Past And Future Ruins - Thursday[00:00:00]
Hold your hand to the fire[00:01:09]
And your eyes to the sky[00:01:12]
Just different shades of cellophane[00:01:17]
Taped against the lights [00:01:20]
Faulty seams drawn on plastic leaves[00:01:24]
Past and future replicas[00:01:31]
Past and future streams[00:01:34]
Hold your head underwater[00:01:37]
And try to see if you can breathe[00:01:41]
Or if you drown in the shallow[00:01:44]
Depths of your belief[00:01:48]
Because somewhere there must be a better place[00:01:52]
Here you call to your neighbor[00:01:58]
Only to see the track is set and they're[00:02:00]
Walking back and forth in a circle[00:02:03]
Saying the same words[00:02:05]
Making their lips sync[00:02:07]
In time with psalms on Sunday mornings[00:02:08]
And all their hearts align with pale fire[00:02:15]
So call a paper ambulance[00:02:27]
To trace the paper cuts[00:02:30]
Don't call on me I'm a plastic reed[00:02:33]
Bending in the feigning wind[00:02:41]
Of artificial fields[00:02:44]
Then you read the paper[00:02:48]
Of a woman's early death[00:02:51]
A note explaining why she left[00:02:56]
It says:[00:03:01]
"Somewhere there must be a better place[00:03:02]
And it's marked with the fountain I've seen[00:03:08]
Glowing in my sleep "[00:03:15]
So you want to die and leave this shadow land behind[00:03:19]
To eviscerate the truth from the lie[00:03:23]
Cause somewhere there must be a better place[00:03:30]
But what we thought was a fountain of life and light[00:03:36]
Turns out to be a mountain crushing down upon us [00:03:39]
Casting its shadow closing the distance[00:03:43]
Between us and Babylon[00:03:45]
And all our songs[00:03:47]
Are just the sounds of past and future days[00:03:49]
Past of future names[00:03:54]
Collapsing around us[00:03:59]
