Plexiglass

Did you find your way into a dream
Or did you end up falling somewhere in between
Singing some nostalgic melody
It sounded soft and innocuous and put me back to sleep

You’ll die of blood loss if not boredom
It’s the only deal in town
Cough and hock and still it sits there
On the people’s collective tongue
It’s located behind the eyes and
Fiending for a whirr or glow
Hate the world for what it gives me
Hate myself for wanting more

Sequences of memory
Through sheets of plexiglass
Splinter off in front of me
And burn out in the past

The romance thickens and congeals
It loves that you can’t look away
Content finds you and it motors
A certain oscillating pain

Sequences of memory
Through sheets of plexiglass
Splinter off in front of me
And burn out in the past
I want to hear you sing to me
And dance on hardwood floor
'Cause I’m dying to feel anything
I haven’t felt before
Sequences of memory
Through sheets of plexiglass
Splinter off in front of me
And burn out in the past
