about

lyrics

"The solidity of things surprises me, then hark! A sunbeam!
Just like Margritte, slick knife smoothed streets, sun bouncing off; kinda looks like fish-eye to me.
These seem like new places--don't feel the comfort familiarity brings.
Watching walls, can't tell if they're stucco; what if we're in europe but i was never told?

Once again sealed in--cellophane ain't got nothing on me so sleep is closing in; more or less a gentle snowfall blanketing my head...
And when I dream I'll be greeted by nothing--just great white noise... and when I sleep I'll be visited by sorrow--that old friend that comes weekly.

Hallucinations, I've missed a few, but many could greet as old friends.
Jacky with crossed legs sits in the back as Pa salutes Helios, but I'm far too gone...

I wish I could seduce like the recluse spins its genetic web, but my warps and wefts have gotten tangled and torn.
Damn shame I can't just weave with keratin, it's my best feature--too bad, too bad, too bad it's not real gold...

Majesty lines streak as crows feet and I too salute Helios in all his crowning glory.
Ah! We can sense the clover, mares eat oats and does eat oats and we simply eat the ivy.
And when I dream I'll be greeted by nothing--just great white noise... and when I sleep I'll be visited by sorrow--that old friend that visits weekly..."
