lyrics

You’ve faked every dream you’ve ever had.
It’s been a long night, but now it’s passed.
Day-old light is all you’ll find—
looking back you’ll wish you were blind…

The sun sets in my room, rises in yours.
You turn the light out and close the door.
We were old as we are young—
my past on the tip of your tongue…

I can’t remember a time without amnesia…

Your venus fly trap eyelids
closing down on me ever since.
Horizons yawn, we fall asleep—
our nightly comas all too brief…

Skydiving onto your mattress,
that’s how you felt.
With satellite-dish contact lenses
you gaze out into yourself…

Last night you had the strangest dream…

Forever went into sudden-death overtime.
You strung clouds with Christmas lights,
a long way left yet to climb
back down the ladder from the edge,
skydiving onto your mattress—

I don’t believe a word you said…
