lyrics

you were alive
a body
a pulse
a strong signal

electric
even your tongue lay still
and your voice was silent
but a current moved through you

you were still as still water
and your thoughts contained
by the banks
of a physically deteriorating physicality

…oh
(how could we know)
(how could we know)


you were a network
of dropped lines
quietly dropping
into the night

quietly dropping
(they were quietly dropping
(how could we know)
(how could we know)

while we were sleeping
while we were sleeping
your body retracted
with all its might

(how could we know)
(how could we know)
(how could we know)
what we couldn’t see
and we couldn’t hear
and we couldn’t see
oh, we couldn’t hear

there’s all these numbers…
they don’t correspond to anything
they’re just binaries
they’re nothing concrete

they were nothing like us
they were nothing like us
they were just particles scattered and
we all just get lost in
them

(oh, how could we know)
(how could we know)
(how could we know)

you were shutting down
your body retracting



and I want to feel a current move through me
like all those fluids moved through you
and I want to know
when it’s falling down, but…
how could we know
what we could not see / what we could not hear / that everything was falling apart

but I always here
(quietly dropping)
but I always here
(watching you fall away )
(watching you fall away --------------------------------------- ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )

(one line at a time)

and

you were a network
of dropping lines
I was the cold ground
you saw passing by
