lyrics

The weeds are growing
through the screen on the back porch
the yard is full of land mines
broken bottles, buried bones and empty holes

The dust is rising up to meet us
fans are circulating
breath and signals crossed
to recreate a language we misunderstood

I reconsider you
while I rest drowning in the brightest blue
We build it up and take away
The patterns pounded into shapes
that look like you but melt away

The moths are swarming
towards a place that's warm
I think I'd do the same except for darkness
and forgivness
Broken bones and heavy weather
Things we do while under pressure
all the time that fills this space
If you were here would I even
recognize your face

Addictions and distractions
are all the same when you wake up
in the morning
just to find
that I have not come home...
