lyrics

Spineless in the grass in the green technicolor
The shadows of our principles our peers and our mothers
A broken solar panel leans against a rusted pole
And Highland’s outdoor playing field felt as big as the world

Now it’s all ash, peppered with black rubber
Remnants of authorities our coaches and mothers

It’s a nuclear horizon

A harrowing subject captured on a black and white photo
A nuclear horizon in the skyline of Dakota
From Minneapolis to Exton, Pennsylvania
Swallowed by the cancer in a zero-sum equation

Technicolor grass that silhouetted our fingers
Still belongs to our preachers and our parents and teachers

It’s a nuclear horizon

October’s amber skies
Clouds of expanding dust
Nature’s compromise for having to many of us
It’s a nuclear horizon and the world is spinning out of control

I saw a window
I saw a street sign
I saw the neofascists do the pantomime
And the more I think about it, the less and less it makes sense

Jesus
His laser sunbeam
Shot a nuclear missile from the regime
And the more I think about it, the less and less it makes sense
