Prisoner's Dilemma

from Morningside by Faded Paper Figures

/

lyrics

The magazines of little men
with centuries they all descend
with old frustrations still inside
like what to do with other minds,
with other minds?

And is it wrong, this love of hearse?
and if we never died, would that be worse?
So sing your song, you love averse.
You didn’t like the khôras? You’re not the first.

The histories of all “great men”
with cults of death they’re born again
with money Shanghaied deep inside,
like jealous lovers’ prying eyes,
love’s prying eyes.

And is it wrong, this love of hearse?
and if we never died, would that be worse?
So sing your song, you love averse.
You didn’t like the khôras? You’re not the first.

For every Nietzsche come again,
with bright Apollo’s businessmen,
with every word you’re mystified,
why is this love not other-wise,
just otherwise?

And is it wrong, this love of hearse?
and if we never died, would that be worse?
So sing your song, you love averse.
You didn’t like the khôras? You’re not the first.
