Lyrics
I dreamt I was a clock store ticking, running outta time
I dreamt I got to star in the play but I (faltered) every line
I Dreamt I was a house of smoke, aching just to burn
I dreamt it was noon on the playground, and no one took their turn

Too busy to learn, too busy to listen, too busy to see
Had all that you want laid at your feed, but nothing’s for free
Too busy to care, too busy to matter, too busy to mind
The jackboots coming right down lockstep devil heel in time

Please wake up. Please. We’ve forgotten who we are. We’ve forgotten who we are.

I know exactly who I am

I dreamt that it was black cloud stormy when it’s blue clear right outside
I dreamt of all the flat expanse and nowhere left to hide
I dreamt I was a little grey ghost that wanted to be seen (hello)
I dreamt I was stockpiling weapons for untold enemies

Too busy to learn, too busy to listen, too busy to see
Had all that you want laid at your feed, but nothing’s for free
Too busy to care, too busy to matter, too busy to mind
The jackboots coming right down lockstep devil heel in time

The jackboots are coming. The jackboots are coming.
For you and me.

The jackboots are coming. The jackboots are coming.
For you and me.

The jackboots are coming. The jackboots are coming.
For you and me.

DAEMON: Dreamt you were an apple with a rotting moldy lil core
Dreamt you were a locksmith couldn’t open any doors
Dreamt you were a star that burst and singed the earth below
Dreamt of newfound monsters no one should have to know

LITTLE GIRL: Such cruel and busted shells
Our hearts these broken-down machines
We can no longer buy every word they sell
And bury every word we mean
