Giant Giant (Destruction Story)

From Noah's Ark to Ragnarok
Svalbard to atlantis
There has always been a part of us
That sleeps right through the rampage

But I have seen satan hiding behind the moon
I have seen the giant sleeping inside of you
Stay up 'til we're bloodshot just watching TV
Waiting for the sky to bite back down on you and me
Parade around, parade around
We are so brave, we are so proud
If we wake up scared tomorrow
We will let this house burn down, down, down

That was us, the wasted kids
The railway bridge above, singing
Blessed is the sedative, forever in my blood
It says, Myles, the light is wherever you find it
Myles, it makes no fucking difference
I am the only god you've got left now
So beg for my forgiveness

There will be no more wildest dreams
There will be no more secret wishes
When you finally see the glory
That will be revealed within us
I bear offerings in blood and sick
In all my sacred nakedness
I will show you famous places on
The bodies we are escaping from

'Cause I do this thing when I get scared
I clench my teeth, empty my lungs of air
I don't blame you, it's not your fault
We're just waiting for the lightning bolt

I want to burn your silhouette into the ground around my feet
And let that savage incandescence carve its own way into me
I know that you get beaten up by ghosts in your sleep
You wake up without bruises and climb to your feet
I don't know for you how hard it is
We're all proud of you regardless
Sink or swim, mess it up
Or fuck it all and cut and run
Cut and run

I have these magic spells for my mental health
They only show me brittle bits of truth
And it's somehow still a lonely ritual
If you want to lick the common wound

It's easy to invent (I do this thing)
It's easy to forget (When I get scared)
Reasons it's fucked up (I clench my teeth)
Reasons it's perfect (Empty my lungs of air, I do this thing)
You had your heart set (When I get scared)
On kicking the doors down (I clench my teeth)
How quickly can I get (Empty my lungs of air)
Over to your house

I want to embody uncomplicated goodness
The kind you only find in gods and strangers
But all our past is part of us
Even the pieces we're ashamed of

And it's hard enough (I do this thing)
Loving anyone (When I get scared)
You never came out (I clench my teeth)
Totally blameless (Empty my lungs of air)
And all our past (I do this thing)
Is part of us (When I get scared)
Even the pieces that (I clench my teeth)
We're all ashamed of (Empty my lungs of air, yeah, yeah)
