Futility

Futility wanders afraid and alone
And where we have found her no angel could know
Safe as the wind blows
Safe as the sea
Futility’s sick of the leitmotif sound
The body celestial beat into the ground
Don’t sate her blowout
Come set her free
- You’re stepping on the sidewalk crack
- But it won’t break her cul-de-sac
- You wait too long, she won’t come back
- From this futility attack
- You take her life and make it heard
- But you won’t even speak the words
- You go too far, she won’t come back
- From this futility attack
Futility whites out the dream that once was
And there in its stead lies the last reach of love
Careful suspension
Careless belief
Futility sees what nobody has seen
Her only hope left is the space in between
Dots all connected
And you are the key
- (Closer, come closer, come close)
You said it yourself
Through lips of a snake
You got sickness, you got health
And the one thought you can’t shake
’Cause sure, you’re sitting pretty (you know what you are)
In your world on the back of your hands
But don’t you even try to tell me
That you wouldn’t give
Every life you’ve lived
For a world that understands

Spectator

It’s like looking in a mirror when I look at you
Eyes so wide they lose the meaning of the color blue
And all the things that I won’t say
I know you do
Tell me why’d I come so far tonight to see you
When your back is to the door
Tell me why should I believe this means a thing
Oh god, I’d rather be actively ignored
(There’s a place inside where nothing’s meant to be)
(But it’s empty all the same)
Spectator to the show
Somehow you’ll never know
That it was me
You were welcoming
Home
I remember every single word you ever say
Soft and fast and high and well at any time of day
And all the years that people change
Should mean today
So why don’t they
(I need you to understand ’cause if you don’t)
(Then what was anything [any of me] for)
Spectator, I’m alone
You never could’ve known
That it was me
You were welcoming
Home
In this room
Of endless sound
My loudest screams
All would drown
And there you are
The closest I’ll ever be
And you won’t turn around
’Cause you’re a spectator like me
(Two hours passed)
(You left, then you came back)
(You closed it out, we clapped)
(Then I went home)
