[00:08.73]Can't find the forest,
[00:15.60]Too stuck on trees.
[00:22.65]But now you're invested,
[00:26.16]So I'm left pretending,
[00:28.62]Its all I can see
[00:38.28]I asked for a window
[00:43.80]To open my cell
[00:50.88]You came as kaleidoscopes
[00:54.66]Climbing, colliding
[00:56.67]You came as yourself
[01:05.28]Whether I'm ready
[01:10.17]Is not up to me
[01:12.57]We go where we're ordered
[01:13.71]To bunker or breach
[01:18.72]To the close of creation
[01:30.24]As shells and stories
[01:48.03]A spiral staircase
[01:55.23]Astoria, Queens
[02:02.13]I claimed you while conscious
[02:05.58]Got sleepy, forgetful
[02:09.33]And lost you in dreams
[02:16.32]You folded you leg
[02:19.59]Right foot to left knee
[02:23.58]You laughed at my back
[02:26.70]Said you could not believe
[02:35.37]How violent I could be
[02:41.25]Just brushing my teeth
[03:19.74]Drove from the service
[03:25.59]The truth in my teeth
[03:31.80]My woman beside me
[03:38.58]A clutch of hydrangeas
[03:39.06]A strange sort of peace
[03:48.21]In loss, I'm made certain
[03:53.01]Unveiled clarity
[03:59.97]It's you I will marry
[04:03.42]My lover, my family
[04:07.05]You always will be
[04:14.07]But every word
[04:17.43]Seemed to small to speak
[04:21.09]So we watched the sky reach
[04:26.07]Ambivalent peaks
[04:31.53]We made our projections
[04:38.55]Present and free

Can't find the forest,
Too stuck on trees.
But now you're invested,
So I'm left pretending,
Its all I can see
I asked for a window
To open my cell
You came as kaleidoscopes
Climbing, colliding
You came as yourself
Whether I'm ready
Is not up to me
We go where we're ordered
To bunker or breach
To the close of creation
As shells and stories
A spiral staircase
Astoria, Queens
I claimed you while conscious
Got sleepy, forgetful
And lost you in dreams
You folded you leg
Right foot to left knee
You laughed at my back
Said you could not believe
How violent I could be
Just brushing my teeth
Drove from the service
The truth in my teeth
My woman beside me
A clutch of hydrangeas
A strange sort of peace
In loss, I'm made certain
Unveiled clarity
It's you I will marry
My lover, my family
You always will be
But every word
Seemed to small to speak
So we watched the sky reach
Ambivalent peaks
We made our projections
Present and free
