Before You Leave

you're finding proof i was right there where you are
asking me to name all the landmarks
disconnected, distracted by the carnivals and theme parks
now the highway surrounds you
fades in the read view
Cali skies watch over
there's more than one way to do this
from an arial view, the world's set a blaze
streetlights fuse together

this time it's your turn to send out
the postcards from all your wherabouts
write home but never admit you're homesick now

this time it's your turn to send out
the postcards from all your wherabouts
you'll find through stereo rhythm
we're in unison

the sounds forced from your mouth
my intake
fail to match with the shapes your lips make
your tongue is a hostage
never to pronounce this
take only what you can carry
avoid waking the neighbors
there's more than one way to do this
from an arial view the world's set a blaze
streetlights fuse together

this must be some kind of therapy
the feather pillow tucked between your legs
