Cardamom
Ran shivers down her faithful thumbs
Sharp lungs
Connected dots through few remaining crumbs
Don't you know
That eventually we’ll have nowhere left to go
Tough luck
When the trees all die we’ll be standing side by side
Soon enough
When the oil dries and the time just passes by
Don’t you know
That eventually we’ll have nowhere left to go
In the limelight
Just tell me that you’re right
That we’ll be alright
This time
Cardamom
Ran Shivers down her faithful thumbs

We’re all just spinning round
The particles burning red
Safe and sound
Hypocrisies in our heads
I don’t know how it happened
As I awake held captive
Through all of the people I knew
Holding onto my shoes
It’s cold out today
Idiosyncrasies fade away
Given time
I’m happiest changing my mind
I don’t know how it happened
As I awake held captive
Through all of the people I knew
Holding onto my shoes
I don’t know how it happened
I don’t know how it happened

Masquerade
Magic pills on the highway
Asphalt grains littered with your youth
If only they could stop you
Draped and warm
Know you’ll be alright
That you’re safe now from the storm
That memory transcends gold
That eternity itself grows old
Candles bright
Left your hopes and dreams at the motel last night
They say the world works in mysterious ways
But it was just too dark to see
Infinity speak
Know you did alright
As all could see knew you might
That we became something more
Than the chemicals beneath our souls

The sky became a newborn child
Clouded hair blooming by decree
Writhing in aimless contemplation
We watched her eyelids stutter about face
Amidst the scorn and flies
Hastily dispersed into the midnight
The sky became a newborn child
Clouded hair blooming by decree
Her monotone past breathes softly and free
Greets paradise as just a passerby
Beneath the blanket of night
The paper man recedes into the streetlight
Next to the drive through
Sprawled out on the lawn
Measured and calm
Holding tight
On this hot August night
Flaunt the stars
As the winds marry
To the sound of your car

Peregrine
Where have you been
Waking up on a cool sunday morning
Here the guns
The sound of your backyard
Oh I know it’s hard
A waste of the past
To cheat your tax
Wandering at night
Asking strangers for the time
Though you know just where you ought to be
Please don’t cry
For you’ll be alright if you will it so
For the veins in which our blood slides constitute the sky
Wandering at night
Asking strangers for the time
Breaking your back on the staircase

It was hot in mid december
I’ll always remember
That look in your eyes so to speak
Time stopped as I fell asleep
Manically it’s all familiar
Vaguely familiar
I’m faking the thoughts in my head
Giving in
To words never meant
For me

Concrete underneath loose knee
Feeling alright dancing with insight
Morbid surprise amidst compelling cries across the aisle
My dear, why won’t you smile?
Watch the insects crawl into the fire
Deliberated distaste
For the world to see written on your stained glass sleeve
Hollowed out trees
Mourning amidst the leaves
Leaving tonight gasping the sunlight
Gone away in that sacred daze
Cloaked in bile
My dear, why won’t you smile?
Let your missteps sing between your ears
Initiated withdrawal
At the laundromat
Turning shiny gears
Nevermind, you’re entertained
Lest the earthquakes escape from a picture frame
Follow close into trite sun
Making friends with everyone
You never really thought about
Never really cared about
Yesterday

This looks familiar
Vaguely familiar
Almost unreal yet
It's too soon to feel yet
Close to my soul
And yet so far away
I'm going to go back there
Someday
Sunrises, night falls
Sometimes the sky calls
Is that a song there
And do I belong there
I've never been there
But I know the way
I'm going to go back there
Someday
