it's knowing what's important

hidden lockets of your hair

fell exactly every moment

even moments we never shared

and all this land has been discovered

every frame in front of me

is describing in a story

a familiar history



through a city that's all closing

at least it's closing in on me

but you're too old to remember

or I'm too young to agree

secret teachings take me somewhere strange

shadows gained and bottles drained

let your tears fall in the shape

of everyone of the American states



if I could see your face

before it's born and raised

before it was born and raised

in memories wake



reassure me into changing names

vision strained a second's change

to be secure of everything

if I could make another world

we're like flies landing on flies

we suffer what we never try

so I slick my hair and I stamp my feet

until the darkness

until the darkness is complete



if I could see your face

before it's born and raised

before it was born and raised

in memories wake
