Extraordinary Fades
Matthew Good · Lights of Endangered Species [2011]
Lie, and say to me:
"Extraordinary fades"
Not without degree
Hid or sent away
Across a boundless sea
Prison shore's ebb
Where man become machine
Looks death to live again
When I end, carry me
Through the streets of my youth
For something I was will sing
From your mouth of proof
And, Eloise, walk beside me
And with our children step
This prison shore's ebb
And with our children step
This prison shore's ebb
"Extraordinary fades"
Not without degree
Hid or sent away
Across a boundless sea
Prison shore's ebb
Where man become machine
Looks death to live again
When I end, carry me
Through the streets of my youth
For something I was will sing
From your mouth of proof
And, Eloise, walk beside me
And with our children step
This prison shore's ebb
And with our children step
This prison shore's ebb
