Authentic Pyrrhic Remission
Of Montreal · Paralytic Stalks [2012]
How are we still alive?
Intermission is under control
(No it's not, don't you ever stop lying, damn)
I love how we're learning from each other
You are such a positive
You're so empowering
In your hands I'm quite simply
A different instrument
And you're the only one who ever put money on me
You think that I forget so easily
You emit a charge
I know we're of the same tribe
The fall's our most productive season
Still a crippling fear of __
Caesar and we're slightly
Actually I want to help you invoke
The architect
