The Long Con
Embracing Apocalypse: The Long Con's Pragmatic Romance
Lyrics
We built this house
We established a foundation for our relationship or life.
Around trap doors
We anticipated potential betrayal or disasters and prepared for them.
In case of betrayal or nuclear war
Preparedness for betrayal and nuclear war is part of our foundation.
We built this house
Our dwelling is built around damaged or unstable elements.
Around busted beams
We, as practical dreamers, face challenges with uneasy aspirations.
Pragmatic romantics with troubling dreams
Despite our troubled dreams, we approach life pragmatically.
Now there’s nothing, nothing worth hiding for
There is no longer anything significant to conceal.
Anymore
Nothing is worth hiding for anymore.
Yeah there’s nothing, nothing worth worrying for Anymore
Nothing is worth worrying about anymore.
Drink with me as with me as the world ends
Share a drink with me as the world comes to an end.
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Find humor with me as the sun sets.
Walk with me in the last remaining light
Accompany me in the dwindling light of the world.
Drink with me as the world
Share a drink with me as the world undergoes changes.
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Rest with me as the moon descends.
Into the endless night
As night falls endlessly, we face it together.
I made a boat out of collar bones
I created a vessel using collar bones.
And you carved a harbor from cinnamon stones
You fashioned a haven from delicate materials.
We charted course for the end of days
We planned for the apocalypse and embraced disaster, dancing on graves.
A plan for disaster and dancing on graves
We had a strategy for the end of the world.
Now there’s nothing, nothing worth drowning for Anymore
Nothing is worth drowning for anymore.
Yeah there’s nothing, nothing worth worrying for Anymore
There's nothing worth worrying about anymore.
Drink with me as with me as the world ends
Share a drink with me as the world approaches its end.
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Find joy with me as the sun fades away.
Walk with me in the last remaining light
Walk with me in the last moments of remaining light.
Drink with me as the world
Share a drink with me as the world transforms.
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Rest with me as the moon plunges into eternal night.
Into the endless night
As darkness prevails, we face it together.
We made a fable from broken things
We crafted a story from shattered elements.
First person poems and second hand rings
Used personal narratives and recycled symbols to tell our tale.
We made a case for the long con
Argued for a strategy of prolonged deception.
Cause when you travel together you’ve never been gone
When journeying together, the feeling of absence is nonexistent.
Now there’s nothing, nothing worth running for Anymore
There's nothing worth fleeing from anymore.
Yeah there’s nothing, nothing worth worrying for Anymore
There's nothing worth worrying about anymore.
Drink with me as with me as the world ends
Share a drink with me as the world meets its end.
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Find amusement with me as the sun sets.
Walk with me in the last remaining light
Walk with me in the last remaining light.
Drink with me as the world
Share a drink with me as the world undergoes transformations.
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Rest with me as the moon descends into eternal night.
Into the endless night
As darkness envelops, we confront it together.
Drink with me as with me as the world ends
Share a drink with me as the world nears its end.
Laugh with me as the sun dies
Find humor with me as the sun fades away.
Walk with me in the last remaining light
Walk with me in the last moments of remaining light.
Drink with me as the world
Share a drink with me as the world transforms.
Sleep with me as the moon falls
Rest with me as the moon plunges into eternal night.
Into the endless night
As darkness prevails, we face it together.
