Ancient lives, your years so wise, they conspire to let me go
All that time, a fine line, from a child to a sage
One night, sent me right, from your bed to that cage
Born in palms, lost at sea, a love that came but would not be

I sat thinking about all the lives we could have led, touching with
Such savage love but feeling only fleeting in a neon way
Oh but, what use to adjectify the sea-salt summer sky? when 
You'll climb back up to your banyan dream and fully deny the day

Sattva love don't get us thrills, in a dive bar crowd and a town that kills
By the oceanside, we've lived too long, but that's all past us now
Oh, and what a world we dreamed in the stolen act of night
Summer should have burnt us both alive

Casino Death

Memories throw up their glances high and dry
Like blinding sun in the early afternoon

Past lives held my hand in some midnight land
Sweet words to love by, but fit to leave to die
In the cold shadow of rain we held through all those hollow years
Cornered too long, the mind fractures and fails
The decay of atoms, to be swept away

A woman you knew through all those hairy years
Still lets you down and waits around till evening comes
While I sit and reduce myself to eventuality
Oh but, you never did a thing like that, did you?
All such knowledge leaves us feeling disengaged
Are we so deaf in the heart these days?

You are some kind of lonely soul, you don't want to be down
We are two kinds of motion, oh, and I am changing too

I want to be just a little bit sane tonight
I'll let you in, just this one time

Lonely Soul

These limits are only a thought
I can hear the ocean from here if I try
I can feel your feet move next to mine
In the dark warm water all around us
(Tell me something good)

Now can you feel this urgency? 
Like a roar from the earth deep at night.
The plants are rising up to reach as far before
Winter comes and cuts them down again.
And I do feel that we are the same
A slow alignment through the year's defeat

We are reborn the god in the door
Moving in between boundary conditions into
"have" and "have not", impersonal soul
When did you get so cold?
Throwing out all the empty moments behind you
Drifting out with the morning air
But what about all the empty moments still to come?
Yeah, I lost my way here once too

Sunrise eyes in a room, moonlight daydreams
We used to touch but we don't call it love anymore
Now I'm all torn up inside, cuz everything has to die
And I just don't get the feelings that I used to
We were framed as summer love, some senseless hollow year
But still I see you there, looking for you way out again
Now every breath draws our old home near
"Strange friend", I said, "summer won't sing to me no more".
And, you were right, I tend to think… fallen in fact so low.
But, what a waste - that's what I always had to say.

Old Home

Modest Mouse - Float On (Electric Geoffrey Remix)

You hiked the front lines all summer long 
Skipping the heat in a mountainside town 
Once in our stucco cell I had a vision of 
All your past lives in your ancient mother's eyes

Sitting on my rooftop just before dawn 
Wishing to dissolve both distance and time 
Cuz I know we're always close 
When we both rise to the same sun every day

If I held you by the light of the dawning glow 
Under strange stars in patterns we do not know 
Past the rock walls and those waterfalls 
Then when the day is breaking 
Are you gonna be near to me?

I've been lonely too, on an empty white bed 
I would have given anything just to have a friend 
We moved together for a little while, florid and futile

Don't you feel bound by what you carry on 
Prisons in him and them and things that are so far gone 
Sweeping waves smile, then oscillate past 
Did you really think your heaven could last?

If I told you by the light of the lava flow 
Of our fates told by stars you long to know 
From your little town you are forced back again 
And in the daylight all I'm craving is my friend

Strange Stars
