Only Just (Live)

Three days until the next full moon

Summer solstice will be on us soon

The stars align and the planets are in tune

But somewhere out there in the universe

Without anchor or impetus

She drifts like an auteur without a muse

But if you don't look too close at her serpentine pose

She keeps appearances up

She's passing for normal, but only just

Remember back when the days were long

And our heads were vessels for drink and song

And our bodies hummed like electricity?

Somewhere out there on life's highway

The road narrowed and I spun my wheels

And I crashed into an askew reality

But if you don't look too close at my serpentine pose

I keep appearances up

I'm passing for normal, but only just

Sound state is overrated, but I still feel the call

Invisible somewhat preferable to being seeing for all

Three days until the next king tide

Clouds are forming on the horizon

The night is heavy with a cold uncertainty

And for a moment in the silent gloom

I imagined how it feels to belong

But it felt so wrong, like a shift in chemistry

'Cause if you don't look too close at my serpentine pose

Ignore the remnants of rage in my ubiquitous gaze

I'll keep appearances up

I'll make you feel like it's normal

It's just how I do normal

So very close to normal

But only just
