lyrics

Of all the days lost to folded skin.
This long awaited cane to drag me in.
And off of stage and far away from time
ageless embrace, my body to my mind.

Once
my eyes were full of black.
I felt like I was dreaming
with ten minds that were not sleeping.

There
from the crumbing side of the well,
rustling under branches,
lone streams of drying dreams.

Lay down where the trickle meets the river
and dig your feet in the sand.
I know this is our only chance to be going.

Then, as you look back across the way,
the tainted wave approaches
as you stand up into the breeze.

We built a ship out of armadillo shells,
and as we all set sail in the wishing well,
the stars began to fall,
but they were trapped in time.
Trapped in time, love.

I wish I was
maybe then I’d see you crying.
I wish I was around to see
you crying.

So you got sixty years in one day,
and you don’t know where to put it away.
So, throw it in your heart.
Throw it away.
Throw it in your heart.
Throw it away.

I wash myself in these waning memories.
(home)
As the fluid starts to rise,
and comes seeping through my eyes.
(home)
I’d drown us all underneath the tire swing.
(home)

Run.
Home.
