Life Signs

go to hell, take the train
generations
learned impatience
some kind of strife in the city, now or then
one night of life i take with me, hours spent
tick tick you’re alive sunlit sick sky scraped by bright eyed short sight online
for thy cathedrals are built unbuilt rebuilt
unwavering guilt
pools of rain heaven spilt
subject to tilt
i’m unfulfilled, i’m in a beautiful place
yeah it’s so sad in this beautiful place
i need you here right now in this beautiful place
can you resurrect a cloud
can you claim it’s fate

what’s on the record
life in a small town
fifth and a first sound

lost my reverie it’s locked up in a prison
return to memory to a land to a vision
to save a tradition imagine it different
a natural condition and nerve recognition
atomic collision it’s fragment prediction
so who is forgiven or maybe who isn’t

life signs
i am coming apart
i’m becoming together 
true to form

Playing Classics
