i like to think of those rides back home from the beach, the sand still stuck to my legs, my hair stiff with ocean perfume, the salt sting fresh under my nose- the long drives make me listen to emery, the songs about divorce and failure, how love is never true, the sound of a fading dream like ocean mist in the shot sun alone with wet feet.
My God, this was supposed to be simple- if you told me that days would grow cold like the sound of her voice then i don't know if it'd be a choice to live or die, to stay are drown in the sea like my dreams, silent sounds. i wonder, if the clouds are as soft as they seem, what would it be to fall through, to watch me bleed- stop to breath-
i try my hardest to make sense of the meaningless emptiness! the scratch-crawl for time's new best! **** me and you'll watch the sun rise, even though i lived a good life. the sun rises and falls even on the days we die. for this new lie- for this new life lies to us that it will be alright that we will find it all inside just like we make our right, the wrongs in us just dissipate like the lungs we let deflate- still breathing still breathing still breathing! like the air never stops circling the ocean deceiving! deceiving! like the lies we tell our kids at night they're all believing! believing!
go and tell it to the mountains that what you found is the next cure to cancer! go and share you love like what you found is the next answer! for history repeats itself- we know it all too well- history repeats itself, so like the wind that blows away i'll watch you fall flat on your face! as if the ocean never saw you coming! never saw you running! like the world was fooled by your crafty ways! your despiteful gaze! watching the world, watching you drift down summer lakes- the eyes still fixed in place-
go and tell your stories like you wrote the first one of all- we will watch with pen in hand waiting for the ink to bleed and fall- go and pretend like you know but you know that you don't and you say that your sure, but we know what your wrote and you can tell me your stories, but I know that they're lies- you wrote them on paper but it blend through the sides-
just go- just go- like time did before you hand a chance to change your road- just go- just go- before you look back and remember why you always felt so alone- just go- just go- the wind waits for you God will bring us all home-
