lyrics

Machines in the Garden

Pretend you and I are flowing across
all these stones in this bed
will not labor us.

The current that we are
is destined for the farthest star
and the course that we set
is our favorite.

Please believe everything
that you want.
Save your dreams
all your hopes are not lost

Even though we’re all watched over
by machines that were built to love us
on the other side of all this clutter
is a place we can live together

I will admit I was the first to get upset
When the circuits filled these woods
and took over us
but we will escape
and pour our thoughts into this lake
and come down from the State
without nervousness.
