Evan Chambers - Halogen Sun Lyrics
A spindly man has some crooked legsHe's slaving down in the store belowHe don't understand machines he sellsNo one's going to wait when he moves too slowHe makes small talk for far too longTo reminisce of another timeOf trees taller than what we builtWhen anyone could escape the manmade skyNothing grows here anymoreBut we're closer to that halogen sunWe built that sky didn't we? Don't say we lost a thingSmoke rises from the ground we squandered,And the breath we conqueredMeet the boy with some crooked teethYou can't tell the color his eyes areThe old man tried to talk to himBut from his machine he don't waver farHe eats a pill for every flawHis room is made from cinderblocksHis friends live only on the screenHe don't look up when he talksNothing grows here anymoreBut we're closer to that halogen sunWe built that sky didn't we? Don't say we lost a thingSmoke rises from the ground we squandered,And the breath we conqueredEach pixel of the manmade skyIs packed with pulsing satellitesTo distract out plasma heartsFrom how we live and dieThe only sin is to stand too stillI want to feel faster than beforeMy crowded reality don't careIf I don't grow anymoreWe don't know the ground we're fromNothing grows here anymoreBut we're closer to that halogen sunWe built that sky didn't we? Don't say we lost a thingSmoke rises from the ground we squandered,And the breath we conquered
