lyrics

Searching in the Dark
Goodbye theologians with your flightless flock of owls
And all your faithful fractures in your deep dogmatic bowels
I used to talk so much like you: with conviction.
But now my voice keeps choking up with hesitation
It seems my stomachs growing sour
With the words that I was forced to re-devour.

Lately I’ve been worshipping Nietzsche’s Anti-Christ,
I’ve been hanging onto every word of his advice.
But now I’m hanging on the edge of a cliff side
Too scared to cut the cord I tied to God.
And as I’m dangling in the air
I’m just waiting till the rope begins to tear.

I met Daniel Johnston once when he was in Chicago,
And I got to shake his hand before he played the show.
And then I watched him as he sat down at the bar,
Next to an open seat that was shining like a star.
Oh but no, I left it vacant
It was never meant for me, or anyone else.

I’ve been searching for something in the dark,
in a strange room,
Not knowing what I’m looking for,
till I find it,
Or if I’ll even recognize it,
If it passed beneath my hand,
Would I realize it?
