Write the song you need to hear
When you've done it, tell me how
Where I walked the day Amelia died
Is where you'll find me now
I dreamt of gutting billionaires
But when I woke the blood was gone
For a flash I'd seen the hope I peddled
In The White Beyond
So write the song you need to hear
Write it on the palm of your hand
When the world is drowned in flames
Write something you can understand
Go small, go small, go small, go small
'Cause when you try to see it all you'll see
The earth is radiantly suicidal
The earth is radiantly suicidal
So if there's any play in favor of survival
It's go small
Gonna build the room I need to live in
Gonna plant a garden in my head
And paint the rites of Lupercalia
In the spot above my bed
Write the song I need to hear
Even if it amputates the sky
Even if it's gone a second later
It'll be okay 'cause I
Go small, go small, go small, go small
'Cause when you try to see it all you'll see
The earth is radiantly suicidal
Yeah, the earth is radiantly suicidal
And I have seen the cycle
Walked a thousand miles
Traced along the spiral
Global to the tribal
I have checked the vitals
Virus to the viral
All for no arrival
Nor can I connive
The death of Forty-Five
To free the border child
And grow the forest wild
And all along the while
I lay aside the lie
That there's a mighty idol
Somewhere in the primal
Bid to find a rival
This is my denial
Breaking of the vial
Laying down the rifle
Taking in the quiet I'll
Whisper to remind you
The earth is radiantly suicidal
Yeah, the earth is radiantly suicidal
And if there's any play in favor of survival
Well if there's any play in favor of survival
It's go small
It's go small
