May let itself in with no interruption,
As my head pressed against the glass window of my room.
Cars pass, pursuing themselves.
If I looked away would they change their nature,
or continue to pass, swaying with the weather.
Each individual with drive and direction,
or a cast of pure fiction from my mind selecting
what to keep, from what I see.
Calm and casually weighing on me.
Possibly real, unknowingly certain.
Maybe the flame blew out.
Jolt of nerves and doused down.
Maybe it wasn't truly there.
Jolt of nerves and disappeared.
"Today I stand divided by the loyalty I owe."
To the reality that's just across the street,
and to the inward real feeling
that up until now
everything else has all still been but a dream.
Today a cloud formed in my head
and it poured a rain of new reasons
but traffic never slowed.
i'm no good so i'll let everyone else do the talking abt how great this album is bc i have more important things to talk abt like that it was recorded in my hometown!! i was walkin around a stupid little ten-year-old and they were in the stu makin this album less than a mile from my house!! what!!!!!
