Bright Eyes - Firewall lyrics

If there is no such thing
As time, you're already there
And you're controlling this cycle
You say, "Man, look what we found here
Einstein, " or whoever you're talking to
Tesla – whoever
You're talking to problems of
The future can be
Solved by mankind because you create them and
You have to believe in the future, it's
What we have to do we progress
We always progress – we try to

So the Sumerian tablets, they say the
Same thing like Genesis said
That there were chariots
Of fire that came into the sky and
These beings got out of them
And they walked like a man but they
Had reptilian features they
Had snake-like eyes
A tail, and, uh, scales, right? And
They were – they were here
And they made slaves out of the people and
Where they landed in is what the Bible
Calls the Garden of Eden they
Were trying to inbreed with the people
Here the women would die
The babies would abort but after two
Thousand years they started taking
The babies started being
Born and living and they had tails, they
Had a few reptilian features they could phase
Shift from one dimension
To another dimension
And the people who know say it's from the
Fourth dimension – to the next dimension

Space is expanding there are spirit's
Coming from the center
Right? We're going counterclockwise
There's supposed to be eight other universes
Going counterclockwise, and that's
Called Superuniverse, you know? And love's
Always been the message it's
Just – circumstances happen
Right? People freak out, just flat flip out
You
Know? Well, that's where Hitler came from
Hitler came from that
Way he was an outspoken
Charismatic yeller and, and all
These people said, "Hey, we'll use this guy
Hey look at all these people
Listening to this guy" You
Know what I mean? And so that's just what
The trip's like, that you
Know? It still exists, and their
Bloodline goes back – back into
Sumerian times you know, they didn't
Call it reptilian, they didn't call
It that but they did
Because they called him Satan, they
Called him the Devil, and it's the same damn
Trip it's a negative force, coming in on a
Positive force, because it's
A third dimension
Right? And for it to solidify or to
Crystallize, it has to have both elements
Right? And you have to
Keep it in balance, or it
Will, it will, it will
One of them will destroy the other

I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
The classicist, the posturin' avant-garde
I bought a gray macaw, named him Jules Verne
He'll probably outlive me -
He's a bright bird
Keeps me company, I teach him new words

I saw a hologram at the theme park
She looked as real as me
Through the white fog
Then she melted down to her ankles
Turned into a million-watt candle
If I knew where she went, I would follow

Walking through the land of tomorrow
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
In the sunshine, try to act normal
My veins are full of flat cherry cola
Slept on the bench by the rollercoaster

Dreamt I was riding on a motorbike
Lion of Judah, painted on the side

I'm doing fine, I'm back in the Palisades
Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
China shops and cold ivory towers
I and I make toast to the Caesars
Forcing down the dregs of Decembers

Madeline, she spins in a slow bang
All through the house
The strong smell of burnt sage
Let's make it clean and run out the spirit's
I know a diving bell when I hear it
We're going down now under the surface

Light to dark can shift in an instant
Feeling close but keeping my distance
On all fours she's just so insistent
Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
Bust through the firewall into Heaven

And then I'm standing in that blinding light
Crooked crosses falling from the sky

Seen, yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen by I and I
Seen, yeah, seen, yeah, seen, yeah, seen
Yeah seen, yeah, seen by I and I and
