Sleep as the goer
The bridge that watches the light-speed through
And cries while the spirit stumbles
The inside missile for the protection of you
Maybe its silent
The voice cant bear anymore strain
But speaks without even knowing
And streams outside in the direction of truth
Theres no reason, theres no secret to decode
If you cant save it, leave it dying on the road
Wide open arms can feel so cold
So cold, feel so cold
Balance the books, the ledges, the loons
The disappointed look on the faces that squint at the moon
Lets see it, with shadows enhance
And then vote to decide wholl advance
Silver jet plane making a turn
Exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn
Its not the life lesson Id have guessed
If youre conscious you must be depressed or at least cynical
But someone might still eat the steaks
Even if theyre tough
Spending the day chewing the fat
Floating away isnt rough but its not enough
Oh Marianne, pass me the joint
The sandpapers tan
Go-getters are surfing the point
And Londons a catch on the lens
Its over before it begins
Silk round her neck falls down to her shoulders
The older I get, the more I suspect theres a trick
But really theres no trip at all
That doesnt result in a fall or a faltering
But something could spit out the bait
Even if its real, rolling away missing a spoke
Close to the ground like a wheel
But its not a joke
Holding the line, clutching the phone
Nobly wasting the night but it isnt right
Its not right smelling for blood, praying for rain
Running away isnt rough but its not enough
The low tide is telling me when its over
To breathe in everything exposed
And comes back to cover me with a blanket
Being heres always changing tunes
The empty sky surrounds me but I cant see at all
Wide open arms can feel so cold
And you can sit beside me and tell me what its worth
But I hope I die before I get sold
I hope I die before I get sold
Id rather die before I get sold
If you find the soul that you lost
Frozen in a starry void
Take it within and hope the sight of blood
Can will signs of life to return
Back to the way that it was
Long before it made a noise
To keep on quietly reminding you
Whats never created or destroyed
Wake as the swell peaks
The close-outs drowning the birds with roars
And howls scare the new unkindness
That picks and laughs at the carrion scene
Forces you see
Breath can always go into hiding
And wait til it passes over
Or stay far gone for all eternity
