though you're over the moon I'll see you soon in a field of daffodils or the copper light of a dream doubt finds its way into my brain seeping in like the rainwater on my rooftop lightning up ahead creaky doors while I'm in bed feeling awful blue I'll follow your path to be true well met on the path shared a drink and a laugh I nearly forgot what I was following for if you see her please tell I'll follow her to hell and if I never find her I had a good time trying dark stars sink in hard shepherd me through the dark feeling awful blue I'll follow your path to be true

god damn 02:58
god damn! I don't know what to say I guess I'll just walk away her eyes are so painfully bright I'm going blind alright will you water my flowers and let my dog outside? I can't be here without a disguise god damn! the clouds are moving fast into shapes that I recognize she's on a jet plane and my mouth is watering for another tasty lie if you see my flowers please just let them die I don't wanna know what I would find she said "there's something that you need to know it still matters but you have to go"

out of sight and out of mind I felt her alien skin against mine I walked down the beaten path far off in the darkness I heard the flowers laugh I don't know how far I have to run theres a man behind me laughing with a loaded gun here she comes, she is soaking through the walls here she comes, she is emptying the ashtray here she comes, she is flying down the freeway here she comes, she is going going gone Something dark beneath her stare if you look real close you'll see a rainbow there pull is tightly to your chest feed it to the ghosts all around you for the best i don't know what part of my head she came from the devil and the angel on my shoulders have gone numb here she comes, she is soaking through the walls here she comes, she is emptying the ashtray here she comes, she is flying down the freeway here she comes, she is going going gone going going gone

please crush my broken bones into pieces forge them into a statue of a lamb I wanna graze in the green fields where the shadows never grow anyways, you'll never know who I am when I closed my eyes, I saw the bees flying while in the world, I felt those tears crying take away my mind, and let it all fall to smithereens cold and lonely, laying in the brine cloak my bleeding gaze with noise, soft and joyful tickling my spine down into sleep I wanna fly in the static sky, with those grey birds and when the sunlight courses through I'll softly cry please crush my broken bones into pieces forge them into a statue of a lamb I wanna graze in the green fields where the shadows never grow anyways, you'll never know who I am

.... are you just a dream? I speak your name in my shallow sleep I felt you slide along each mile you go, the slower my heart throbs and your name was sweeter than the taste of cherries and your voice is all I need to keep breathing I'll just dream of you until the fog blends in with the truth christmas lights will fade the moon's pale light draws out the mess I made I could smell your sweet hair across the room like sunflowers although you were buried by the booming, pounding showers are you just a dream? ....

it's summer you met all the critters of the forest they all laughed when you shook their little hands and it made me feel like a shiny dime of god its summer we waited till the police turned their backs we turned into the silver fishes we were pretending not to be and we never got caught I opened my eyes to find you sitting there like a stray cat cause all of my memories of you haven't happened yet oh yeah oh yeah its summer i cut the chord and loosed on the horizon on train tracks that were made of smiling pythons i was trembling like a marble rolling down its almost summer i arrived at platform nine and three fourths swimming past cold faces I can't lean on but you were still in bed with your eyes wide open I opened my eyes to find you sitting there like a stray cat cause all of my memories of you haven't happened yet oh yeah oh yeah

the daydreamer's hollow hand fell right on me once again but I'm not afraid of him I was lonely anyways his head's as soft as the dark side of the moon when comes the night so when he gets sad he brings me there and takes me for a ride SO I FOUND THE CRACKED SKULL OF A FLOWER!!!!! AND I SPRINKLED IT ON YOUR SWEET SMELLING HEAD!!!!!! AND WHEN THE SNOW FELL LIKE A SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!! WE WATCHED IT ALL COLLECT ON THE FLOOR FROM UNDER MY BED!!!!!!!!!! he took my through a glowing tube out of the jingle jungle's cruel and I lost my feet there was nothing to catch us there and each time a cymbal sounds a spright of birds just fly around so I sang his name out loud he said he'd love me anyways SO I FOUND THE CRACKED SKULL OF A FLOWER!!!!! AND I SPRINKLED IT ON YOUR SWEET SMELLING HEAD!!!!!! AND WHEN THE SNOW FELL LIKE A SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!! WE WATCHED IT ALL COLLECT ON THE FLOOR FROM UNDER MY BED!!!!!!!!!!

.... will you leave me behind? I've been left to die in the bathtub countless times before, oh yeah will you leave me alone as I set out on the dying road? cause I just wanna be a wheel but I don't wanna feel that your heart was shining through your eyes last night it was alright your heart was shining through your eyes last night it was alright are you afraid of the ticking clock? light it up with my tinder box and watch the minute hand slow down and fall off will you leave me behind as I walk alone past the blank road signs? but it's okay cause I'll remember how your heart was shining through your eyes last night it was alright your heart was shining through your eyes last night it was alright

brain cells 04:40
Reach into the ocean and pull you out Or I could pretend that I never heard you shout I could come back someday And find out what will happen to me I could pull the moon down from the sky And the day that chickens learn to fly I will hop on their wings, And they will let me out Some say the earth is an egg that is defected and dead And the moon just hasn’t quite hatched yet When it does they will leave And be sent by the sun to bed Struck me on the head Brain cells floating ‘round your bed But you can’t sleep because you know, You’ll soon be dead I could never see Why you were always chasing after me My imagination as you can see, Is nothing more than fiction Yellow birds were once hiding in each painting Now their down in the mines, waiting just waiting For another crack in the wall, Their walls soon crack around them Back when neighbors made a carpet out of the ground Well he knocked me around, that’s how I learned to see each sound Now I can’t hear the sweet sound Or her voice in the night When they fly off, I won’t stand to But I will make enough room for you I hope you’re ready, for what the birds are goanna tell you Throw your hand to me, What are you waiting for? Look at the wings What are you waiting for? I could never see Why you were always chasing after me My imagination as you can see Is nothing more than fiction Struck me on the head Brain cells floating ‘round your bed But you can’t sleep because you know, You’ll soon be dead Look at the wings, what was I waiting for I’m staring at the sky, followed by the ground What was I waiting for?
