Lyrics
I'm a machine without a switch
I've done my best to go without it
Every blue moon I get convinced
That I can't ever make it happen by myself

I've been awake
To see the day
Devour the night
I've seen decay
Give way to growth
And make the most
of nearly nothing

Till human voices wake us
And we drown, and we drown,
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do it to yourself
I bet you know you do
I love you cause I do it to you too

These lofty thoughts are killing me
Preoccupied by what I could be
I get so high on my ideas
Don't call me down
But you can meet me where I land

I left the Bay in pursuit of lucid dreams
Now I drive for days
To make my way back to those
Old familiar places

Till human voices wake us
And we drown and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do it to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you cause you know I do it too

And when the mountain's gotta move
I push myself to circumvent it
And when I reach the other side
I see we've both been reinvented

I've been awake
To see the day
Devour the night
I've seen decay
Give way to growth
And make the most
of nearly nothing

Till human voices wake us
And we drown, and we drown,
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do it to yourself
I bet you know you do
I love you cause I do it to you too

Found my way here 9 years later from Night Vale.
Absolutely one of the best songs for the weather!

[Teo-door]

this is literaly the most beautiful song I've ever heard, and i mean that with my whole, dumb little heart

[bensmith]

This was the best weather segment Welcome to Night Vale has had in a while!!

[NikoNoniDK]

I found you through Welcome To Night Vale and I haven't been able to stop listening to this song ever since! I'm just wondering, are you able to post the lyrics anywhere? :)

[yayturtles]

Took them 69 episodes... But they finally made me want to listen to the weather with this song

[Nalora]

What a talent. Her voice is like butter.

[seraphinanoire]

Her vocals are like hypnotic honey to the ears.

[qkdeikf]

Found this song through WtNV, and I really love it!

[kioku]

This is pretty much the only weather from nightvale that really stuck with me.

[lollolggb]

i also foung this song through Night Vale(catching up to old episodes... I am a late comer to the show!). it is by far one of my favorite weather sections!

many thanks for the wonderful music :)

[MrNichtus]

Songs like this are really WHY I listen to WTNV. It's a great show anyway, but it introduces me to so many curious and wonderful songs and bands- like Satellite High from ep. 1, or Squalloscope. Now Kim Tillman & Silent Films! It's great. :D

[wordfloe]

OH MY GOD.
Thank you, Nighvale for leading me to this song!!!!
LOVE IT!~!!!!
But can't find an album, just this one single.

[mb]

Omg I'm so lucky my parents are friends with her :) her music s so good

[Lindsay]

Try listening to this song just once. It's impossible. On repeat all day, all night long.

[phoenixtalion]

Also here via WTNV -- immediately took a shine to this song, but couldn't find lyrics anywhere, so here's my best go at transcription:

I'm all machine without a switch
I've done my best to go without it
Every blue moon I get convinced
That I can't ever make it happen by myself

I've been awake
To see the day
Devour the night
I've seen decay
Give way to growth and make the most of nearly nothing

Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause I do it to you too

These lofty thoughts are killing me
Preoccupied by what I could be
I get so high on my ideals
Don't calm me down but you can meet me where I land

I left the day
In pursuit
Of lucid dreams
Now I drive for days
To make my way back to those old familiar places

Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause you know I do it too

Oh, when the mountains gotta move
I push myself to circumvent it
And when I reach the other side
I see we've both been reinvented

I've been awake
To see the day
Devour the night
I've seen decay
Give way to growth and make the most of nearly nothing

Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause I do it to you too

Two human voices wake us and we drown, and we drown
Seductive and impeccable abuse
You do to yourself I bet you know you do
I love you 'cause I do it to you too

[laumaklintsone]

Like most people, I found it through WTNV. It's been my favourite song lately, but I listen to most of my music on Spotify. Are there any chances of seeing it there someday?

[anneg.]

Already love this song!!! Found you through WTNV, and love it!

[mrmrvandyke]

any reference to my favorite line from Prufrock has me won over right away. Great song!

[Shiri-Eisner]

Also here from Welcome to Night Vale. This song touched my qtpoc feels even before I found out who it was by or who Kim Tillman was. Thank you <3

[TheIronkite]

This song is freaking brilliant. My god...
