The Black Angels - Empire

From the album "Passover".


Lyrics:

Oh, the empires calling,
Trying to hear his voice,
While he's preaching to the choir,
And that choir is death and noise.

And he closes up his fist, and he sees if they exist.

Angels with broken wings,
Melodic harmonies she sings.
She brings you white daffodils,
You place them on your windowsill.

Then you open up your fist, and you see if they exist.

Well you sit in dark forests,
You've been there for quite a while.
And when they come to take you,
You just sit and smile.

You say, "Hey, you take this. I'm gonna see if you exist."

Oh it's time to leave here,
And I still have my knife,
And it's pressed up against my body,
Tonights gonna be the night.

And I cut my own wrist, just to see if I exist.

I say:

"Hey, almost fifty thousand, take this.

I'm gonna see if good music listeners still exist."

@MRHappyHappyjoyjoy90 It's 2011 and you're still not taking hallucinogenic drugs to expand your mind? You'd rather just 'trip fucking balls maaan' than realize that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively?

Hey, buy 5 dried grams of mushrooms, and take them by yourself in a clam environment. Just sit there with your eyes closed. It's amazing.
