EmIt's a new yCear
In an old houseG  
With more technology you'll nDever understand
EmBreak out your typewrCiter
With your thees and thGous
Smearing old words with your oDld hands
AmYou'll call me CassanCdra
I'll call you King JaGmes
And all we write is true. And aDll of it insane
AmBut the changing of the seCasons will forever stay the sGame
You sDay
The infEmantry's retreating
Like they kCnew how this would end
Did you hGear the Germans lost the war?
I bet tAmhey could use a friend
Right nDow supper's getting cold
Right nCow God is growing old
Right nDow dialect is evolving
COutside this house
Or so I'm toEmld
It's a real fear
For you and me
Burning clothing just to keep the winter warm
My fingers trace the gumline
Of a skeleton key
Not caring whether it could open up the door
The faces at the window
Are children in the womb
Black-eyed and still
But growing every day
You'll die on the outside
Or die in this room
Either way
Our infancy's receding
We're a heartbeat from the end
Did you hear the madmen lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper's getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside this house
Or so I'm told
AmWe're stockpiling wCarheads
We're stuck in the pGast
Death is art Truth is Dbeauty
And the first shall be laAmst
You'll call me AthCena, I'll call you MoGnet
When the world is falling doDwn crumbling like claAmy
We're hiding in caverns
Forgetting our names
We dissolve in our mythology
Like blood in the rain
You'll call me the lion
I'll call you the lamb
I am lost in all you are
You're alive for what I am

Em C

It's a new year

In an old house

With more technology you'll never understand

Em C

Break out your typewriter

With your thees and thous

Smearing old words with your old hands

Am C

You'll call me Cassandra

I'll call you King James

And all we write is true. And all of it insane

Am C G

But the changing of the seasons will forever stay the same

You say

The infantry's retreating

Like they knew how this would end

Did you hear the Germans lost the war?

I bet they could use a friend

Right now supper's getting cold

Right now God is growing old

Right now dialect is evolving

Outside this house

Or so I'm told

It's a real fear

For you and me

Burning clothing just to keep the winter warm

My fingers trace the gumline

Of a skeleton key

Not caring whether it could open up the door

The faces at the window

Are children in the womb

Black-eyed and still

But growing every day

You'll die on the outside

Or die in this room

Either way

Our infancy's receding

We're a heartbeat from the end

Did you hear the madmen lost the war?

I bet they could use a friend

Right now supper's getting cold

Right now God is growing old

Right now dialect is evolving

Outside this house

Or so I'm told

Am C

We're stockpiling warheads

We're stuck in the past

Death is art Truth is beauty

And the first shall be last

C G

You'll call me Athena, I'll call you Monet

D Am

When the world is falling down crumbling like clay

We're hiding in caverns

Forgetting our names

We dissolve in our mythology

Like blood in the rain

You'll call me the lion

I'll call you the lamb

I am lost in all you are

You're alive for what I am
