Authentic Pyrrhic Remission

Of Montreal · Paralytic Stalks [2012]

So much violence in my head

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
