lyrics

[narrator]

eddie used to say that it was almost like a room
that you had to hit the fourth plateau to even get into
and time folds in upon itself if you can make it through
and your past and future selves are all inside waiting for you

and he says:
"that's how i always know just what to do."
brenda, is that true?

eddie says it's wrong to think of time as like a loop
he says people perceive cycles cuz they can't handle the truth.
"it's more like spinning plates," he says. "it's delicate, aloof
and it's all gonna break down one day and there's nothing we can do."

and he says:
"i think it's gonna happen soon."
brenda, is that true?

[eddie]

in the heat of the war
are you scared or are you sure
that when your knees hit the floor
you will know what you are?

[narrator]

well, we got to the funeral bout quarter after two
less than a week after brandon used a white belt as a noose
he wiped his seratonin after eddie broke the truce
all the pills they found were yellow, but it's clear he had the blues

and he said:
"baby, i did it all for you."
brenda, is that true?

[eddie]

in the heart of the storm
as you swing back and forth
we all have roles. this was yours
it was ordained when you were born

in the midst of the swarm
small mistakes start to form
something big - something more
a nagging thought: a deathless roar

[narrator]

well, the basements in this city are all portals into hell
and the saints built their basilica in an attempt to quell
any influence of demons on the kids that tend to dwell
in the gulf between macalester and a wright county jail

and i guess:
i guess it's gonna have to do.
and you know that's true.
