tainted strangers
sleeping on the train
she know how to
take away the pain
don’t you know its true
don’t you have a clue
I’m in love with you
I know you think it’s cruel
to see me like you do
we said maybe we’re
wasting all our time
I hope you don’t
go catch another line
don’t you know its true
don’t you have a clue
I’m in love with you
I know you think it’s cruel
to see me like you do
riding on a daydream

Altimeter

it’s getting harder to tell
here in the stratosphere
I want only to know
jetfan oblivion
on the brink of space
I fell in love with the speed of sound,
that reckoning boom
when i looked down
I locked eyes with a sad sad girl
the maiden blue
in dream, gravity unraveled at the seams
infinitesimal
a vapor in the sun
I’m drifting farther away
here in this fuselage
just when the nose dips down
I’m searching for that trusty gauge
that tells me how high
or how low
i’m reaching for my parachute
cause I still can’t fly
I’m upside down
I don’t trust the ground beneath my feet
its only sky
I can’t rely
altimeter’s ticking time
it’s getting harder to tell
here in the stratosphere
I want only to know
jetfan oblivion
on the edge
silent earth comes swiftly into view

City Of Kings

breathing the whole world in
scrounging for an answer
in the city of kings
feeling sentimental
for the suitcase days, you know
it’s harder than you realize
living like a frog in a jar
breathing the whole world in
when the morning comes
pray for the sun
as the night sets in
weep for the stars
awaiting the break of day
breathing the whole world in
searching for a reason
to escape, alone
rushing past the ruins
in the thickening grey
eking respiration
on the tree lined malecón
awaiting the break of day
when the morning comes
pray for the sun
as the night sets in
weep for the stars
just remember
winter never lasts
wherever you are
the sky is basically the same
breathing the whole world in

underneath the shifting sea
there’s a boy who dreams of thee
nail and hook and ancient spear
faceless shadows linger near
wherefore, therefore
in between the silt and stone
lies a lover scarcely grown

Mirror
02:28
|
|
||
|
looking in the mirror
looking in the past
oh, life’s just begun
think of yourself
with a white picket fence
oh, throw it all away
looking in the mirror
looking in the past
oh, life’s just begun
lost in your eyes
constellations collide
there is nothing to fear

the king of consternation
hasn’t left his couch in days, oh no
he feeds on glowing pixels
from the television screen, how serene
all his memories
are stored on drives and dvd’s, at his feet
hikikomori
blame inertia
he keeps his mind awake
as the plastic world degrades, so slow
sifting through the rubble
he finds a sullied photograph, a familiar face
in another time, he’d take a little walk outside
hikikomori

Ginkgo

|
on a distant street
hands full of leaves
you were the one who
traced the shapes
we set out on our own
and all the time the seeds were sown
behold the trees as they grow wild
maybe when you’re alone you
smile, and think of ginkgo
staying hopeful as the years go by
in a fragrant field
where I drew you near
pulled living fossils
from your hair
we set out on our own
and all the time the seeds were sown
behold the trees as they grow wild
maybe when you’re alone you
smile, and think of ginkgo
getting closer as the years go by

in rapture
don’t remember how I got here
to the white satin walls
and the old highway noise
and the revelry of dolls
in rapture
