Colorado

Lit like a firecracker exploding in the breeze as I run uphill to find anything better
Give me a chance please as I’m turned away again left with pockets full of nothing and despair
Will I be going there without you / this doesn’t fit into a plan
If I take that job in Colorado / I’ll probably never see your face again
Started to pack my things I wonder what stuff I should bring on this never ending mission to be useful
I’ll leave the pink slip here along with my family dear as I look for something like a silver lining
What I find instead is simply frightening
The clock keeps ticking away my odds get longer each minute I stay will someone answer when I call
Just a tool for someone to use manipulate and abuse to be thrown away when they find something
cheaper

Communication
04:37

Why does something so pointless carry so much meaning take so much effort may affect your future ... disproportionately
Drowning in white noise confusing signals make a good impression
I don’t know
What do I do now what do I say nails on the blackboard all of this chatter ... just go away ...
I don’t know how this nonessential communication is just how things are done
nonessential communication
Awkward glance at faces silence interrupted Hiding in the hallway running out the front door ... It’s all in my head ....

Liquid

Pull yourself together It’s more than just the weather
As liquid seeps into spaces dry it makes for a restless night
Watching as it rises Dreading the surprises
that wait beneath the stairwell where the floor was once bone dry
Feel the pressure changing it slaps you in the face
Details are unsteady Lost
Liquid goes where and when it wants to
Liquid flows into all the places it’s not supposed to
How high will it go now do we have the know how
To take everything and make it safe when there is no high ground
Come in for the landing there’s no point in pretending
Water wings are what you’ll need when the shore is no longer dry
Watching the horizon up all of the night
Clarity of purpose Lost
Leaden skies surround you congealing within sight
The pools grow ever larger overnight
The once-solid ground on which you stand sags under your own weight
As you look through blurry eyes it’s too late

Inertia
03:54

Driving down a dusty road in a sleepy small town every morning is the same Didn’t say goodbye only reason why I’ll do it again tomorrow
Inertia set me up to see the stars again Complex motion following an arc from here to who knows when It’s such an elegant dance to be except for the disconnected end and it’s over in a moment
Driver never slowed crashing steel and glass blurred vision wrapped in flame violent motion tumbling trees mark an undefined horizon that’s breaking like the ocean
I grip the wheel, disoriented, my consciousness starts to fade away revealing an inner peace, that slowly slips into a dream. I see my life go flashing by, but I fight to stay awake.
Flashing red lights never said goodbye will I ever be the same
I can’t walk away out of my control deep wounds are not apparent
I’ll do it again tomorrow

Piece of the Sun
03:08

(Let’s) take a walk to the river we could watch the water flow by
Search the banks for a treasure could it be one of a kind
I know a place where we can keep this
It could be our little secret
Our own piece of the sun
(Into the chomosphere)
We could search the world over and never find another
Put the pieces back together never in the same order
I know a place where we once kept this
Is it still our little secret?
