Unlikely Cassius Songtext
von Fix Everything

Fashion me a chariot
Unlikely Cassius
A shimmer, flicker, lashing us
A figure in the sand

Eradicate the faithlessness
Exclusion zones for scavengers
Oh, Damocles is looking up
A sheath held in his hand

Particulars like passing gusts
Let go of me, and then of us
First past the post, to maladjust
Depersonalise like I

What turns the fourth, what churns like rust
An interplanetary dust
An act we can′t, a thought we must
A faith to fortify


An effigy to burn
A channel to the sea
The echo of a dancer
A gaze into the deep

An effigy to burn
A channel to the sea
The echo of an actor
Who dreams but does not sleep

An effigy to burn
A channel to the sea
The echo of a lifetime
A gaze into the deep

An effigy to burn
A channel to the sea
The echo of a lover
Who dreams but does not sleep
I dream but do not sleep
I dream but do not sleep
I dream but do not sleep

When I get to the lighthouse
And I'm sure as hell getting over
When I get to the lighthouse
Ground shakes low, crumbling like Dover


Kept guard over infinite acres
Now we depart for a withering plume
Let there be light in the lighthouse
When I come, and I′m coming over

Light's out at the lighthouse
Last breath of a supernova
Lost ward of the lighthouse
Has been struck! I've been struck by a siren

Light breaks anew!
Light breaks anew!
Light breaks anew!
Light breaks!

An effigy to burn
A channel to the sea
The echo of a lifetime

There′s nothing left to burn
Release the light in me
The echoing of lovers
We dream but do not sleep
