Owen Pallett
Transformer
[Verse 1]
Every time I sing, you say that I'm gaslighting
Falsifying a private Thermidor
Your love was a warm wind, and me an empty sail
I collapse to the kitchen floor
When I wish I was never born
My mother tells me I wasn't born so much as excreted
But this emptiness is a gift
I'm free to write the future, an empty man undefeated

[Verse 2]
I think I've found the cure
Make sure you're living a quarter of your waking life in the present
And the rest I'll spend remembering
Scorching our feet on the sand and tires of our bikes on wet cement

[Verse 3]
We were sparklers in the night
And even now your resting face cannot conceal the light
Your love was a warm wind
As the world you left, it falls away and an island rises into sight
