Lyrics:
took the fireworks and the vanity
the circuit board and the city streets
shooting stars, swaying palm tree
laid it at the arbiter's feet

if I could change my mind, change the paradigm
prepare myself for another life
forgive myself for the many times
I was cruel to something helpless and weak

but here it come
that heavy love
I'm never gonna move it alone

here it come
that heavy love
tag it on a tenement wall
here it come
that heavy love
someone gotta share in the load
here it come
that heavy love
I'm never gonna move it alone

I was dressed in white, touched by something pure
death-obsessed like a teenager
sold my tortured youth
piss 'n' vinegar
I'm still angry with no reason to be

at the architect who imagined this
for the everyman, blessed Sisyphus
slipping steadily in to madness
that's the only place to be free

but here it come
that heavy love
you never gonna move it alone
here it come
that heavy love
tattooed on a criminal's arm
here it come
that heavy love
someone gotta share in the load
oh, here it come
that heavy love
you never gonna move it alone

no, I don't wanna play
it's a shell game
it's a shell game

distorted sounds on oscilloscopes
distorted facts, I could never cope
my private life is an inside joke, no one will explain it to me

we'll be everything that we ever need
everyone, on the count of three
everyone, on the count of three
all together now

but here it come
that heavy love
we're never gonna move it alone
here it come
that heavy love
playing as the cylinder rolls
here it come
that heavy love
I only wanna share in the load
oh, here it come
that heavy love
I'm never gonna move it alone

Breaks my heart that this is the final album.

[JunkBondTrader007]

@vivalajenny00 actually, I read an interview just recently in which all the members made a pact to make at least one more album. They're not done, it may be a few more years until the next release, but it's still good news

[fishfishfish333]

[liveyoungdiefast91]

There's something about a Bright Eyes song that's just so comforting. Just like years ago whenever I was stressed, listening to Four Winds was instantly calming.

I think the lyric is "at the architect who imagined this"
