and that's when we'll explode (and it won't be a pretty sight)

this week i finally listened to the lyrics to We Will Become Silhouettes while using my brain.

(it's a Postal Service song)
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
And pictures of you and i'm not coming out
Until this is all over
And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends
At the cracks
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
The echoes belong to someone
Someone i used to know

And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...

I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make our cells
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
And that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight)

And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...

And we'll become
And we'll become

perhaps it was all the planning that we did for our heavily-defended underground stronghold that made things click...

T has been on a nuclear explosion kick this week, playing an atomic warfare game, watching Radio Bikini and Atomic Cafe... He'd probably love this song. It kind of freaks me out, though.

My house is totally indefensible in case of zombie attack. Or it will be until we board up all the downstairs windows...

Yeah, it's some pretty, um, challenging lyrics.
