lyrics
I'm still here
at least passing through
and we disappear
then we show up out of the blue
strange landscapes and impossible shapes
melodrama and illusion
the will to escape
dissonance and dust
how'd I get so out of touch?
We've not been waiting long
but I think that we're starting to rust
when you spontaneously burst into flames
you'll see what left of you still remains
I have no time for these moments of weakness
and I've had enough of indulging indifference
sleep walking through this strange translucent existence
what we do won't make sense no matter no difference
I'm not here
least not as far as you're concerned
and the way is unclear
there is no option to return
a path through the woods
and an irrational thought
and a few brief moments when I am and I'm not
consonance and rhyme
times when I've lived dime to dime
I've not been searching long
and I don't know what I'll find
when you spontaneously burst into flames
you'll see what left of you still remains
when you burst into flames
you'll see what's left
and you'll see what left
