Artificial Countrysides
Took a bite began to swallow
In your mind, the earth was hollow
Playing mental archery, the arrow sticking in the tree
Ate 'til you were not hungry
Dragged the piles around the country
Never stopped to hesitate, 'til all the world is carved away today
Artificial countrysides that never rot and don't decay
Growing faster all the time, spreading further every day
Distant life inside the bubble, filtered out, run through the funnel
Never solved the mystery, plagued for all eternity
Changed the plan that time devoured
Re-wrote the past, turned off the power
Drained the fading energy, changed from what you wanted it to be
Artificial countrysides displayed inside a murky brain
Growing faster all the time, spreading further every day
A layer of ice grows on the grass while you're asleep
Covers the bird's nests in the branches of the trees
The sun comes reaching down to melt it all away
Uncovered memories coming back from yesterday
Exonerated in the trial
Putting out the endless fires
Smoke is filling the hallway
Flames recede and leave, the charred remains
Artificial countrysides that never rot and don't decay
Growing faster all the time, spreading further every day
In your mind, the earth was hollow
Playing mental archery, the arrow sticking in the tree
Ate 'til you were not hungry
Dragged the piles around the country
Never stopped to hesitate, 'til all the world is carved away today
Artificial countrysides that never rot and don't decay
Growing faster all the time, spreading further every day
Distant life inside the bubble, filtered out, run through the funnel
Never solved the mystery, plagued for all eternity
Changed the plan that time devoured
Re-wrote the past, turned off the power
Drained the fading energy, changed from what you wanted it to be
Artificial countrysides displayed inside a murky brain
Growing faster all the time, spreading further every day
A layer of ice grows on the grass while you're asleep
Covers the bird's nests in the branches of the trees
The sun comes reaching down to melt it all away
Uncovered memories coming back from yesterday
Exonerated in the trial
Putting out the endless fires
Smoke is filling the hallway
Flames recede and leave, the charred remains
Artificial countrysides that never rot and don't decay
Growing faster all the time, spreading further every day
