Phosphenes

[Verse 1]
Calico and a dove
Dominos mirrored in the windowpane
Vertigo, as above
So below, locking eyes with hurricanes
Do you know what you love?
Will it grow? Will it fade or stay the same?
Sharp needle drawing blood
From a stone, chlorophylling up my veins

[Pre-Chorus]
I caught a dangerous bouquet
Is this the last time I'll see ivy grow and die?
I watched my body float away
A spark to objectify, flying unidentified

[Chorus]
Promise to stop depending
On you for comfort and maybe
Pulling the rug from my feet
Would make my standing less shaky
Promise to block the ember
Don't let my body burn, baby
I think the world is ending
So won't you bury me in the

[Verse 2]
Tornado and a flood
Reap and sow, cutting down the cherry tree
Landscape won't survive on
Status quo, map of ideology
Tomorrow will become
A shadow covering society
Afterglow of the sun
Will overflow eyes with sparklers of phosphenes

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw a comet of debris
Bleeding the moonlight out of your starry eyes
I tried to read the lines between
Sorry, that's classified, at least we can say we tried

[Chorus]
Promise to stop pretending
That I've been sleeping well lately
Daydreams of pepper and Peach
But I don't need you to save me
Promise to block the ember
Until it's cloudy and raining
I think the world is ending
So won't you bury me in the

[Bridge]
Burning sandcastles turning into glass
Figure eight rotate to reset the past
Burning letter sign turning into ash
Double eight on a pill and photograph
Burning sandcastles turning into glass
Figure eight rotate to reset the past
Burning letter sign turning into ash
An eighth is a fourth changing form and exploring

[Chorus]
Promise to stop contending
If we could make it back safely
I'm scaling bluffs on Muir Beach
But I can't feel my heart racing (I saw a comet of debris)
Promise to block the ember (Bleeding the moonlight out of your starry eyes)
Until your vision gets hazy (I tried to read the lines between)
I think the world is ending
Don't let it bury me in the ground
