ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
Got tired of holding the cradle
Wept like a babe, wanted the ground to be stable
Cos you’re hot stuff and you can’t afford to spill on the ground
We fortified
Secured all the lines
Gave our phones juice
‘Cause what’s the point of anything if you can’t prove
to the many humans scrolling that it ever really happened?
Chorus
I saw him run into the lightening
Now I said it aloud and that makes it real
And I’m close to deciphering
How the guy survived as it’s clear he was asleep at the wheel
Verse
Hear you me, it’s a hidden affliction
But you know it’s okay ‘cause everyone has this addiction
To the same kinds of neon signs
An electric storm
I’ll be notified when I turn forty-five
That my mother is hanging on for dear life
Can’t talk, can’t move any parts save her fingers
And Lord knows she can type – ttttt typettttt typettttt typettttt type
Chorus
I saw him run into the lightening
Now I said it aloud and that makes it real
And I’m close to deciphering
How the guy survived as it’s clear he was asleep at the wheel
MILLION YEARS
You look like a man who’s lived and seen a million years
Did the time pass slow?
Did you go very far in your search through the stars
for that girl you used to know?
I won’t despair because you belong there
In the space between the nightmares
When I’m too tired, too tired to feel
But I’m still trying, I’m still trying
To figure out what was real
If I take you back to a time before you were a slave to the chase
And winding back the clock to moments gone
Would it be the same or would it drive you insane
To know that you can’t change what was wrong?
Constellations, consolations, must we all wait in patience
For the blind eyes, blind eyes to see –
Beyond the pain that someone’s saying:
‘Let it all go, and start to breathe’
Moving faster, late night laughter
I don’t want to cease, but if the volume increases
There’s a chance they will hear
And you can’t spend the night here you know
You know
If I take you back to a place where I said it wasn’t cold
But I embraced you, we breathed easy for a while
If I take you back to the dark
Swimming, I bring up Jaws and we see sharks
And the horror movie starts
