lyrics

DEEP BRIGHT FUTURE

SINCE I'M THE FIRST MAN
TO BE SUCCESSFULLY REVIVED FROM CRYOSTASIS
I THOUGHT THEY'D WANT AN INTERVIEW
BUT NO ONE CALLED

THE PAST IS DEAD
AND TO THE EARS OF THE LIVING
THE MILES WALKED TO SCHOOL THROUGH FALLING SNOW
ARE LESS COMPELLING IN THE TELLING
THAN THEY WERE TO TRUDGE ALONE

SO HERE I AM
CAVEMAN WITH A FLIP PHONE
WALKING THESE STREETS THAT HAVE NO SIGNS
BECAUSE THE MAPS INSIDE THE MINDS
OF ALL THE FREAK SHOWS PASSING BY
HAVE MADE THEM OBSOLETE

THIRTY LONG YEARS, LOST IN THE DEEP BRIGHT FUTURE
LAYING ON MY DEATHBED
WHEN THE JOURNALIST FINALLY COMES TO TAKE MY STATEMENT
I DECIDE TO BE EVASIVE

SO I ASK:
"WHY NOW?"
AND SHE SAYS:
"FACE IT LIFE IS SHORT SO WE'RE IMPATIENT,
ONLY LAST WORDS CAN ELICIT ANY SENSE OF FASCINATION.
IT'S A BASIC PRECONDITION OF THE LIVING TO BE COMPLACENT
WITH THE PAST
TIL THE FUTURE STARTS TO THREATEN TO ERASE IT
AND WE NOTICE SOMETHING'S FADING
AND THERE'S NOTHING TO REPLACE IT."
I SAID "OK, HERE'S A QUOTE:
YOU'RE ALL WRONG,
LIFE IS LONG,
THAT'S WHY WE WASTE IT."
