you’re sleeping & sinking in the bed sheets: you’re underwater, every time you close your eyes you’re sinking under the water you’re lying underneath the covers & you’re lying under your breath that this isn’t real, it’s just a dream holding your mouth open in open waters you’re lying underneath the covers, & you’re lying under your breath that this isn’t real, it’s just a dream

your head's up in the clouds, but you're waking up on the ground you don't know now who or where you were before you've worked real hard to remember your past, but you don't remember where you last left off your head's up in the clouds, but you're waking up on the ground you wish you knew now what it was that you were looking for your life's a series of events that are becoming less & less current hurry up before you get caught under the current bop bop, boppity ba twenty seven years of digging, walking, waiting, watching how many steps does it take to find out where you started? i guess twenty seven more years will go just as fast you don't know now who or where you were before & is it a past life that you've been cycling towards if your heads up in the clouds, well, then what the hell is your body doin' down on the ground? bop bop, boppity ba

in the cold morning air, our breath is dancing on the dew & the words we were exchanging, they were all true although they seemed like fairy tales, they were all we knew in the morning on the front lawn, in the morning on your front lawn the streetlights are all burned out, & the pavement is unpredictable the cracks that are suppose to break your mothers back instead bend your ankle & as i carry you the rest of the way home, you joke & say, that i am in shining armor, & i say that you are shining in my arms to guide us home home, we're going home because the world spins, & it spits us out, & you don't want to float alone yeah, the world spins, & it spits us out, & i don't want to float alone & underneath the covers, we are holding sideways conversations we're thinking about everything out, & what we don't know, we'll find out, or we'll just wonder about it together together, we are together because the world spins, & it spits us out, & we don't want to float alone well, when the world spins, & spits us out, we will be floating together

i'll fin a way to make a map out of our life so that happiness will be easier to find the veins on my forearms, they liken to rivers on a map & so i get out my marker, & i begin to mark & i hope that i can find my way back we went so many places, & we did so many things, but the feelings we had are the only things that i can't locate so i found a way to make a map out of our life when i found they veins on my forearms were like rivers on a map & i got out my marker, but as i marked i found that i couldn't find the feelings, & i couldn't find you: i couldn't find what matters most, & it doesn't matter anymore that we went so many places, & we did so many things because the feelings we had are the only things that i can't locate

here come the in-between, all the in-between dizzy in disbelief, dancing with in-betweens here come the in-between, all the in-between feelings, & day dreams a lily & a stream another in-between a summer reverie another in-between dizzy in disbelief, dancing with in-betweens here come the in-between, all the in-between feelings, & daydreams there go the in-betweens they drift into memories

don't forget 03:15
& don't forget what a grain of sand is, when it's left alone don't forget what a shooting star is, when it falls unknown don't forget a lily & a stream; a summer reverie & all this time that i've spent in my head counting miles before they're tread i'm losing sleep, & i'm losing me, i'm losing meaning
8.
the flowers all bleed pesticide, & i'm not sure that i care to know why the flowers all bleed pesticide (goodness knows) the flowers all bleed pesticide (what we don't) & it's making it so hard not to cry (blindness shows) the flowers all bleed pesticide (what we won't) when the world ends who's going to blame this? who's going to feel this? who's going to hear this? who's going to feel this? & when the world ends, will it end forever? (goodness know what we don't) the flowers all bleed pesticide (blindness shows) the flowers all bleed pesticide (what we won't) & i am dying to find out why (goodness knows) the flowers all bleed pesticide (what we don't)
9.
over our heads & under the sky, live the in between feelings where angels collide.

the time it takes to let go, is the time it takes to grow old.

all the in between feelings & daydreams (a lily & a stream; a summer reverie)

i'm afraid of being too tired; i want to listen to what the ocean has to say come under the sky, & watch the stars form a treble clef come, & wonder why i'm afraid of being too tired the ocean is talking, & it's spilling its guts but is enough ever really enough? i'm afraid of being too tired stand underneath the trees stand underneath here, in disbelief, dear i'm afraid that i've grown too tired
14.
over our heads & under the sky, the in between feelings where angels collide some people look up & some people look down, but no matter what, we're all here on the ground underneath the streetlights, & in between the puddles, there we are, walking in a huddle, & there is nothing to say, because sometimes it's just perfect that way & when i forget you not, i remember the thoughts that i never thought to say aloud, but she'll never hear me now as the dawn breaks & fixes you, my heart breaks, watching you the rain came down & it washed away the message that she wrote in chalk yesterday: & it was asking for the past back, but the endings are never ending
