lyrics

You read a book about a secret war between invisible armies and wrote yourself into the story
You hijacked the past and made it your future
You remember when you were a little girl seeing a strange woman on the rooftop
And you remember being that strange woman on the rooftop
Watching yourself as a little girl
You remember the photograph taken that day
You still have it
The photo you brought back in time to show the man who would invent the time machine that time travel was possible
To prove that his great grandfather was right when he rendered the spiritual visitor he saw in his garden in origami folds that would be passed down to him

You piloted the time machine into your past to give it to its inventor so he could reverse engineer it and pilot it into his family’s past to inspire his great grandfather to fold an origami representation of it to inspire its inventor to create it in the first place
Or something

The details are fuzzy
Time Travel gives you swiss cheese brain
A small price to pay for skipping across the chronosphere and saving the future from the past

Also, the line between author and character is pretty blurry sometimes
Maybe you can be both, like an Ouroboros wordsmith, devouring your own tale
That’s T-A-L-E
On account of I’m clever

Of course, it’s possible that you’re still locked in a mental institution and all of this time travel / conspiracy theory / team of super-spy magicians out to save the world stuff is just part of your delusion.
On account of you’re nuts

Mayhem Lettuce Port Byron, Illinois

Mayhem Lettuce was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993 when two sad teenage boys decided to channel their angst into music.
That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants.
