the Gleam, Pt. 3

[Verse 1]
I take everything I've already figured out with me wherever I go
Mind like a moth-eaten blanket
Wind whistling through the holes
I wrap up in its wool every day
I walk, I drive, I say hi to the faces of the other parents
I will forget who they are but for now I know

[Verse 2]
And when the nights fall a dark spring opens
I dive entirely in to the holes in my sleeping mind
And I, I swim all night across a black ocean
Before day comes again

[Verse 3]
Standing beneath a sky of airplane noise
The sun on its wheel, turning me old
Warms the back of my head
Death caress
I look across the gulf

[Verse 4]
I have seen the billowy black
These hereditary perforated minds dream off
And then they don't come back

[Outro]
I'll climb through this torn wool mind hole in my knowing
To grandmother's house
