What happened here?
The butterfly has lost its wings
The air's too thick to breathe
And there's something in the drinking water.
The sun comes up
The sun comes up and you're alone
Your sense of purpose come undone
The traffic tails back to the maze on 101
And the news from the sky
Is looking better for today
In every single way
But not for you
World citizen
World citizen
It's not safe
All the yellow birds are sleeping
Cos the air's not fit for breathing
It's not safe
Why can't we be
Without beginning, without end?
Why can't we be?
World citizen
World citizen
And talk with you awhile
I'm overwhelmed by the scale
Of everything you feel
The lonely inner state emergency
I saw a face
It was a face I didn't know
Her sadness told me everything about my own
Can't let it be
When least expected there she is
And I'm not safe
I think I need a second skin
No, I'm not safe
World citizen
World citizen
I want to travel by night
Across the steppes and over seas
I want to understand the cost
Of everything that's lost
I want to pronounce all their names correctly
World citizen
World citizen
I won't be disappointed
I won't be.

What happened here?
The butterfly has lost its wings
The air’s too thick to breathe
And there’s something in the drinking water.

There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons ，
Of Cathedral Tunes ，
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us ，
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,

And if you think you knew me then
You don’t know me now
As the ground rose up to meet me
I kissed your mouth
You wore your boredom like an armor
But I...
Welcome to Sun State
The language of light
The energy's impulse
The loud, dark, iron
The purpose of history
The Eurasian Steppes
From threshold to thr...
If a messenger you must be known
Then with messages you must return
To be seen by demanding hands
And touches of jealous men
Invisible and forgivable

I'm waiting on the empty docks
Watching the ships come in
Oh, let the happiness in
I'm watching as the gulls all settle down
Upon the empty vessels
...
The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or the beat...
