lyrics

I place myself among my shells
the silence soothes me
in that space I try to make out shapes
just to taste the thoughts that are resting
back there behind my eyes

the days all fold into one
as the delicate sceneries stretch out before me
with images magnified and bright
behind my eyes

threads extend and suspend fresh webs of color
joining near with not so near
so I can call across the distance
behind my eyes

there's a dull shuffling outside
I break my watch and burn the clocks to stay
but the dark and damp corridors of my mind
are waiting to spiral down
and around in waves
of gathering beggar's ticks growing into me
to blind my eyes

I place myself among my shells
the silence swamps me
in that space I try to find a trace
of the taste that drew me in here
so I can inch through this haze
behind my eyes
