Stretched.

Lightning on my way home
The blood vessels of the sky
My wipers are on, but there's no rain yet
Still I can feel it on the wind.

Got to keep this music blasting
Got to feel it in my heels
Because I've got this kid's sock in my backpack, you see
And I nearly ran off the road just because I thought it was you
A canoe strapped to the top
Have fun, whoever you are

Sister's thoughts in my head
It's time
I took some food for thought
It might be poison
It's time

That the powerful play goes on --

Lightsleepers.

Well, you're in my head
But you're not in my heart

And this place, it's in my lungs
But it's not in my heart

You, though, you're in my heart.
But you're not in my eyes --

Perpendicular.

Always in the top left corner
Just please stay right there
And to my brain,
Please stay right there

A perpendicular anchor.
The only thing I want to see
Yet I know what it means
When I see one passing on the road
A thousand roses
Yet this is no common rose.

A pain that comes from pulling out the drip.
This shirt smells like rain
The air of my bedroom welcomes me with a goodbye
I will sleep well tonight.

Lukewarm.

The water's running but it won't get warm.
Yet I keep standing here as my soul shivers
Pleading for heat to arrive
While I know I'm doing nothing but wrinkling my skin.

Creases on my temples
Streaks under my eyes
And I'll always remember
This is what happens
When you wait on something that isn't coming.

You.

I have lost myself in you.
Laughing as red hair and dark lines dissolve in salt water
Touching moments and riding waves
Learning how to jump again

I have lost myself in you.
And I'm finally finding the truth
Seeking, leaving behind
Fear
Sprinting through curtains and canyons
Tripping over my own feet

I have lost myself in you.
You're beyond every color I dream
Beyond every word I sing
Every fiber of every breath I breathe

I will watch you drive until we find the end of this road.
