lyrics

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
