lyrics

In the soupy mist of heaven
That we already have lived in
Is it fair to say that we were ours?

Gaze into a mirror mocking
Every action you conceive of
Rehearse a line you might repeat.

Weave your fingers with a persons
You might have might just recently
And say alone out loud "it is real."

Is it real?

When you step up on a vessel
With no option of operating,
Recline, it either breaks or it doesn't.

Arrive alone in some damn station,
Who knows someone, anybody,
That knows someone with a will and drive.

Come and get me, come and scoop me,
Open every door that blocks me,
Defending her odd wrongs felt right.

Is it right?

Whole lives flashed before our little
Cameras that capture the frames
Passing as moments in our eyes.

She and I were Double Helix;
Completing every twist and focus
That makes spiral staircase escalate.

She and I were Double Helix;
Connecting all the spades and trenches
Making lattice latter climb a point.

What's the point?

Growing old and aching combined
In one thing like two legs of jeans
As the waste makes it a pair.

Orthopedic shoes are something
That I think you would look nice in
If I can hold out to see you wear 'em.

Not worried about the ancient ruins
Our souls reside in,
It Either Breaks or It Doesn't.

Does it?
