oblivion 02:51
Oblivion Exploding yellow sun Folded up in language, In damage A broken mirror reflection Drop the illusion of direction There's poetry in true events Oblivion At first it sounds just like a day dream But there are holes in that painting Where light could shine through A full moon But I'm here now Just trying to forget about The storyteller I always go to bed with Shooting down Negative thoughts With more negative thoughts And out on the street For that split second Where you forget where you are And where you're going Alien energy Surrounded in sound That doesn't mean anything Machines Oh to be In the vastness Surrendering To what To whom Where When is it gonna happen To me

swim 02:00
You said "I want to be free" As you bounced off of the diving board Arms stretched out like the crucifixion In slow motion Into an artificial ocean A salt water pool In the backyard of a random Southern California home It's night And the pool light casts an unearthly glow Swimming is an ornament of our nature Water is the place where life began Birds represent the desire for freedom Angels are the ones with wings and the ones who understand And all we do is stand around Every once in a while Go for a little swim It's dim in the background of the memory But you've got a subconscious submarine It exists within the body you live in It also exists in everything I don't wanna be told what to do I don't wanna be told what to think Why don't you want us to tell you what to think? Because deep down I just wanna be the one to discover The missing link Okay, I guess that makes sense But water is to air as air is to the astral plane Clean or stained Easy or pained Innocent or blamed Sink or swim
