    [00:-4.00]Okkervil River - We Need a Myth

    We need a myth
    We need an amethyst bridge
    We need a high hanging cliff
    Jump, fall and lift
    We can make it
    We need a path
    Through the mist
    Like in our beds
    We were just kids
    Like what was said by our parents
    A myth
    I guess What we're after is just this
    I feel my heart's like a fist
    Words spilling out
    From the blessed lips
    Of any prophet or goddess
    I need a myth
    Brought back to life by a kiss
    Scrape away grey cement
    Show me the world as it was again
    As it was in a myth
    A red ribbon to reconnect
    The lady's head to her neck
    And to forget that her throat
    Was ever slit
    Oh and I'm sick
    Of all these picture books that try
    To steal some old reflections for their light
    But desperate measures point to desperate times
    And that's why
    We're cut adrift
    And we need a mass uplift
    The world is trembling and weeping
    Just at the point of believing
    In a myth
    The sun that shines on my head
    The moon that lights me to bed
    Were two identical twins
    Inside of a myth
    I heard the voice of a friend
    On Lethe's banks
    Wading in
    And he said
    Before I forget
    As we lean in to kiss
    To get two nails
    Through the wrist
    To get covered in blood
    And to get covered in spit
    And to forgive.
    And if all we're taught is a trick
    Why would this feeling persist?
    And with the truth closing in
    I must insist
    We need a myth.
