lyrics

oh god, when the numb from the ice that I melt from my thoughts
turns my sleeves into cardboard
my shirt tends to tear at the seams, and my sleeves
they tend to sail away

down that stream in the street where the curb and ground meet
and the bugs are the birds in the sky
the world will not see as my new paper fleet
finds a new secret place to unhide

we are sunken ships held at bay

twice now and you're down
undo the undone for now
but what's left?

the wings are unrelenting
they tug at the heart
as the days gray the eyes of the dogs
they beat and they beat and the sound, sleeping comfort of love

they make a thought force a smile
and knowing they fly
'round the untrue ruminations of my mind

we are sunken ships held at bay

oh, didn't you know that the only way for you to see
a face in the dark like this is with your eyes?
my brain is a playground and I don't know what to do
it spins and swings and it slides around you
Jack left his scooter there, waddling helmet hair


I passed by a heavy fence
full of some greyhounds' necks stretched
and those kids, they never moved a stepped
the man with the wheels on his feet can now sing to me
anytime of the week, anytime that you please
house has plastic roots, the children all have moved

so this is what I've become
so this is what you've become
