every name is my name lyrics

I made a movie about the end of the world
It was twelve seconds long and it didn't have a plot
It just happens and that's why it's in black and white
The characters don't talk or move around

They just stare up at the sky, frozen
And the light, the light is numb, the light is off
The light is just a thumb nail sketch of God
God, somewhere, someone is crying

The camera sweeps over a desolate street
Holding a mother and her child, the kid is calm
And she is shaking, the camera passes into the sun

Come at last to be undone, panicking
She tries to run, the kid is calm and then the credits roll
And every name is my name
