And you were scared of ghosts Spirits in the glass by your bed Your mother had told you that story You heard growing up in El Salvador When there's an earthquake Our future's just a black hole this room When there's an earthquake A Jhumpa Lahiri novel on my shelf And we went to see obscure art I thought that I would flee with you to Spain Because Love is a fossil that I found Before it was a fish that had drowned When there's an earthquake Your mouth on the lips of someone else When there's an earthquake Your airplane ride to Spain will be alone (And you'll be the spirit by my bed) I'll be the spirit by your bed

Sailboat 06:07
What if an asteroid hit? What if an asteroid hit? Then I’ll play alone in the black Then I’ll play alone in the black You know that I can’t feel like light drowned in space You know that I can’t see through the walls of consciousness Don’t believe in anything cuz' you’re just the context of time And I’ll believe in everything but I’ll just be a sailboat in the sea What if an asteroid hit? What if an asteroid hit? Then I’ll play alone in the black Then I’ll play alone in the black

Perception 06:53
Perception is a game that we play So I’ll dress up like a grizzly bear And there’s a tornado in my head As the leaves begin to paint themselves again Don’t be fooled, We’re all animals And I saw the technicolor lights Through the grey sands on this beach But I’m just a man in my head Thinking about time when I’m gone Don’t be fooled, We’re all animals And I saw the twilight through cognitive distortion And I saw my ego through an iceberg off the coast Don’t be fooled, We’re all animals

You said, “Stay with me, but don’t get lost in your head.” And the conscious self is a thief And the visceral mind you believe But I’ll wait Why does it mask itself? I lost the feeling again At a northern lake, I knew my love had weathered down You said, “Stay with me, but don’t get lost in your head.” Why does it mask itself? I lost the feeling again At a northern lake, I knew my love had weathered down I can hear the cathartic thoughts again
5.
And I am lost in the time continuum Watching the sea erode my old self And I saw myself become a werewolf With a glass of poison in my hand The woods are deeper now The woods are darker now And I walked on a dark steel bridge With water rapids drowning out the train In the void of night in a cabin in my head I played chess with my old myself The woods are deeper now The woods are darker now And the past is just a beast in a cave When love has become its own slave And when did I grow old an lose her I am lost in the moon's neon blur I am lost in the moon's neon blur
