lyrics

We watch you run, our favorite son
an inescapable collector reaches us
his hands faced up
but you were gone by then, our lives left in your dust
if you wait,
I'll lie beside you like I'm lying in a grave
I saw what you turned into
you have mastered what this student couldn't do.

So glasses up, a job well done
a memory erased completely
then reborn, the new skin feels worn
high evolution, almost human in your clothes
as time moved forward
it made you lose your mind to watch the scene unfold
nothing takes course without some force
I couldn't bridle you, you weren't mine to control.

Sunday night between La Branch and Caroline
we absorb the streetlight, watching the moon wax
unaware of the nightmare taking root
would you have warned me if you could have seen the aftermath
it might not matter to you
you are only passing through
I feel your absence in waves, coming from your room

Another time perhaps, when I get back on my feet
I cant surmount it, but we cant try a little more
there isn't nothingness in the whisper on the phone
but you keep looking for the spark there was before
it might not mean much to you
all that I ever do, I do for you.

You are the river
the limbless body spitting me out
and the turn of the final card
a gasp under your breath as it all falls apart
a lifted night
a Roman holiday, I'm glad I was alive
anger won't pave a way
to understanding what I was before you came.
