lyrics

a dream, I can’t recall

fold the raven lungs up into swans
to exhale the doves, still sung a sparrow song
the head will spin, again and again
all the way around and it thinks
“I can see it all”

wake up too slowly
to remember what would
make it make sense
since I sit on it
until it’s all too cryptic
gradient white
until not even the tar remains
there was never any aviary
there was never any sanctuary
the birds were just blurs
and were not how they seemed
the notes that they’d sing
would loop and resonate
but were never actually heard
all is all is a backdrop
with a back that just drops

rehearse the moments
once again, and again
die in all the dialogue
still brushing the onion skin, again
the eyes start to wade
it begins, again
my sweet green tracer
my beloved, eraser
spin my head around, again and again
and I’ll think
“I can see it all”

we only exist
after the facts
a dream, I can’t recall

you only exist
where I’ve been
a dream, I can’t recall
