The Apocalypse Song - St. Vincent

Wait

I’ll be swifter

Than the speed of light

Carbon all my body

A billion years of time

You wake

With the stitches

Over both your eyes

And deny me, my body

And all earthly delights

It’s time

You are light

I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of Time and light

I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of All of your praying

Amount to just one breath

Please keep your victory

But give me little death

It’s time

You are light

I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of Time and light

I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of It’s time

You are light

I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of Time and light

I guess you are afraid of What everyone is made of What everyone is made of So take to the streets

With apocalypse refrain

Your devotion has the look of A lunatic’s gaze
