lyrics

Back when you were mine, in the southern stew,
it all fell in place, what was old was new, we drank in in haste.

When I believed in magical things,
a siren song, I conjured you I lured you on.

Your eyes were jars of fireflies,
together at last, the augmented seconds of a crash.

Aimlessly polish tarnished silver.
Lines reflect a face.
Frequency degrades the surface.
Amplitude and timeworn grace.
Skin has molted, smelted, sculpted ,
into what I knew that you could be
into what I wanted you for me,
that time ….. our song played.

I’d burn the hole they live in but I hesitate,
to hate. Objectively in all I’m doing great.

But when I see you clearly now,
all righteous bite, and bark, so stark, was I right?

Or endlessly a stepping stone,
always second place, the right time,
a piece, a necessary rhyme?

I see you in the microscopic dance,
from The 10,000 meter view
I see you in the horse rides, the trance,
from the doors we break through.
