Powers

Lyrics: Julien Baker/Phoebe Bridgers/Lucy Dacus Music: Julien Baker/Phoebe Bridgers/Lucy Dacus How did it start? Did I fall into a nuclear reactor Crawl out with acid skin or somethin' worse A hostile alien ambassador? Or am I simply another of the universe's failed experiments? Either way, I have been wondering just how it is (How it is) I have never heard (Never heard) the tale of how I got my powers
Thrust into being, careening along On a crooked little trajectory Dissolving in movement, a body in orbit Or a roach on his way to the gutter?
The tail of a comet burned up in an instant The destruction of matter There's no object to be seen in the supercollider Just the light in the tunnel and whatever gets scattered Light flashing before the eye of whatever comes after
The force of our impact, the fission The hum of our contact, the sound of our collisions
