lyrics

Tell me that I slept forever
I don't wanna know if I've
Come and gone.
Right about now or never
There's a place beyond.
Tele-pain refrain but don't strain
Your plastic brain it goes
Up in flames.
Keep the fire in the fire
Place where it belongs.

Tell me that I've gone to flower
And that every part is being used
Of the body that we cared for
You me
I you.
I don't know if you have noticed this
But the billboards that speak to us
Are becoming more judgemental
With every year.

And it's all about where
The line breaks slowly
Down and bleeds
As the time washes over me.
People call and they ask me why
I saw you there
I saw you there.
Anyway for a better time
I been there too
I been there too.

When I left my house
I was six feet tall
Now I'm just below five-nine.
Must be the weight of the world
Cuz I lost my head
And I'm fractured by the skyline.
Now though the moments
Go so slow
You're already left behind.
They poured the pavement
In the womb
And there's nothing left inside.

A token of age
Spent by the youth
Comes at the cost of pride.
The light and the chorus
Leaves your voice
And enters the broken line.
Watching a while
Slipping away,
Dare you become unknown?
The horizon's eyes
Are teaching you
That that's where the fever grows.

See how the noise I have
Has lingered the night away
The moments they can't unbleed
I save.

The dwelling on the baseball diamond
At the middle edge of left field
Is small and bound in places with pieces
Of cloth and rope.
It does not have a covering
But it does have something there.
It will probably be destroyed
When the game begins.

(scream)
