Visitors

Light up all the dark corners now

I’m awake and overwhelmed by sound

Vision quested, learned lessons

Kind of like there’s a way out of my head

Show me what is if that’s not some kind of death

Thought you’d find indestructible design

In a version of me for you

Now you watch it go at alarming intervals

Do you think there’s such a place as home?

How do we define the worse it gets?

Is there still time to not happen yet?

We take a drive to the center, but the center moves again

On the way home, talk about the day we had and that we’re bound to forget

Thought you’d find indestructible design

In a version of me for you

Now we watch it go at alarming intervals

Do you think there’s such a place as home?

Thoughts that splinter, landscapes flicker,

Recall only the last time

Moving forward, steady as an arrow

Through lives that aren’t mine

Interrupt the silence, calculate the mileage,

I think we don’t know much of anything
