Drifter’s Rebirth Lyrics by Mildred (USA)

Pt. Of Things to Come

2024

[Verse 1]
The cellar door opens to reveal the fetid hovel
Then he descends into the darkness
The man on the mattress pulls back greasy black hair
To reveal weary needle point eyes
He is expressionless, apart from a brief wince at the sunlight
He's adrift somewhere lost at sea probably
The black oxfords tap tap tap on the concrete
Wrappers, filthy napkins, he smiles looking down at me
He says some bullshit about the sun and suffocating sleep
Extending his hand
"In a way I'm God", he said
But not really because anyone can be God
No one can handle the responsibility apparently
We can live in the endless embrace of an eternal sky
Why would I want that?
Because you don't want anything
And I impossibly will nothing, as I laugh at his rabbit ears
[Bridge]
Imagine pulling off your fingernails
And rearranging them or binding them together
As a little yellow basket
See every sigil arranged like little dominos
And all I had to do was topple them
Suddenly the room was empty, but I had purpose now
Something defined, we could live in the endless sunshine
[Verse 2]
Life and death, an illusion
All meaning neutral and limitless
I race between beginning and find
How we can live in an endless daydream
I snuff out conclusion
I am flying high above these streets
I can see now as the earth crumbles
Life is but a fever dream
The words burn upon my tongue
And they are shards of glass, stained glass, writhing in my brain
And I can smell my own temptation in you
Who I will find to be my sister in conquest
And I can see the ocean for how it swallowed the trees
Reflecting what we will be
Oh, I can see the ocean for how it swallowed the trees
Laughing as grains of stolen sand return from my hands
