It's all happening, I can feel it
In my memory; you were real then...
And once you smiled at me when I kissed you
And you'd laugh while I would sing
I still miss you
And I don't dream much any more
And what's absent seems important to me
No I don't dream much anymore
I just live life through a dream.
It's all happening, I can feel it
It's all happening, I can feel it
You, you're drifting from your body

If I don't come back know that I'd want to
As if it weren't like that, presently I'm still anew
Thinking I'll get right to it now
If I don't wake up, know that I'd want to
As if it won't stay shut, someday we all must find anew
Blinking into the movement now
If I can't stay up, know that I'd like to
If it ain't too much send me above the breath of you
'cuz it's too scary all that truth
Temporary, but it's new!
If I don't come back, know that I loved every bit
As if it weren't like that, something we always seem to miss

Mislabeled irony: the dead are doin fine you see
It's all been twisted up in your pretty head
All seeming fine to me, I long to be entirely
And that is that
I guess I follow where I'm led
And you don't miss me because you don't see me
And you don't want me because you don't want me
I will stay here
Keep my mind clear
Live without fear...
Hate was never my idea, projections always bad my dear
Think you're speakin' out, you're shootin' at yourself
Love we're trading for our fears
Crying, but I'm glad to hear
I bet you're smiling; that can always help
You shouldn't miss me, 'cuz you don't see me
Shouldn't want me, cuz you don't want me
I will sit here, keep my mind clear
And live without fear because I don't like fear.
Every moment is every moment is every moment is every moment is every moment is

Defensively I wait, can't see in front of me
Talking cheap, some bread coffee. I'm wondering
We do our part to makamess of the messes that we make
We do our part to makamess of the messes that we make
Time to wander, but oh don't bother
I'll be slipping down
Meet sweet talker his mouths a sparkler on the ribbon now
And it waves like a snake in the rain
Tasty mistake heavy hand hopeless
When I fell by the way I could maybe barely make anything less upset
A star unwinds from another time
Always years away
Takes that mind, throw it all behind
There's not enough to say!
So it goes and I know that it only gets louder the more you listen in.
But it jokes with it's ghosts and it's mostly only showing: no one is listening.
I have a feeling it's gonna snap.....

Now Here's an Open Ear

I don't know what I want I just want what I'm doing
And I don't know how it stopped I just want it (you) to be moving
There's nothing you could say to make me turn away
There's nothing you could say to make me turn away
And if what's real is what we feel then it's time that destroys us
And if all seems life but a dream, well that feeling should avoid us
See there's nothing you could say to make me turn away
See there's nothing you could say to make me turn away
Now here's an open ear for the one who does the listening
And if I'm near my end, my dear it's the one thing we've been missing.
No there's nothing you could say to make me turn away
No there's nothing you could say to make me turn away
