In That First Light

Rest now it’s done

I put this year into an ocean song

And I hear it roll and weep all its devotion

I can’t reach you and you won’t slow down

Maybe I’ll learn

Maybe there’s time

Is it so impossible?

Maybe I was born to feel your ghost in the middle of all

I hear

All I see

Unfold and bleed no more

Go and find your way and do no harm

Ever since that day changed everything I knew

I would know your name

I’d know why it’s you

Last night I had a dream

There was a man outside of time

He couldn’t sleep

He wasn’t born

He couldn’t wait

He couldn’t die

Turned his eyes to forever

But It didn’t seem right

It was all in my head

Then all of it spread

At first there was a silent movie framing a rose

In the middle was the burning bourgeois blocking the road

This could take all of forever

Just enjoy what you know

It’s a trap and instead of love you get dressed

In that first light- that covered your room

I had rules in my head

A fool for my heart

From that porch sprang a yellow balloon

Like a fluorescent red bird on a sea of blue
