Ether - Electric President

While you slept it off

Your empire was lost

Now we’re not your sons

Your old silver tongue

It don’t work too well now

We wandered off

With our heads nice and soft

But we were still numb

And we burned in the sun

And got torn to pieces

I walked across from eyes

And scratched my name into the sky

The things beneath my floorboards fly

I’ll never let them out

And all my teeth are down at my feet

And all of the blood comes in a flood

Start counting sheep

Then I fall asleep again

And by myself I’m wondering

A forest made of skeletons

Of people I once knew

And all their spines are perfectly aligned

Like cold power lines

My feet left the ground

And I floated off and got lost

Now this ain’t my home

There’s no warmth in these bones

Just a mock up to help me pretend I’m sleeping

While we slept it off

All the money was lost

Now we can’t stand up

Yeah, the blood in our guts

It just weighs us down now

We’ll crawl along

Despite what goes wrong

'Cause we’re not that young

Takes more than your guns to scare us off now

My feet left the ground

And I floated off and got lost

Now my house is far below

It’s buried in snow

And I can’t see my footprints anymore;

they’re too small

I drift through the clouds with my heart in my mouth

I’m not stopping

Now the Earth is far behind

I’m lost in the sky with my eyes closed

I’m just waiting for my air to run out
