Valley Maker
Take My People Dancing
Hold on, wait, I think I’ll be there in a moment
You looked like you were already sleeping, dreaming, or dying
Well I can’t tell the difference
These days, those days
All of your beginnings
They become your endings
So now god is somewhere waiting on his children
Smiling, laughing, delivering your raindrops
Devil, you fell in fire and your hubris
Humans, we think we can overgrow you
Not until I find you
So I walk through cities hoping that I’ll find you
Sleeping, creeping, so that I may kill you
People, places, I don’t know your names yet
But I’m walking, always looking for an exit
Tell me when you find it
So please hear me when I tell you all how much I
Love you, need you, want to see you living
You ask, Austin, tell us what you mean now
“nothing,” I say, “I just want to feel good”
Tell me when you feel good
But we’re still trying
I reach out for you in a bolt of lightning
I want to hold you, but this world is so inviting
I want to keep you, but you are not everlasting
I want to go outside and take my people dancing
I want to go outside and take my evil dancing
I think we went outside and took our evil dancing
And now there’s nothing left but laughing
And now there’s nothing left
