assume
a sun
a sun…a sun…
so soon the sun
a stationary mother mary’s son
now turn off your love light
your work is done
a stationary mother mary’s son
a faraway star will make us reconsider who we are
we’re victims of our solar system
and i was stunned
i was taken aback
filling in the details as my body went slack
thinking of the wars we might’ve won…
now turn off your love life
your work is done
oh so soon, oh so soon the sun…

“silent stars” was written/recorded in november 2009
(i wanted to write a “back to basics” song in Amajor)
(and what could be more “back to basics” than a song about the sun?)
(and “son” has jesus christ implications)
(as in the “son of god”)
recorded an updated version of “silent stars”

state your name and purpose for our files
you donβt see it coming
listen for the fireflies humming
woa oh oh woo oh woo oh
she donβt like me none
but she was tons of fun alright
all that i imagined her to be
gather your armies, your work is done
