Time For Space

Rest don’t come easy to me
Can’t seem to keep the ground beneath my feet
It’s not the day that makes the night complete
Out here
I couldn’t hear a word that you said
Won’t let me see your face
Showed me your back instead
But words are always wasted when their meanings are unclear
Out here
I don’t need to take care of me right now
I could be something you had never found
But there’s no time for space
There’s no time for space
‘Cause your power power
Tastes so sweet ‘til it gets sour
And if you let me in there’s not much I won’t do
Because I made myself so small for you
I try to get away but stay so near
I’m trying to breathe but I can’t get no air
I would say it all but I wouldn’t dare
In here
Your energy took over me
Kept me so close so quiet trembling
You had my thoughts, my body, and my sleepless worries too
But all I ever seemed to have was half of you
I don’t need to take care of me right now
I could be something you had never found
But there’s no time for space
There’s no time for space
‘Cause your power power
Tastes so sweet ‘til it gets sour
And if you let me in there’s not much I won’t do
Because I made myself so small for you
And I try and I try and I try

We’ll be like floaters in your eyes
After the flash from a camera
We’ll be the thing you can’t deny
And leaves you gaping with a slack jaw
‘Cause when I look at stars
All that I see is your worn face
You’re a bird stuck in the bars who path I can’t trace
And if you watch the stars
Someone said that they will flicker
But the planets shine steady from the start
Don’t ever trick her
Goodbye to static timing that has lingered here
Goodbye to strangers made to disappear
Goodbye to strangers I have left behind
Pinpoints on a map
Mosaics of his mind
And although it’s not its presence
It’s the trace it leaves behind
And behind my eyes it lessens
‘Til it only blurred out lines
And it’s only my impressions that are feeding these transgressions
But now I know that days move on
And of everything I’m seeing only some of it is fleeting
And the rest of it will keep me strong
Why don’t we sit on top of roofs
And let the sun bronze our thin arms
Let the ink give us proof; tell exactly where we are
‘Cause although home’s what grounds us
It’s alone that surrounds us
And though here is where we’re supposed to be
It’s fear that we are comforting
And though beauty isn’t everything I still found it lingering
And though beauty isn’t everything I still found it lingering
So I will look to the east
Though my tin foil telescope
For the girl who loves the least
But laughs with all of her soul
And with my tin can and string
I’ll whisper across the Hudson
And she won’t hear a thing
But at least I told her something
And although it’s not its presence
It’s the trace it leaves behind
And behind my eyes it lessens
‘Til it only blurred out lines
And it’s only my impressions that are feeding these transgressions
But now I know that days move on
And of everything I’m seeing only some of it is fleeting
And the rest of it will keep me strong

Darting on the scene
What does it mean?
Timid over estimations
You can’t confuse this anymore
Darting on the scene
What does it mean?
Only time accumulations, in the nation
You’re coming back to me
I can’t see where I’ve been anymore
My cold feet they wander in the street
Where they haven’t gone before
So tell me why
I gotta fly
When I’m the one you send for
But I say no
I gotta go
Out the door
Darting on the scene
What does it mean?
Timid over estimations
You can’t confuse this anymore
Darting on the scene
What does it mean?
Only time accumulations, in the nation
In this crowded place
Filled up with empty space
I’m holding steady for right now
Barely hanging on
A line that should be drawn
Just gotta say out loud oh
So tell me why
I need to try
When you don’t look my way now
And if it’s stop and go
Why don’t you let me know
Darting on the scene
What does it mean?
Timid over estimations
You can’t confuse this anymore
Darting on the scene
What does it mean?
Only time accumulations, in the nation

Fading Figures

Sitting in the car
We drive all night and sleep all day
To the border where we will surely stay
Sixteen hours since your certainty fell out of place
And in the meantime you repeat the phrase,
“Fading figures of the twentieth century
echo though my mind”
It doesn’t pay to be afraid
Of what you did yesterday
If you don’t care I’ll never dare to stay
Where do you go?
It’s getting hard for me to tell
Somewhere in between
Slowly crumbling
How would you know?
It’s getting hard for me as well
Somewhere in between
I can see you
Looking outside I see everything’s design
Go into the light and see that everything’s entwined
It’s overheating as your clarity fades to gray
It echoes through my mind and in my head it replays
How many times have you caught yourself displaced?
Slipping through the crowd you don’t leave a trace.
Fading figures of the twentieth century
Echo through my mind
It doesn’t pay to be afraid
Of what you did yesterday
If you don’t care I’ll never dare to stay
Where do you go?
It’s getting hard for me to tell
Somewhere in between
Slowly crumbling
How would you know?
It’s getting hard for me as well
Somewhere in between
I can see you
Looking outside I see everything’s design
Go into the light and see that everything’s entwined
It’s time for me to know
If you’re somewhere I can’t go
Because I don’t have the time
To keep you on the line
