remind me of my priorities

I’ll know the way back, if you know the way
But if you are, I am quite alright hiding today

I’ll probably swim through a few lagoons
And I’ll get there soon
To sing you a happy tune, tomorrow

And you better bring a change of clothes
So we can sail our laughing P&Os
Along a beam of light
But I’m quite alright hiding tonight

Feeling the comfort of eyes is your sole intention
We all want to be understood unconditionally
But you have to realize that a viewer needs distance
And the moment your wall melts down - the inside is outside

Maybe way back in the past when people were different,
shortening bonds made them last
Now we emphasize our difference
We have been enrolled one by one for the Peacetime Resistance,
and we’re fighting our battles alone

I can’t explain the state that I’m in
The state of my heart, he was my best friend
Into the car, from the backseat
Oh, admiration in falling asleep

I can tell you the day we were born
My friend is gone, he ran away
I can tell you, I love him each day
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
I can tell you, I love him each day
Terrible sting and terrible storm
I can tell you

Now I can play the victim. It’s fine. I’ve seen it on TV.
But if there’s one thing I know, it’s that I never really know enough.

Their arms are reaching; reach is spreading through the neon glow.
Their mouths are moving, but their voices sound like telephones.
The traffic hums; the traffic grumbles near my old window.
The street lights flicker; glow and hover like suspended snow. 
I used to watch the moon retreat and wonder where it goes.
Now I just wonder why my head is overrun with ghosts

I don’t like like walking around this old and empty house.

I watched you disappear.
All that’s left is a ghost of you.
Now we’re torn, torn, torn apart, 
there’s nothing we can do,
Just let me go, we’ll meet again soon.
