LIKE THE UNIVERSE DUDE

lyrics

Well here is one that you'd never believe
All these bodies and lights are made out of you and me

Despite our bloodied mouths -
And victory shouts
Our "Holy How,"s and "This is where, now!"s
The only question in "being" is human, see?

So here is someone that you might never meet
A reincarnation of a love you lost
And all those youthfull dreams - have been locked with

Fallen honors - and "We believe," Flowers
"This cause is ours!" They'll shout from the towers
Fill out their charts and ready to leave

Well here is the question - "If the earth all up and left us,
Would you follow the map that was buried deep - impressioned?
By the ones who got up and were willing to leave?"

Well "Hear God; lose me,"
I was buried again by premarital sin
lost off in the deep

And old friends? Come again?
Lookin to start up the talks, lookin deep in your thoughts
Well here it begins...

So here is the thought that I never thought I could think
If I lost sight of the lost - burnt my ego and walked
Through all these dreadful dreams I'd wake with...

Heaven's own edit of "So you wanna be alive again?"
Rivets from God? Who knows we might just find a use for it.
An orphaned disguise. "Guess we'd better make the best of it, shouldn't we - friend?"

If we're gonna survive we'd better get ourselves a moving and
fall to my side don't let your hand fall off don't loosen it
Everyone dies but here's a challenge gotta rise - don't escalate

and

Moonlight take me, wrap me up in the night
hope I'm breathing alive. Hearts hopping a beat
and
Dear God, lose me - I was burning within
Barely barren with sin
Feel divided, defeat.

With "Fallen honors - and "We believe," Flowers
"This cause is ours!" They'll shout from the towers
Fill out their charts and ready to leave"

Well here is one that You'd never believe..
All of these bodies and lights are made for you and me!
Despite our bloodied mouths and victory shouts
and "Holy How"s and "This Is Where now!"s

the only question in "Being" is
