I don’t want to see you
Walking up the hillside
Pushing through the ivy,
down there by the stream Or
Kicking sand at low tide
I can feel your shadow
Its blocking out the moonlight
And when the morning dew starts dripping down the nylon
I’m briefly feeling alright
Throwing dirt into the campfire
Catch your denim on the barbed wire
No matter where you stand the smoke still blows into you face
It’s the universe’s satire
You’re breaking down the hammock?
You’ve left out the ceramic
But when I catch the sunrise reflecting off of your eyes
A scene so panoramic
Heavy breathing on the incline
Pass his hand along your hairline
Heart is racing at his touch, never thought about it much
Till you had to leave it behind

Am I dreaming?
Ozone tingling
pressure, pushing down
Socks are soaking
Leaving muddy
Footprints through your
Mother’s kitchen floor
Have you finished
With your homework
Await the bus in
Mornings chilling fog
Must you wait forever
Here forever
Bored forever after
Watch the sparks
Drifting down and
Warming all around you now

Memorize
Look for the answers deep inside
Find the time
Place your whole life upon the line
Close your eyes
We need you focused on the prize
Gaze inside
One lesson left to teach a proof to mystify
Memorize
You will not find you had
The answer all along
Find the time
Rest your eyes, just for a bit
Watch as the seconds tick away
Fill the circles in
Fill the circles in
Play by the rules
Its all thought out
Just squeeze yourself into the box
We’ve made a shape for everyone
Its just a slight discomfort
Don’t mind the itch
Its just a thing
We all feel from time to time
You’ll get accustomed to it all
But first we just need you to
Memorize
Memorize
Pick me up
You’ll get accustomed to it all
No distractions now
Put me down
The carrot is just out of reach
Just one last thing before you go
Fill the circles in
Fill the circles in

Lives reflected in your eyes
Seems we’re saying our goodbyes
Just for a while
Don’t be sad
Know I’ll be thinking of you
Wait my car will be here soon
Brood in the glow of the moon
Say your piece
Before I’m gone
Hope you’ll keep waiting for me
Just 30 minutes to the airport
Its an eternity
Clutch it tighter as you feel it drift away
Sit in silence for a while
Dashboard counts another mile
Streetlights blur
Just outside
I hope you won’t forget me
Think of all the times we’ve had
Trading stories with your dad
What a day
What a life
Why did I ever leave you?
Just 15 minutes to the airport
Its an eternity
Clutch it tighter as you feel it drift away
Just 60 seconds to the airport
Its an eternity
Hold it tight but its already slipped away

Squeal of those tires
What we desire
Hands shake until
Flags wave
Siblings rejoice
They made their choice
Drop kick that shell
You’ve done it now
They won’t allow
Sister won’t share
Yoshi
Off to your room
They’ll just assume
You’re sound asleep
