CONTRAILS
You say you'll write to me from every port you land
but obligations fade the further
from the place they're made
Sail away my lover, across those ancient waves
where all your ancestors are strewn
beneath this pearly moon...

O here I lie, with the contrails above me
and all I can think of is you
You, and my lack of imagination
You, I’m jonesin’ for your time
You, withholding my prescription
For my own good or my destruction
My own good or my destruction
My good or destruction

And every now and then, I read your name, or see your face
and every pixel, every frame
bleeds into me again
You don't speak their language, so you can't decline their words
but once you do, I fear you'll for-get
my every song's for you

O here I lie, with the contrails above me
and all I can think of is you
You, and my lack of imagination
You know I’m jonesin’ for your time
You, withholding my prescription
For my own good or my destruction
My own good or my destruction
My good or destruction
