lyrics

Stagger back and bump your head,
Take a few of these and go back to bed.

I feel what i’ve felt in a past life.
Appreciate the slow subtle lifting of time.

It could have been one of those million things,
To make me stop in the pouring rain,
But I saw your ghost in the gutter screaming,
Don’t wait for me your eyes are too heavy.

Huddle words for a meaning thought.
Show me life before the culture shock.
A comatose and your turning lose,
the fruitful fly dead inside of you.

Perhaps outside the sun will shine,
In the golden sun I confide,
But just my luck my eyes do find,
That what was day has returned to night.

Walking forward with my head on the ground,
I look up at the moon, and the moon frowns down,
For where am I so poor and drowned,
To find some shelter in such a town?

The last step remaining in my legs,
Had led me no where but straight ahead,
Atlas, my luck! Those weary limbs strayed.
To the only place for a day like today.

Out her door ran lights calmly heated,
That her face only shone once the flame receded.
In her arms I lay a body so beaten,
A hug. A laugh. was all I needed.

How come the words I speak so well to myself
Rarely come out through my mouth

-unter & obbie
