there you are, smiling
there you sit
I came for you,
never a living part of anything
you praise your shit life
nearly invincible, like distant mountains
that shred the skyline
while you get older in yer sleep
are you again willing to appear
this upcoming new year new year new year in my dreams?
tryin’ to love none
not to lose time
fit for duty
on the safe side
so it goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes
there’s a meandering white line
between grey and green you’ll never see,
dressed up in letters
your long-standing loneliness
defies
anything
like a thousand liters
breaking against the wall
like foam maps merging,
expanding and catching and
holding on
are you again willing to appear
this upcoming new year new year new year in my dreams?
tryin’ to love none
not to lose time
fit for duty
on the safe side
so it goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes
are you again willing to appear
this upcoming new year new year new year in my dreams?
tryin’ to love none
not to lose time
looming silent
on the safe side
so it goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes, goes
