lyrics

so here's to the coast
that's been harboring the ghost
of my golden days

so here's to the valley
where I was born
and where I died at the same time

and you will fly as a lark
on wings of corroding neurons
and I will follow you into the dark
like a canary given purpose

so here's to the moments
in greater time that will be forgotten
here's to the moments
in dying minds that will be remembered

so here's to the destruction
of our constructed notions of the past
they are so ideal
but quite misleading (or so I've been told)
