Autopilot
your first trip to the moon
swimming free in an ocean of sky
when the engines fired, you held your breath
you gave your best
you gave your best
near arcturus you fell asleep
and plowing the void you had a dream
that you were someone else in some other life
and then you awoke
and started to choke
hiding in the deep: a distance you keep
let me get away
you watched coma slip away
and then crashed in a pasture that you knew
and as your crawled under the glowing night
you knew it was alright
you knew it was alright
Letter
i found myself
lost and lonely
staring out
at a new sky
before the dawn
of a twin sun burning holes into the ground
i found myself alone
i wrote you back
and the letter's here inside my pocket
i just don't know how long it'll take
cause honestly
i'm a little farther north then I had said
I'm actually a star away
i should have listened
when you told me to stay
so say hello to the milky way
i should have listened
but i heard the words i wanted me to hear
so say hello to the milky way
so how are you?
do you still command the oceans with your smile
and do you still remember me?
are you afriad?
do you miss the way I held you in the rain?
i haven't seen a drop in days (they're longer here)
i should have listened
when you told me to stay
so say hello to the milky way
i should have listened
but i heard the words i wanted me to hear
so say hello to the milky way
i'm drowning in the sorrow
suffocating maybe the air is different
changing moons, changing moods
nothing works for me, works for me
i'm never satisfied
i'm not afraid
no, i'm not afraid
Break
break
you don't run away
you escape
and that's the way we see it
shake
you don't feel ashamed
you equate
and forget you see it
where do you think you're going?
who knows wrong from right
you don't run away
yeah you fight
and that's the way you see it
handcuffed man damn animal
yeah you can't get away
they got you this time
kill this alien
where do you think you're going?
anywhere i damn well please
Paperback
people are like paperbacks
they're perfect till you open up their pages
beginning and the ending
and the creases imperfecting where it matters
these people with their corners sharpened
wonder if they've ever left the shelf
i'll take them down and look them over
see if there's a word there worth a damn
so
my mark of gold
can i hide you in this page
while i crawl
up your fabric and escape
the moment that he realized
he wasn't any more than just a volume
floating in a band of asteroids
with no one out there he could read to
so
my mark of gold
can i hide you in this page
while i crawl
up your fabric and escape
no
i will not hold
while the story's still untold
so you say
i'll abandon this today
once upon a time
machines to prove you right
once upon a time
Frame
you're out of this world
you're no gravity
no atmosphere
my skin boiling
and if i come back down
it won't be the same
i'll burn up inside
and i'll melt away
i'll melt away
in a vacuum
i see your face
in the steady glow
of an endless space
and if i come back down
i might not recall
what's beyond the void
or what's real at all
what's real at all?
when stars collide
they emulate
a passing glance
from a perfect face
that somehow arrives
at the chosen place
where i don't deserve
to receive the gaze
to receive the gaze
through a black hole
you'll slip away
and i'll watch you pull
through an endless frame
and as i follow you
the light won't escape
as it tells the tale
of my endless chase
of my endless chase
Holocene
meet me in space where the air is clean
the earth, it looks so green
the dying light of the holocene
i pull me away from the oxygen gauge
cause we don't need to breathe if we don't even believe
