Collections

lyrics

I keep collections, darling
I'm scared to die.
One day we'll all blink out and
I don't know why
We'll leave the things we wanted
Arranged around our gone
Some of it mattered but the
Reason moved on.

Museums make forever
Seem like a fact,
Encyclopedias for keeping track
See, this was once the way we thought about this life:
Keep passing down the present, this present night
And we say
We die.

And we say
We die.

If i write something down, you read it when I'm gone:
My present moment, darling, has carried on.
One day the sun will swell and nothing will escape
Except some signal traveling
Through distant space, and we say
We die.
And we say
We die.
