lyrics

open the blinds, alight our eyes
pleading for time while they pry our sights
keeping in line while we lose our minds
leaping to die when our words lack flight

open the blinds and make our travels
counting new lines as we unravel
keeping in line with our minds; not quite right, pleading our “why?”s

and our "where did our time go?"
––torn and mangled through our song

but do we know our own?
and could we even know our own?
our thoughts are caught inside a box beside the telephone
and do we even know our own?



and open the blinds, alight my lines
ceaseless as time derides my trying
keeping in line, my mind not quite right
speaking awry if they move their eyes

but open the blinds and break these shadows
useless as i unmade our battles
keeping on time our minds lost in light filling our eyes

and all our “where did our minds go?”
––a cut to pin a record on

but do we know our home?
and could we even know a home?
our thoughts are caught inside a box beside the telephone
and do we even know a home?


all the dawn’s unshifting angles
every story is a fable
(oh... so it goes?
… oh, heaven knows!!)
