lyrics

quicken the heart
blacken the tongue
foam at the mouth
collapse the lung

quicken the heart, eyes on the inside
blacken the tongue, foam at the mouth
collapse the lung
the summer welcomes a prowler

I had a dream and now that dream has gone away from me

I have an inkling of what is to come
love the way it feels (but not forever)
emerge again on the other side
face first in the flowers

I had a dream and now that dream has gone away from me
I have a feeling and it seems to want to stay with me

no land beyond!
no land beyond!
no land beyond!

and so it goes
I don't suppose these should be thoughts that I chose
but the iron hand throws the train off the tracks
and the endless spiral is defined by a lack
what chips at the paint?
what drips so viscose?
a solitary weight pinning me down in my woes
a phrase I cannot speak
a word I cannot spell
a name I can’t recall
but a face I remember all too well

I had a dream and now that dream has gone away from me

perhaps in the stillness of the dream
we have already begun the work
such a pretty planet
such an ugly world
