Quiet is the New Loud

From my seat I see the fields move by,
coulours strong- it's been a long, long time.
It's the first time I see Summer on the Westhill.
I lean back and let my eyes just go
floating now where they want to float.
They seem to take to the horizon.
Now I know there is a world beyond
the small place I was coming from.
I feel at home here
in the middle of nowhere.
I will never know the names
of these places that I travel through
to reach the coastline.
I've been told I will be there in time.
Please oceancloud,
let there be no storm on the crossing below.

Little kids playing in the park downtown.
Someone's dad is watching
from the side of the ground.
I'm following my shadow so I cross the street.
Car passing stereo I like the beat.
Open up the door,
turning on the fan.
Dropping down the keys that I held in my hand,
and then start waiting for her steps
to be heard in the staircase,
enter the room and let down her bag.
Asking me all kinds of trivial questions,
pretending an everyday life we don't have,
pretending an everyday life we don't have,
pretending an everyday life we don't have.
Little kids playing in the park downtown.
Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down.

And rises over, Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow,
hours later I will follow,
wake up to a life that's hollow without love.
Without love.(2 times)

In the sky the birds are pulling rain,
in your life a curse has got a name,
makes you lie awake all through the night
that's why.
She's intoxicated by herself,
everyday she's seen with someone else,
and every night she kisses someone new
never you.
You're waiting in the shadows for a chance,
'cause you believe at heart, that if you can,
show to her what love is all about,
she'll change.
She'll talk to you with no one else around,
but only if you're able to entertain her,
the moment conversation stops she's gone,
again.

Your eyes are cold,
I know you'll tell me all.
Not to fall,
I lean against the wall.
I'm on the floor,
not listening anymore.
I should have known,
the things to which you're prone.
You cross your arms,
and tell no lies,
a thousand thoughts run through my mind,
a thousand words that I don't need,
I never thought you could do this.

What's the immaterial substance
that envelopes two,
that one perceives as hunger
and the other as food.
I wake in tangled covers,
to a sash of snow,
you dream in a cartoon garden,
I could never know.
Innocent imitation,
of how it could be,
if when the music ended,
you did not retreat.
In my imagination,
you are cast in gold,
your image a compensation for me to hold.
Parallel lines, move so fast,
toward the same point,
infinity is as near as it is far.

Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain,
I'll be on my knees to feed her,
spend a day to make her smile again.
Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain,
as the world is soft around her,
leaving me with nothing to disdain.
Even though I'm not her minder,
even though she doesn't want me around,
I am on my feet to find her,
to make sure that she is safe and sound.
Even though I'm not her minder,
even though she doesn't want me around,
I am on my feet to find her,
to make sure that she is safe from harm.
The sun sets on the war,
the day breaks and everything is new.
