lyrics

It’s quiet here
especially at night
but the light, the air, is clear
and if you listen you might hear
transmitted by the breeze
birds complete their sequences
of melodies
something they haven't done
in twenty-five or thirty years
even the birds are hardcore here
in this republic of the weird

The game is on, the wren
is staking out his territory
threatening war
on anything or anyone
who dares to breach perimeter
everyone is paranoid
everyone's unsure
it’s been like this, my brother
since you up and disappeared
leaving us to gorge ourselves
on monkey nuts and beer
here in this republic of the weird

The future is
there is
no future anymore
there's only here
where we’re
confined inside our cells
thrown back on ourselves
here in this republic of the weird

So maybe this is how it ends
not with cataclysm
but with birdsong –
see them soar in murmuration
see them disappear
into the upper air
go back inside and lock the door,
put out the fire, douse the candles,
take your blanket, climb the stairs
and say a prayer for all that you hold dear
in this republic of the weird

The future is
there is
no future anymore
there's only here
where we’re
confined inside our cells
thrown back on ourselves
here in this republic of the weird
