wind is carrying me away
im floating through the fields
wind flowing up
wind crawling down
wind is crawling around
from vertical to horizontal places
from diagonal to rotational places
theres no bounds

flesh made of metal
climbing with his spoons
magnetizing everything
from forks to knives
only the essential cutlery
nothing more
hes not very useful
hes the aluminium man
clocks turn backwards
as he strikes his left arm
his right arm quickly follows through
time is reversing x2
taking us back before
the explosion of planet mars
we hope to see our friend soon
we hope to give him a hug

i was looking for something
something was looking for me
i didnt want it to find me
but it found me
lying by the sea
splashing through the waves
as they drifted me away
there was no one even there
but i felt the hair of a stranger
it was in my imagination
it wasnt even there
im not looking forward to the end of my day
where i try to sleep but i hear a noise
left with dismay
i wonder if its there
i dont want to look
someone tell me
someone protect me
i was looking for someone
someone was looking for me
we held out our hands
felt the embrace by the sea
it was a love from the past
platonically kissing
tears down my face
as we run down by the pier
