lyrics

Started with a fight; oh, I know,
it always does.
Our neighbourhood was quiet until
they moved in next to us.
I looked across the street, fifteen months:
sudden eruptions
and violet aurora.

At the window on my knees,
I’ve seen miracles through the trees,
ones nobody else believes.
I shout my parents’ names,
and the fires fade to black.

Walking from the park, late one night,
the streetlights were switched off,
and coming out the dark—oh, God—
the colours and tremors kicked off.
A tongue of ancient tome, fifteen rainbows!
I took a deep breath
and crept towards the window…

A man incanted old blues.
The television blew a fuse.
Objects orbited the room,
and a levitating woman
warbled aphorisms.

**

Helpless and distant, we fell apart…
You made so many mistakes,
but I don’t hate you for them—
The heart is a code unstuck,
closing its messages
from the speaker,
two vaults without readers.
—denying what I witnessed, but I know,
unsure of myself, unto you I projected my ailment!

You can’t understand
what it’s like to be me,
to live in the shadows
of the house with the floating machines.
No, they never believed me,
and neither did you.

**

Amongst the pine trees,
you took uncertainty and you made it pain relief.
You did that for me.

I told you everything;
you swam to fix it, but ran out of air to breathe.
Oh, you never believed me, but I know
that you wanted to.

**

As sure as anything I know,
there’s no antidote.
At my windowsill fifteen years
cause they made that TV float.
