lyrics

eternal spring, safe haven made of grass
foundation is the drum break
pluck another wing off of your back
for collection plate passed
that’s the spirit of our mass
white flag hung at half mast
gonna take it down tomorrow
put perfection in the past

take as many moments as you need
to reminisce on what didn’t last
I think that memories get hungry too
I fed my frailty and starved the skinny pimp
didn’t notice in my teens that I was walking with a limp
slipping in and out of dreams
slipping in and out of lucid lines
functioning fine and usually waking up in time

to forget to watch the news on the TV
to take notice when you show me what you need from me
to ebb and flow with the molecules of the stars and the seaweed

I swallow greif as if its sushi
and I'd like to think he knew me
better than anyone I’ve ever met before
whether or not since then I’ve turned the knobs
to a lot of doors
some with paradise in store
and some are too forlorn not to lock back up
and toss the key past my teeth
and I'll swallow in a stock room
full of good feelings and bad relief

I think I need a chance
to listen to insecurities
cause every anti-hero
has been feeling like a peer to me
I'm K, I'm Don Quixote, I'm the Stranger
Strayed away from home, cold feet, facing danger

you cant cauterize an open wound with apology
but I'm sorry
never meant to build these walls but I’ve realized
that they are me
never meant to build these walls but I've realized
that they are me
I never meant to build these walls

now and for a while at least
I found relief
in that book you borrowed me
about neurology and Buddha
and soothed the beast a bit to lose
the pukey feeling used to lucid dream
about being able to fly
now I’m staying grounded
plucking out the feathers trying not to cry

just focus on your breath

death has no motion
god is the weather
towards both you’re approaching
neither is better

so just be thankful that they let you slide
use every panic attack as a reminder that you haven’t yet died
I’m alive and that’s just fine

no pride a lot of remorse
the flowers wilt
but we stay on course

no pride a lot of remorse
the flowers wilt
