I am not accustomed to feelings of longing As it is now not from a person I stand on the creaking logs in the middle of a swamp's river Balancing to remain afloat I watch from a distance Sitting on my rain cloud As my acid raindrops on your safe haven homeland I have hidden my heart under these planks And the beating is like black and yellow sparks Screaming in my ear "Now," They shriek, "Now." I'm like an artist staring at a canvas The rainbows swirl in my mind But there is no shadow There is no story.? I watch the band from below I shower them with photos And they ask me to be there Again and again I watch from the wood Longing to be in the rainbow rain I describe the floorboards Because that is all I know.

The Floorboards
I am not accustomed to feelings of longing As it is now not from a person I stand on the creaking logs in the middle of a swamp's river Balancing to remain afloat I watch from a distance Sitting on my rain cloud As my acid raindrops on your safe haven homeland I have hidden my heart under these planks And the beating is like black and yellow sparks Screaming in my ear "Now," They shriek, "Now." I'm like an artist staring at a canvas The rainbows swirl in my mind But there is no shadow There is no story.? I watch the band from below I shower them with photos And they ask me to be there Again and again I watch from the wood Longing to be in the rainbow rain I describe the floorboards Because that is all I know.
