Visitors

Light up all the dark corners now
I’m awake and overwhelmed by sound
Vision quested, learned lessons
Kind of like there’s a way out of my head
Show me what is if that’s not some kind of death
Thought you’d find indestructible design
In a version of me for you
Now you watch it go at alarming intervals
Do you think there’s such a place as home?
How do we define the worse it gets?
Is there still time to not happen yet?
We take a drive to the center, but the center moves again
On the way home, talk about the day we had
And that we’re bound to forget
Thought you’d find indestructible design
In a version of me for you
Now we watch it go at alarming intervals
Do you think there’s such a place as home?
Thoughts that splinter, landscapes flicker
Recall only the last time
Moving forward, steady as an arrow
Through lives that aren’t mine
Interrupt the silence, calculate the mileage
I think we don’t know much of anything
