lyrics

san pellegrino with frozen candy and some forgotten drink
a raspy frail black cat with bowie eyes just about on the brink
you mention to me that somethings up in the basement where i sleep for the night
my mind runs wild when you leave the room
i dont feel safe even in the light

are there muppet like ghosts with no pupils in their eyes
no bodies at all shaking and chillingly bellowing something
the ghost of yr grandma haunting this place
in a bathroom straight out of the shining
in the room in which i dare not face, she
who died vanishing into a growing sea

people are good today i say to myself as i lay in the couch of a new place just for a day or two or three
think about what you said about yr dad to me
and what he abruptly said leaving
to that old wizard
you told me theres more
i dont pretend like i dont see
what neverybody's not looking for
i can safely say that im no expert
on just what a father is in short
but ill hold you crying anytime
i can tell you're feeling torn

found me a flame all the way from NOLA
and its there ive heard you returned
or is it somewhere different now
the storms seemed quite concerning
here the land of mordor hangs thick still among the air
the mountains
folding into caves of crystal vanishing into a thin chair

we are the lonely hearts of the glistening land of the world's last trees and
ive lost everything many times
including the times that i lost me yet
with you im oddly centered and only 4 people make this happen so far
come on back to rainland friend
and let me learn more who you are

people are good today i say to myself as i lay in the bed of a new place
this time for maybe an eternity
think about what you said about the world to me
we could talk about anything
and you actually listened to the things i said
now your the goddess of the weather
and im the goddess of sound
elsewhere the goddess of scribbled lines is drawing the scripture down
after a year of banishing
nice to become reconnected in
vanishing

walking down the broken zipper sidewalk in the burning rain
comes one in a black tweed coat
in their old haunt again
has it become time already
to be growing old
at least i may have better results
at least that's what I'm told

it may also help that ive seen to know this for some time now
i could dare to say that i may even be in my prime now
22 feels 42 years younger than i am and always will
