Dread and Vision

1.
Legs spread, shoulder-width apart, With a look like I've already won I don't try so hard anymore, I just play the game and don't fear the ball Keep an eye on the seasons, for selfish reasons They can't block so we're driving through Keep low and dig into Steer clean - hands off as you go Slide forward for that final blow Hoping you're okay - you seem just fine, In the future we'll try to keep you out of our collective minds Haunted by what's right and can't be said, So we're sleeping tucked in sorries and goodbyes

Infantile projections of textbook confessions, Would the bird called Life take flight from my lips, I've seen what happens when our time ticks down to zero: The instrument of time rewinds itself. "My purest heart for you" is one I've yet to taint with brain, I clean the crusted blood beneath my nails. "To connive" is a pejorative for "hope for" We're falling through on things and lack sheer will. My mind knows, when the questions start to overflow It's time for bed, then all is dreams again. Lashings of compulsive dispossession, Affinity dismantled by the will. It's acceptable to plunge in your disquiet when Private Hell sounds just like this. See I like to think of life as a ball hung at the end of a rope made to swing by the divine hand of Chance. No matter how you push towards the good times, it's wise to know it swings both ways. When I see smiles, they don't seem kind. When I hear a laugh, I also see where the finger's pointed at. Awake again. Alive too long. I've said it's fine, this dread and hope.

Far Out 03:09
I bleed youth. Drink up, don't let it die. In time, you're good as new and I look through half an eye. I lose sight of you. (It) took so long, to get to where we were. But I know of nothing strong enough to make us change our minds. Call me tonight, Inside we're beautiful - it's true. Traverse the skies, Over a dozen clouds - we're out of this hole. Call me tonight, Inside we're beautiful, it's true. Traverse the skies, We look so wild and cool - far out of this world.
