I've never been over the top
but I got to keep myself elevated
above the architecture though I find myself between collapsing
The heavens open up
Let me grab my stuff
In my distress and in my head
and in my consequential death
please interrupt
Come and go oh teardrops
not a thought to second thoughts
warmer air is haunting the other side
oh season, make up your mind
I want to live again
I want to not pull that thread
I am innocent to no one
I've never been over the top
not a thought to what you want
all you need
all you want to see
to be and whatnot
what do you see in me?
garden variety
The heavens open up
You are heaven enough
When I look the other way, another heaven makes its case
Please interrupt
Lackluster
Something or other
I wonder, did I save enough lives last summer?
It's not safe to ponder
It's not safe to wonder

Arpeggio

Nothing takes me back
to my room, my home
quite like that forgotten stone
Thrown away, lifted up
Please, bring me
Films of old, arpeggios
and a yellow road lead me
With what this house was built upon
where oh where would it ever go?
A fairly strong suggestion
muster up that foreign feeling
Lift your voice
Lift up your head
Rejoice in the day the Lord has made
the Lord has made
A few years ago
if you'd ask me
I'd say I don't know
but today I've seen all through which I've been sustained

Oh handiwork
Oh machine
A marvelous feat
Destroy everything
I still feel small
though my kids are gone
I know they'll go far
across the yard

Rocket Science

Worn out pieces tire
I need new parts, new wires
The family's been gone a while
but I still have dreams of causing the house to catch fire
It's my function, the way I run
Frustrated cool air, sparks start flying
Stuck in a stupid wall
I like being here
Forgotten all about
They were made to waste
We were built to waste away
Mechanical nature, the way it is
Scared the hell out of me as a kid
Well it's not rocket science
It's just a worthless kitchen appliance
