I am running late, my heart is gunning at hummingbird rates I am running late, I’m racing, you’re waiting with a timeless grace You say take sand out of the hour glass refill it will sugar, Take our sweet time I am running late, my heart is gunning at hummingbird rates I am running late, but like your watch, you have a timeless face You say take hands off clocks fast hands on my hips: that’s time to waist kiss the salt from my lips kiss the halt from existence a vault of ellipsis… But your kisses so sweet they hurt my fillings floors my heart beat when I see the ceiling In 999 we were neighboring carnations And I gave up before the calendar year It was much the same for y2k broke it off fearing the end was near what are we gonna do in 2012? It’s said the world won’t make it through What are we gonna do in y3k, if I can’t see that ends return as debuts? I’m rerunning fate, my heart is gunning at hummingbird rates Afraid what ruins await, my time changed watch sees signs and tries to run in place With my Flashlit canned goods in Bottled water Duct taped radio First aid kit Blankets matching Favorite authors Warm clothed escape routes Card tricked by secret shoppers we’ve carbon dated so long that half-lived delay pedals decay lemme count the ways though every signal measure’s strong in decomposed symphonic ways still I countdown our days too late to round down. no documents of stay. the new fate, its coming 'round. yet I'm still in a haze. In 999 we were neighboring carnations but I gave up before the calendar year It was much the same for y2k broke it off fearing the end was near what are we gonna do in 2012? It’s said the world, world, world won’t make it through What are we gonna do in y3k, if I can’t see my time turns into you?

G: when i peer through the columns of no stance and never mind; start to think about the past, the painted walls, the raining tide a tape counter rests at 702 with remnants ready to rewind; re-entwine me with you now images once color-fast collapsed to black & white, an' I can hear your heart sinking, the way it falls in ever sigh you read aloud a love letter unclear which case you prove; oh it was verses v. verses each line, poetry of you M: a broken water mane, in slow cascade, doesn't look the same I know your name, I can see it on the page But it reads so estranged And as in a case embossed, with initials lost, the contents have to change if all my belongings could fit in a brown suitcase with all my boots, all my lace I'd leave this place beneath a clouds' mistake A sky tense with suspended lakes the only salvation of this land-escape it's going terrain, it's eroding grace all my belongings in a brown suitcase all my boots, all my lace but the sounds that resonate from your rainbow rising are vertical versi-color verses aligning you're a strobe-lit flip book on a boat capsizing but i am the river in the picture you're finding just know Horizon, her eyes are on you adjust know Horizon, your eyes shine through... a weary cavalcade, of memories made wonders why they came as they promenade, the masses wane, the losses only gain for those that stay, there's no parade only glossed prints, tossed about the lane: and they're gonna see reflections of you and me and you're gonna need… to know Horizon, her eyes are on you know Horizon, your eyes shine through… G: and she said… M & G: through this time. and through... this space. and through... this tape. and through... this case. with all my boots and all my lace. M: all my boots, all my lace (repeated over remaining vocals until song ends) G: and when I hear that last solumn dance within the lines I start to think about the past; in the faded walls of my mind I just barely can recall the love we both knew, until your voice cuts out, at 702
