Red and white
But by the grace of your eyes
Imagine if it never blessed a sunrise
Never blazed a neon sign
Upside down
Flipped around by the wheel of your mind
In less than the blink of an eye
You don't even realize
And I focus and I filter and I render
And I render and I filter and I remember
Red Green Blue
From these 3 unlimited hues
All conspire to show the world to you
Mislead in ways beneath our view
Proportion and line
So easily contrived
Ready to believe your lies
Beauty, behold my eye
It's how I behold you
How I long term store you
How the recall is optimized
The image is rasterized
The photons' one mission
To reflect off your visage
The image it saturates
The hues all fall into place
It's how I behold you
How I long term store you

Boldfaced festivities
Nothing less than the best that you deserve
Shed all frivolities
Nothing more than the life that you have earned
Then you grab my face
The moon takes its place
Calls out our names
Jealous and breathless
The eternal refrain
Forever sustained
Across the arid plains
Sweeping and reckless
Exchange formalities
No other name than the one we get to choose
Live territorially
Sing our song to fight away the blue
Eternal refrain
Forever sustained
Across the arid plains
Sweeping and reckless
And baby you sang
"Be My Husband" and they
All joined the refrain
Singing and stomping
And on that day
We climbed out of our graves
And into our place

You in the market
For the brand new home of your dreams?
It'll cost you everything
But the views are immaculate
Recently lost your
Bodily autonomy
Reduced to less than nothing degrees
Completely irrelevant
A new day dawns now
And haven't I got just the thing
Bring only what you need to bring
Escape velocity
Don't take too long now
Buyers lining up to sign the lease
A time share in the astral peaks
Your own relativity
Find your continuum
In absentia
Write your own compendium
Ad infinitum
On Mare Imbrium

In a backwoods shack off Desiard
You touched your hand to the back of an old John Deere
The movement and the sparks it made
Would never again be explained
So we set our course for Moon Lake
In your rush to experiment you must have spilled the tank
The belly of Bartholomew
Was laid out for the town's review
For the first time I really feel alive
You said as we fled south down Hwy 165
The crucibles of Calcasieu
Couldn't match what he learned to do
On our trail
On our trace
On our scent
On a whim
On the back of a lot of bad decisions
16 maybe less
After that much older
Friends right until the end
Which we met at the border
All the power in the world at the tip of his fingers
Too much too soon too young too fast too unstable

Seeing in the dark
Thinking through a spark
Molting into the next thing from the last thing
All in the name of succession
Breathing in the light
Instincts force the fight
Resilient of one more thing like it's the next thing
All in the name of connection
You grow
You lunge
You climb
You jump
You stalk
You feed
You sire
You breed

AIN'T THAT ENOUGH?
THAT'S FAR TOO MUCH!
IT WAKES ME UP
As far as eyesores
It leaves a little something to be said
From branches and briars
They make their many nests above my bed
AND IT WAKES ME UP
All their preening and scratching around
AND THEY FEED THEIR YOUNG
So I guess I've got to keep them safe and sound
I'm not monster after all
But I could be...
IT WAKES ME UP!
AIN'T THAT ENOUGH?
As far as advice
Take this little pearl here for a ride
We're no holy french horns
We're complicated fools and spies
AIN'T THAT ENOUGH?
To be the end-all be-all prototype?
THAT'S FAR TOO MUCH!
A minor eddy in the vaster gyre
Cuz I ain't nothing special
But I would be...
