We need a myth[00:00:00]

We need an amethyst bridge[00:00:03]

We need a high hanging cliff[00:00:08]

Jump, fall and lift[00:00:13]

We can make it[00:00:15]

We need a myth[00:00:18]

We need a path[00:00:21]

Through the mist[00:00:23]

Like in our beds[00:00:26]

We were just kids[00:00:27]

Like what was said by our parents[00:00:31]

A myth[00:00:37]

I guess What we're after is just this[00:00:40]

A myth[00:00:46]

I guess What we're after is just this[00:00:50]

We need a myth[00:00:55]

I feel my heart's like a fist[00:00:58]

Words spilling out[00:01:03]

From the blessed lips[00:01:04]

Of any prophet or goddess[00:01:08]

I need a myth[00:01:13]

Brought back to life by a kiss[00:01:17]

Scrape away grey cement[00:01:21]

Show me the world as it was again[00:01:26]

As it was in a myth[00:01:30]

A red ribbon to reconnect[00:01:35]

The lady's head to her neck[00:01:39]

And to forget that her throat[00:01:43]

Was ever slit[00:01:47]

I guess What we're after is just this[00:01:54]

A myth[00:01:59]

I guess What we're after is just this[00:02:02]

Oh and I'm sick[00:02:07]

Of all these picture books that try[00:02:10]

To steal some old reflections for their light[00:02:18]

But desperate measures point to desperate times[00:02:26]

And that's why[00:02:35]

We need a myth[00:02:39]

We're cut adrift[00:02:58]

And we need a mass uplift[00:03:02]

The world is trembling and weeping[00:03:06]

Just at the point of believing[00:03:11]

In a myth[00:03:17]

The sun that shines on my head[00:03:20]

The moon that lights me to bed[00:03:25]

Were two identical twins[00:03:29]

Inside of a myth[00:03:34]

I heard the voice of a friend[00:03:38]

On Lethe's banks[00:03:43]

Wading in[00:03:44]

And he said[00:03:46]

Before I forget[00:03:48]

We need a myth[00:03:53]

As we lean in to kiss[00:03:56]

To get two nails[00:04:01]

Through the wrist[00:04:03]

To get covered in blood[00:04:06]

And to get covered in spit[00:04:09]

And to forgive.[00:04:11]

And if all we're taught is a trick[00:04:15]

Why would this feeling persist?[00:04:19]

And with the truth closing in[00:04:24]

I must insist[00:04:27]

We need a myth.[00:04:30]
