lyrics

The constellations, those shimmering points
the flames, mad, licking and crying, they anoint
my old dream, my favorite one
leaning out my window after the sun
I wish saint peter’d do more for me
steer my soul, control my heartbeat

Constellations

She exhales and clouds glow, block out the light
it blurs and it's smokey and clouds up her eyes
I thought they’d swirl like galaxies
but my poetry was wrong, if what I see
is right, my love turned smoke and vapor
dreamed in heat and planned on paper

Constellations

The attics of the dusty dull animal kingdom
that they put in plastic boxes whenever you’re done with them
smell so frayed, like all of those days
and I can’t save them, shelter them from the haze
of this new life, of these new feelings
corrupting my soul as I stare at the ceiling

Constellations

A day on earth is more than I can take
in the summer in the city under suns, no escape
from the ambient light and the coughs of the cars
all it does is burn together burning, fallen stars
thats all we are, disconnected beams
shining through these hasty seams

Constellations

The breathing swells of humid air
curl gently round her charcoal hair
in the exhaust the weather extracts, when nothing is intact
the boiling buildings coming under attack
from every ray, from every sun
like us all, how this all happens

Constellations
