lyrics

STARLINES
I dabbled in magic and blackened my lungs
My heart was on fire and my eyes they were young
Dreaming only of finding a way
To be at ease
I swept all the dirt under the rug for so long
That the pattern is heaping and bleached in the sun
Of a thousand truths whose light
Never ceases

Chorus:
Is it something I lost,
Or is something lost on me?

In California went looking for weed
Thinking that someone would have what I need
When a man offered a coffee and taught me
Don’t sell your habits
Cutting the ribbons and pleading for time
The damaged go searching for something divine
Whose faceless form and features
Are always back-lit

Chorus

I traced the starlines from Harriet to Rome
Thought about the message from the scripture to the phone
And the meanings we inevitably
Attach to them
My mind was a gamble and my heart was the pot
High in a casino I stopped at the thought
Shuddering, what will they find
Among our ruins

Chorus
