Let Your Hands Go

Like a body of water skipped upon by rocks,
This ripple effect will bridge the small divide
Between airplanes in oceans and boats in the sky
This atmosphere takes my breath away
How many more days?
I ask you to stay
It's too late, we're in pieces
You can be direct with me
You had too much to say and you lost me
Never ending telephone ring
I'd speak, but this atmosphere takes my breath away
How many more days?
I ask you to stay
It's too late, we're in pieces
Swing and sway
It's too late, we're in pieces

Sharing Air

...and I trust you completely
The solace of sincerity encouraging me
I passively sat on that passing thought
How long's too long from now?
Cultivating my specialty, waiting and waiting
Our time is running out
For sunrise behind, above and beyond me
Your eyes are like fire
I smile as they burn me
Sharing air up in outer space
You have my oxygen
It's like walking on eggshells that weren’t put away, away
Awaiting your savings to spread faster than this incandescent blaze
How long's too long from now?
Investments set aflame to the seven dirty words and a "have a nice day"
Our time is running out
For sunrise behind, above and beyond me
Your eyes are like wine
I smile as they kill me
All my breath I wasted on you

Don't hold your breath
The best you'll ever be is a wild guess
This paperclip is holding my thoughts together
In a torn manila folder on your desk
Dream with me,
You turn me down so sweetly
Anything I say won't change your mind anyway
Anything I do won't bring me back to you
You're grown up
You're settled down but I'm around
If speaking up would be pulling us together
Then I know that you would never make a sound
Dream with me,
You turn around so sweetly
And anything I say won't change your mind anyway
Anything I do won't bring me back to you

Statues are taking over the scene
Lined up like traffic in the morning
The insignificance of shaking hands with you
Reminds me of the deadbolt door that's enclosing me
Let me in
Redundancy over and over and over and over again
Press send on these documents
Pencil or pen?
The sky is falling but I don’t know when
The deadbolt door that's enclosing me will never let me in
Redundancy over and over and over and over again
Because you wouldn't care if I didn’t exist
I've said enough
I should have said nothing at all
This deadbolt door is dividing us by zero
And I wouldn't care if it didn't exist
I wouldn't care if you didn’t exist

Captives

Innocent prisoners try to leave
And I think that you can save me
The policy here is open door on a closed course
Because you know what I don’t
I admit I can't escape this
No more writing hieroglyphics
Wishing upon our subconscious, superstitious time traveling postmark
Go ahead, go back to the start
It's not far
You're taking longer than a line at a theme park
But I say if you feel the same way
Forget the rest, you can try to let me in
Innocent prisoners try to leave
I think that you can save me
Because you know what I don’t
I admit I can't escape this
You can try but you won’t succeed
You're telling me that I can't escape this
No more writing hieroglyphics
Wishing upon our subconscious, superstitious time traveling postmark
No, illuminate what you find too dark
You're taking longer than a line at a theme park
But I say if you feel the same way
Hedge your bets, you can let me in

So It Goes

The truth about your lies is that you are one
Every hour brings me closer
I don’t want you to ever stop communicating
Until this evil is illegal, I’ll be waiting
Away from here is where we need to be
The end is justified by the means
Lost steam and gasoline on my hands
Turn back
I don’t know if I can trust a person who’s a salesman of ennui
I know when you look at me
Away from here is where we need to be
The end is justified by the means
And I have what you want
I throw it away June through May
You compare apples and oranges
