The Slow Cancellation of the Future

Tiny Desk Concerts is a video series of live concerts hosted by NPR Music at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen in Washington, D.C. The first Tiny Desk Concert came about in 2008 after Boilen and NPR Music editor Stephen Thompson left South by Southwest frustrated that they couldn't hear the music over the crowd noise.

When the future is haunted by ghosts
Complicating time as we know
And all beyond is void 
It goes, it goes, oh it goes
Tragic layers, forgotten affairs
Stale, undyingly restless 
Captivated by nostalgic air 
It goes, it goes, oh it goes

Isolated in a world in distress
Pixelated cultivation of loneliness 
As if we are leaving the earth for good 
As if we could 
We are really gonna do the same again 

Dilated pupils that glance 
At a melting picture which we regard 
As the semblance of who we are 
And everything we are about 
And everything that we could be 
And everything that we have been 
And every possibility
It goes, it goes, oh it goes
