lyrics

up higher here
the earth points and shifts
endless ocean, active squint
i could sit on this rock for the remainder of the season
my eyes became addicted
to speeding over words
how much of my life have i spent
gazing up into aquamarine and wishing?
THE TRAIN KEEPS MOVING, EVEN WHEN I'M SLEEPING.
in the 1960s
friends just like me & my friends
believed they could change
more than the world around them.
well i believe
if i change the world around me
then maybe
the change will spread like dandelion seeds blowing and landing
is there ever any hurt in pushing hoping higher?
everything is in obsidian black silhouette.
there's summer color above treetops, rooftops, and mountaintops
these are the longest days of the year---
being outside & listening,
its like the after-echo of a handmade drum
[sea, sea, sparkle, dance, sparkle, dance, and sink into me]
THE TRAIN KEEPS MOVING, EVEN WHEN I'M SLEEPING.
