Since we died,
Sirens scream at me to follow,
To lay.

She left the body
But I can't see.

I hear, I feel.

I cannot follow.

You took everything
But you seem to have left it all behind
The clouds in the sky
My my my...mind;
Where has it gone?

We concern ourselves with those people
As if we can do anything for a dead mouse
The air turns to dust
And we can't grow anymore.
We concern ourselves with it.

Is it magic or dark arts?
Sympathy is exhausting
When you take the heat from your body to light the fires of someone else's home.

I'll spark your sheets to ash.

Mother, measure the distance, are you proud?
Father, you won't ever know, are you proud of yourself?

Sister, you say your my friend but why won't you be my family?
Brother, let's dream inside the dream.

I am higher than the birds
I am farther than the sun
I am open to the universe
I am open to everyone

number one:
She planted the seed
That made me leave.

Number two:
She tended the trees;
I bare the fruit.

It was fine but I think I hate my job
And I won't spend anytime here
With you
I'm going to the other room
There's laughs and things
I would rather do
You just sit there
Wallowing in ****
In the pages of that book
Or with your headphones stuffed in
Deafening you to the world
You say you hate so much.

I can't take it anymore
Go be worthless somewhere else

"Darling you don't even know the worthlessness I consistently feel in your eyes, in that bed. I didn't see myself destroying me."

When I'm alone in my room
Please be someone I could hold
You look like you want to
I don't know if you want to

We don't need the room
We could hit the road
I will love it all the same
And the boy with your name

I could wait for you
I could wait for ever

The beat and the sound,
I see her in the arms of someone else

The beat and the sound,
The blurring lights were enough to catch my eye

The beat and the sound,
I'll never be the blues and greens of your body

The beat and the sound,
It's all the same, over and over again.
