lyrics

So I dreamt in scrolling timelines,
of overlapping realities,
of the time I got it right,
and you were there,
every imaginable version,
stood there,
in distant quiet perfection

So beautiful and defiant,
so vulnerable and true,
and if all the best poets are full of shit
then what does that say about you? Or me? Or everybody we know?

There's a morse code flickering on the edge of my vision,
it tells me it's time, to come down again,
but I don't think that I'm ready,
I'm hardly aware of the concrete beneath me

Then I dreamt of floating astronauts,
of Brand New T-shirts,
of heartache and loss,
I know it's not so easy to block it out,
but from here if you raise your thumb you can pretend well enough.

There's a morse code flickering on the edge of my vision,
it tells me it's time, to come down again,
but I don't think that I'm ready,
I'm hardly aware of the concrete beneath me

We screamed through the tunnels that we thought would never end,
I yelled til my throat hurt or at least until I lost my breath
then I fell asleep in the backseat, knocked out by the Dramamine

There's a morse code flickering in the fluorescent lighting,
it tells me, "Hey man, we're all gonna die, but we have to fight or burn out trying."
