My name is fate
My name is neverending
Time and again
My word is wrong
My narratives are always bending
I crawl through space
Shaky, on my final breath
Time and again
With knives and chains
A trillion angels leave me for dead
Oh, cry of faith
My spirit overextending
Time and again
My body breaks
But i am always mending
My nights run long
My winged gaze surrounding
Time and again
I roll this stone
In figure-eights up mountains
But all of my miracles
They dissolve, they drain away
Without you, any day
Without you, babe
My name is fate
I plot my course unblinking
Time and again
My plans are grandiose
Though my means are shy and shrinking
My stars are crossed
My hearts are ever pounding
Time and again
I roll this stone
In figure-eights up mountains
And all of my miracles
They dissolve, they drain away
Without you, any day without you
Without you, without you, babe
So what I cast them off again!
So what I cast them off again!
I turn to earth and I descend
So what I cast them off again
The universe is dark before this day is through
I spin in place this day, this day repeats you
Inside my house I'm comatose, I'm vanishing, I'm see-through
Tomorrow is sleeping!
The future unconscious
Battered, bleeding, barely breathing, beneath you
I keep up morale but I just feel fatigue
Angels tell another joke but, man, I haven't laughed in, like, a century
No more nostalgia! No more love-letters!
No looking inwards! There's nothing to see!
But terrible daydreams of featureless deities
Reaching their arms out and clawing at me
Angels are bureaucrats, rent-seekers, parasites!
Heaven is an endless tower of middle-men with glassy eyes!
Hopeless incompetents, mild-mannered manager types
All stumbling, drowning, convalescing in eternal light!
So what I cast them off again!
So what I cast them off again!
I turn to earth and I descend!
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you, any day
Without you
Without you
Without you
Babe
