Antidote for the Ascent of Humanity Lyrics by The Mommyheads

Soundtrack to the World’s End

2018

I somehow lost the sea of faith
And so I tried to conquer the place
The wood, the stone, the great outside
My body and my wild mind
The better I became at this
The farther I got from my bliss
The holes I had, I had to fill
Addicted to my poison swill
The antidote
Is in the cold of the night
Is in the sap of a pine
Is in a grandmother's eye
The antidote
To get that stuff and stay in control
I built a fort around my soul
It had to grow to keep back the threat
Of my own heart and service the debt
Now I'm so big, I do as I please
I own the place, am the police
To fuel it all, I lit a fire
The temperature is getting higher
The antidote
Is in a rock in the road
Is in a bump on a toad
Is in a song in a throat
The antidote, the remedy
Is in the stars in a tree
Is in the purr of a bee
Is in the itch on a knee
The antidote
I'm so high up I can't feel the pain
The information stops my brain
The one most scared's the one on top
I'll kill the world to keep what I've got
The antidote
Is in the stain of the rust
Is in the smell of the must
Is in the swim of the dust
The antidote, the safety zone
Is in the space in a box
Is in the old pair of sox
Is in the prints of a fox
Yeah, the antidote, the GPS
Is in the beat of the blood
Is in the gleam of the suds
Is in the feet in the mud
Yeah, the antidote, the medicine
Is in the dumb little dream
Buried out back by the stream
Where it could never be seen
The antidote
I somehow lost the sea of faith
And so I tried to conquer the place
