lyrics

and dreaming
but not dreaming
its that look you know, like i'll be leaving
but really i'm just right here fixed beneath the ceiling

in motion
or slow-motion
we talked about late last night, sippin potions,
viscous, oh adolescence some ocean of...

feeling
what are you feeling?
the trees arched over now, as if grieving
sunlight laying down on the lawn as if needing to...

sleep soundly
oh I wont wake you
i'm drunk but i manage my world, quiet fables
parables to keep to myself til i'm able to...

(to see morning
to write neatly
to measure all the mania out, but discretely...)

it's mario kart every night these days
red shell from Ariel out spite these days
and in the morning, everything is in its place
back unchanged

it's drifting, just to keep time at bay
Lucas passing Dan at the line always
the night falling out of the sky,
again and again

is it
is this how the world began?
traffic, gone now in all of the lanes
morning, here like it always was
all unchanged

in the dream
you're walking with palm of your hands
faced up, like anticipation of rain
and you're crying, cause it's beautiful to be where you are
then the beauty dissolves
and you wake

all the work
to hold the night up with our minds
all the work
to try and be older than this
dont laugh
tell me what you see when you look
are we aging at all

and is it
is this how the world began?
with Lucas, at the line passing on Dan
in the morning,
its just how Dewey was saying
everything waiting for its name
unchanged

in the dream
the moon fits into my palm
in the dream
i explain why again and again
and you listen
as quiet as anything is
and you dont get tired at all
not ever

all the work
to try and lift the suitable word
all the work
its just like how Dewey was saying
in the morning
you can see it in the streets if you look
everything waiting for its name
