Wall Painting
03:08
|
|||
|
Retreat like you did when I called.
I've grown so tense against the ailment that'll trigger your fall.
It's the edge I break,
borderline obscure, unmasking what I'm worth.
I am nothing compared to you.
So why the fuck would I stand if you'd just kick out my legs?
But the wall painting was not an eyesore when I held more grief.
To which I harbored no attempt to flee,
from all the simple little stubborn things that the wall painting will bring.
Why won't the photos by the lamp draw some shade?
The haunting dwelling here's no sensible thing.
Of course the water washed the pans from the sink,
but it was not your hands that let these mouths feed.

Beg the sunlight to call and appease, I'm a rabbit waiting for spring.
Took the long road home through the country,
I was nervous and I needed peace,
from the cold, from the inside of my room.
I left the window open for you.
It's you I remember, you're the cardinal singing to me.
I swallowed your discourse and kept it around,
It kept me serene when I couldn't sleep.
But it'll cycle through again, another reason to pretend
I don't exist.
Don't bother me, I left the furnace on to help me fall asleep.
Amidst the daylight I will dream.
There's a world out there, and I locked myself away.
Oh beneath the stairs, I stayed hidden, not today.
There's a world out there, and I found beauty in the rain.
And the way it floods my head with colors I once thought were grey.

Open Window

I sit by a foggy window. The hazy "today" and "tomorrow" 's along,
I wait for weekends to rid me of reason.
I glance behind me and they vanish without alarm.
How have they gotten so far away?
I sit by a foggy window. The patterned rain weighing heavy on our clothes.
I know that everything here casts a better glow, so I'm wandering close.
I sit by an open window. A breath of air and I know you won't let go.
A heart divided won't bring me to wisdom.
I glance behind me, it was standing there all along.

Cavern
04:25
|

|
Fear is the one thing I'll never be rid of.
Consider the patience, consider the searching all the caverns
in the dark side of your head,
to find any recess or comfort in hell. You're making the days seem bleaker.
I'm burrowing deeper, I dug up the well.
The water was coarse and the soil stale.
Will I feel again the vibrance of wistful thoughts released
from the tables of lament?
The clouds keep rolling over my head.
I need to sleep, I passed out in the library.
Trying to read up on why I'm so weak.
I let my conscience fall beneath.
Will I feel again the vibrance of wistful thoughts released
from the tables of lament?
The clouds keep rolling over my head.
So I'll surrender to the will, and the darker days that made me ill.
There's a world out there, but the door's too far away.
I don't need fresh air, the weather has kept me in today.
There's a world out there, and it feels haunted and opaque.
Oh God I'm scared, the devil has left me here again.
So here I will remain, in the quiet of the rain.
Though the sleeping of my head,
I am conscious of the end..
I want to grieve in the summer.
And let the sun wash away every corner.
I've been unwise to be seeking the answer,
without a glimpse of the truth and its heavy dread.
I won't let it dictate the end.

Let the Clock Die
02:20
|
|||
|
I don't keep track of time.
For the signal here could never reach me on the otherside.
I run into the earth again on a frozen night.
For such wakeful eyes, I cannot read the signs.
I let the clock die, always the same time.
I will never see its end, I'll never risk another glance.
Until the shock sets in I'll find a way to move on with it.
