lyrics

Yellow flashing late night sparks
Traffic control
anti-gold
ignored,
rolled,
ran through.
Think of how I was told
I could just come home
but the streets look all the same
there as they do here,
and I forgot the landmarks late last year.

Things won't get much better sometime soon,
But by forever I'll feel something new.

I saw a new stranger
In a dream last night
Who looked as though
they loved me all their life
I said we should marry
just to get divorced
I long for the feeling of loss
can you bring that too?
Their hands dissolved into sand
and the desert grew.

Things won't get much better sometime soon,
But by forever I'll feel something new.

The sinking sands
Hold me in my place,
But from here
I can feel the warm waves
I don't want to stay up late anymore
cause bright days are at my door.

I wish the sky was clear
and the moon invisible
Then when I stare into space I could see it too
Watch the flittering little embers
It's a candle lit graveyard
I could bring gasoline to catch their spark
But the amber waves just extinguish the stars.
