Gone Ghost

Moon Mirror

The Night

Rods And Cones

As the moon
Is reflecting a fire
I'm dazzled by the chance of thoughts
And words I can't acquire

By belief in outer space
I am graced mistakes 
Like a body bending light until speed
It breaks

Engines on I'm set to go
And go
Predisposed  I know I hold my own
Engines on I'm set to go

As a single point in time
I am fixed on both sides
Find a thought to echo out from here
Creating life

And I'm addicted to believe that this
It's realized
And conquers even gravity
Propelling flight

Engines on I'm set to go
And go
Predisposed  I know I hold my own

Engines on I'm set to go and go
Hoping for impossible
But I'm possible
Engines on I'm set to go

I am a space machine a time ship
I am a space machine a time ship
I am a space machine a time ship
I am a space machine a time ship
A space machine, in time.

Space Machine

Pull in the line
You've been sailing for something
But never where you wanted

Turn to the side
Though the wrong winds are blowing
You've learned to control them

Do I look just like you
Burned like your father too
One rope slips through our hands
Cursed on water, fucked on land

You laid out a course
With the finest examples
And passion for travel

But I saw you lose
After much hesitation
Your old destination 

Do I look just like you
Burned like your father too
One rope slips through our hands
Cursed on water, fucked on land

You said we
Can go
Anywhere waves can go:
Outward from ourselves

Drink the divine
Water water everywhere
Tell me, what have we to fear
But failure?

And the last one to jump in
Is a rotten god damn egg
So if I am the disgraced
Be graceful

Do I look just like you
Burned like your father too
One rope slips through our hands
Cursed on water, fucked on land

Cursed

You thought time
Only took pictures of us when we want
It takes of our baby clothes and holds us
Dripping wet
Bathwater wet

At the flash of a bulb

Use your eyes
They're always watching for spots in you sides
No blank vacant stares
You're always prepared
'Til some quick snapping kid comes along
And your painted up strange portrait replaces
Impressions you've made 
In everyone's gaze

At the flash of a bulb

No disguise 
Past cropped out
Grown up, and made up your mind
You got on the stage
Naked and bathed

With nothing to do
Or to prove
Or undo
Or to do

At the flash of a bulb

At The Flash

I open up the box
And find papers inside
And when I read the note
It says I'm invited, I'm invited

"Though the year's been hard
And we've not seen your face
Your friends are still around 
And you're invited, you're invited"

Just so you know
Inside you're wanted
Just so you know
You're wanted inside
Inside, the crowds are small
Line the halls
Still recall the song
You'll never be alone
And you'll never be alone
And you'll never be alone

I open up the door
And let my ears inhale 
But hyperventilate on "you're invited
You're invited"

Still one eye sealed shut
My senses can't adjust
And I'm blinded by the sight
That I'm invited
I'm invited

Just so you know
Inside you're wanted
Just so you know
You're wanted inside
Inside, the crowds are small
Line the halls
Still recall the song
You'll never be alone
And you'll never be alone
And you'll never be alone

Invited

I don't know what's best
If I should leave you here on your own
Or if we should just 
Take the car, drive all night

Out of gas and out of the town
Where the noise drowns us out
When I wanna say
"I really wanna stay"
I really wanna stay

Now it's the right time
To say "goodbye"

Singing with the voice
Like a thudding beneath the tire
I can feel you die when we harmonize

To the radio
That's controlled by whenever we're there
'Cus there's now sound if no one is listening
And no one is listening

Now it's the right time
To say "goodbye"

If we follow roads
Switch-backing down the mountain side
There's a promise to break
And to be alive

Hitting on the road
Or the passenger's seat is a choice
At the end of the day
Kiss the road goodbye

Now it's the right time
To say "goodbye"

Goodbye
