THE BALLAD OF RUST COHLE

I dreamed I was a person in a locked room
I thought that I had thoughts that were my own
I woke to find nothing here but strings to see
Another puppet who believed it was a dream

People out here don’t know the world exists
Might as well be living on the fucking moon

There Is No Such Thing As Forgiveness
People just Have Short Memories
Death Created Time To Grow The Things That It Would Kill
I know something’s killing me

Everything We’ve Ever Done We do over and over again
We’re Gonna Keep Making the same mistakes.

Life’s barely long enough to get good at one thing.
So be careful what thing you get good at.

It's all one ghetto, man. A giant gutter in outer space
A tragic joke in being alive.
We are illusions who can’t see we are illusions
Riding down the flat circle of time.

I dreamed I was a person in a locked room
I thought that I had thoughts that were my own
I woke to find nothing here but strings to see
Another puppet who believed it was a dream

I know who I am. And after all these years
I think there’s a victory in that.

I don’t sleep. I just dream.
