Lyrics of Montreal

of Montreal

Authentic Pyrrhic Remission

So much violence in my head, how are we still alive?

The depression is under control

(No it's not, don't you ever stop lying, damn)

I love how we're learning from each other

You are such a positive

You're so empowering

In your hands I'm quite simply a different instrument

And you're the only one that ever put money on me

You think that I'd forget so easily

You emit a charged autumnal vibe

I know we're of the same tribe

The fall's our most productive season

Still a crippling fear has become Caesar and we're slightly moribund

so, naturally I want to help you invoke the architect of salutary memes

Our heads are pregnant with divine mechanics but, oh, how we're tyrannized

By tentacles of their ferine stupidity and it's all so disappointing

(But you're different)

I love how we're learning from each other

You're so empowering

In your hands I'm quite simply a different instrument

And you're the only one that ever put money on me

And tried to advance trans-human singularity

I love how we're learning from each other

You are such a positive, you're so empowering

In your hands I'm quite simply a different instrument

And you're the only one that ever put money on me

You think that I'd forget so easily

I love how we're learning from each other

Every time I listen to my heart I just get hurt

Until this afternoon I was a nomad

No country would call me its son

I'd be a refugee but I have no substance

Asking for papers, I have none

Until this afternoon I was a pariah

A mongrel chased and kicked and hit

Hunted even in my dreaming

Though there was no crime I did commit

Until this afternoon I was an exile

But now that word is obsolete

There are no nations, no concept of ego

Our illumination is complete
