Evaporate

You say the light hurts your eyes
So you hang around in the dark
You’re so afraid of silence
All you do is talk and talk
And all your words evaporate
Like rain on a hot sidewalk
You get so tired of feeling bad
And you go out for a walk
And you get your body moving
And you think some happy thoughts
And all your thoughts evaporate
Like rain on a hot sidewalk
You watch it all evaporate
Where is the lover
Who will watch you like a hawk
And hover over every word like a fruit fly
When you talk
Until their love evaporates
Like rain on a hot sidewalk
Evaporate
(simply cease to exist now)
Evaporate
(no chance to resist now)
Evaporate
(drift with the mist now)
Evaporate
(I can see that you’re sold now)
Evaporate
(There’s no form to hold now)
Evaporate
(‘cause it’s time to unfold now)

Turning
02:47

I'm turning into you
And I'm going to take your place
Won't you be surprised when I take your face away
He's turning into her
Like we always knew he would
The very moment that he could
She's turning into him
But it's hard to see just why
'Cause he's such an unimportant guy
You're turning into me
And it's going to be OK
I really haven't been myself anyway
We're turning into them
Take a picture before we fade
Into the forgotten face parade
They're turning into us
As they always seem to do
But I'll be coming back to turn into you

A Love so Old and Sad
02:48

Hold me closer to your heart
Let me know we’ll never be apart for long,
My Love.
Hold me closer to your heart
Though this world has turned so bad
There’s a reason that my weary heart
Can still be glad
There’s a love so old and sad
If you meet me in your dreams
Please remember this is always
Where I am and where I’ve been
Always felt but never seen
Though this world has turned so bad
There’s a reason that my weary heart
Can still be glad
There’s a love so old and sad
I wish could keep you safe
From the Violence and Madness
And stupidity and hate
I’m afraid there’s no escape
Though this world has turned so bad
There’s a reason that my weary heart
Can still be glad
There’s a love so old and sad

The Middle Distance
03:33
|

|
You're losing track of time and the passing years
When in the middle distance, a vision appears
It vaguely resembles a version of you
But it's big and it's bright and in flight
And it's you
You've learned to avoid and deny and ignore
While holding tight to something that isn't yours
Imagine the best or the worst, it's up to you
But sooner or later it all comes true
Come on, shake off the veil of fear
Come on, the thing you've always avoided is here
So come on, the treasure you're guarding is already gone
Come on, you've got a beautiful face
Come on, you've been frozen in place for too long
So come on

strangled by a vine in your sleep
up you jump awake just in time
if you can't rely on your senses
senselessness will be your friend
rely on the kindness of nothing
no one here to (take your hand?)
if you can't rely on a strangler
at least you can depend on your hand
up you jump with your brain on fire
you feel so heavy but you
JUMP ON UP NOW
no one there to lie beside you
only a HAG TO RIDE YOU

we will carry you
03:34
|
|||
|
I have been here before
I have never been here before
And I recognize that angel
Keeping vigil by the door
She’s the one what came from deep space
She’s the one what gave me this face
Put the big machine in motion
That would carry me to this place
we will carry you
we will carry you
over the threshold
over the threshold

I am from Far
03:42
|

|
We try so hard
to be where we are
But you're from Near
and I am from Far
I raise the stakes,
you lower the bar
'Cause you're from Near
and I am from Far
We try so hard
to be who we are
But you're from Near
and I am from Far
All's made of love
and everyone's a star
But you're from Near
and I am from Far
Soon after I started talking
I found there was nothing left to say
And if you quit halfway into the beginning
can the end really be that far away?
