descanso Lyrics

Fire spreads across the coastline

As a grey-red tint is splayed across the sky

The sun doesn't shine on the grids anymore

Or maybe I was right and they never did

As I watched the endless night encroach

I decided I would run away

Just narrowly outrunning the shadow

On the eastbound ten

Ambling up the hill overlooking the valley

I took it all in for what felt like the longest time

All uninterrupted space

I was a kid the first time I saw the lights on the horizon

The world turned nauseous on its axis

But we were all sick of moving in real time

I had another Monica Bellucci dream

And I think I know what it meant this time

When all the venture capitalists are gone

And the opportunists are banished

And the rich are eaten

Will nature reclaim the grid city?

I came back to that hill recently

And it looked like they had built a golf course

And some luxury housing

And there was a Whole Foods on the way

I was a kid the last time I saw the lights on the horizon
