I Believe In Symmetry - (with Nick Zinner)
Bright Eyes

Some plans were made and rice was thrown

A house was built, a baby born

How time can move both fast and slow amazes me

So I raise my glass to symmetry

To the second hand and its accuracy

To the actual size of everything

The desert is the sand

You can't hold it in your hand

It won't bow to your demand

There's no difference you can make, there's no difference you can make

And if it seems like an accident

A collage of senselessness

Then you weren't looking hard enough

I wasn't looking hard enough at it

An argument for consciousness

The instinct of the blind insect

Who makes love to the flower bed, and dies in the first freeze

Oh, I want to learn such simple things

No politics, no history, till what I want and what I need can finally be the same

I just got myself to blame

Leave everything up to fate

When there's choices I could make, when there's choices I could make

And now my heart needs a polygraph, always so eager to pack my bags

When I really want to stay, when I really want to stay

When I want to stay, when I want to stay

I don't want to stay, I don't want to stay

The arc of time, the stench of sex

The innocence you can't protect

Each quarter step, each marble note

Walk up and down that lonely trebel cleft

Each wanting the next one

Each wanting the next one to arrive

Each wanting the next one

Each wanting the next one to arrive

Argument for conciousness, the instinct of the blind insect

Who never thinks not to accept its fate, that's faith, that's happiness in death

You give to the next one

you give to the next on down the line

You give to the next one

You give to the next on down the line

The levity of longing that distills each dream inside my head

My morning watered down forget

On silver stars I wish and wish and wish

Move on to the next one

Move on to the next one down the line

Move on to the next one

Move on to the next one down the line

You get to the next one

You get to the next on down the line

You get to the next one

You get to the next on down the line
