I imagine that you’ll look like a painting within a painting Underneath the hazy lights at some prom I close my eyes and see you swaying as though the music was still playing But the rest of the crowd is long gone If your fathers tattoos and your mothers abandoned causes Are the best things they have to pass on Well then this might seem dramatic, but it cuts through the static And so the penitent wrote you a song And said: I don’t need that fantasy It don’t mean that much to me I don’t need a thing We’re lost in the sound Lost in the sound I imagine that you’ll feel like a tragedy in training Falling into folds between folds With everything closed except for two lanes to jersey The desperation tries to take hold And just like the novels bore us in high school Forced upon our sleep-deprived souls We all become characters that we can’t relate to And then we just practice crowd control I don’t need that fantasy It don’t mean that much to me I don’t need a thing We’re lost in the sound Lost in the sound You’ll see floods on both sides of this river so I won’t count you out when counting all the floods that we have seen I’ve seen blood flowing like a river I’ve made mistakes Will I be forgiven?

Autumn Suite 03:42
Inside your head There's something precise Something we became A moment in time It finds you Takes you by the hand Dismantles all you've made And then it dissipates God bless the stereo It keeps me awake on this drive Reduced to darkness and light Until we're dust on a hinge The ghost of a grin And this night feels as long as a life And I know We'll find somewhere to go Someplace to call a home If it's the last thing we ever know Whisper up to my window And tell me what to dream about And how it feels to chase the sun and let it get away And please remind me To breathe in deeply and embrace A different kind of day Perhaps we'll get our way

I'll wait for you Will you wait for me? It's different when you know But I know you'll never know I can see it in your ways Time waster Won't you waste some time with me? Make me feel something Before I have to leave Time waster Try to see the things I see If you woke up and saw it How long would you lay there And pretend that it's not real? Because it’s different when you know And I pray you’ll never know Because we know you don’t deserve that

We never really saw our fathers sleep Even when we were kids You said you never saw you shadow weeping Even though I'm pretty sure that when you did it did We're just portraits of modern saints As fragile as model planes And still, we never saw our fathers sleep We’re never going to see our fathers sleep So, middlegrounders, where do we go from here, When the middle ground has all but disappeared? And the outsiders all lament that the outside that they know Has washed away, and even the inside has started to erode Where can we go? Where have our shadows gone now that the streetlights turned away? No survival skills; we'd rather drown than have to work to breathe What will our mothers sigh about now that we're finally getting sleep? Voices lowered to a whisper You repeat to me With insincere sincerity Pain is like a seed—when it's buried near a body of water, you'll eventually find a city Middlegrounders, where do we go from here? Look what we've forgotten Look what we've abandoned
