We need a myth |
|
We need an amethyst bridge |
|
We need a high hanging cliff |
|
Jump, fall and lift |
|
We can make it |
|
But we need a myth |
|
We need a path through the mist |
|
Like in our beds, we were just kids |
|
Like what was said by our parents |
|
A myth'Cause what we're after is just this |
|
A myth'Cause what we're after is just this |
|
We need a myth |
|
I feel my heart's like a fist |
|
Words spilling out of the blessed lips |
|
Of any prophet or goddess |
|
I need a myth |
|
Brought back to life by a kiss |
|
Scrape away grey cement |
|
Show me the world as it was again |
|
As it was in a myth |
|
A red ribbon to reconnect |
|
The lady's head to her neck |
|
And to forget that her throat was ever slit' |
|
Cause what we're after is just this |
|
It's a myth' |
|
Cause what we're after is just this |
|
And I'm sick of all these picture books that try |
|
To steal some old reflections for their light |
|
But desperate measures point to desperate times |
|
And that's why |
|
We need a myth |
|
We're cut adrift |
|
We need a mass uplift |
|
The world is trembling and weeping |
|
Just at the point of believing |
|
In a mythThe sun that shines on my head |
|
The moon that lights me to bed |
|
Were two identical twins |
|
Inside of a myth |
|
I heard the voice of a friend |
|
On Lethe's banks, wading in |
|
And he said, ["Before I forget..."] |
|
We need a myth |
|
As we lean in to kiss |
|
To get two nails through the wrist |
|
To get covered in blood |
|
And to get covered in spit |
|
And to forgive |
|
And if all we're taught is a trick |
|
Why would this feeling persist? |
|
And with the truth closing in |
|
I must insist |
|
We need a myth |
