lyrics

The hook in my mouth
taken from your tackle box
and wrapped around the wings of a pelican
that watched it go down
through mellow golden irises
and saw your line entangling my skeleton

And I ask myself:

What if we are ghosts
in a lighthouse off the coast?
from the depths there comes a sound
that lets the ships to run aground
Are we paying what we owe?
Do we borrow what we know?
Are we faithless still?

The smoke in your mouth
filtering through water vapor,
sidling through mint leaf and your memory
A thicket of thought,
scouting over synapses
and diving into decomposing energy

It doesn't sit so well
and I ask myself:

What if we are ghosts
in a lighthouse off the coast?
from the depths there comes a sound
that lets the ships to run aground
Are we paying what we owe?
Do we borrow what we know?
Are we faithless still?

It doesn't sit so well
and I ask myself:

What if we are ghosts
in a lighthouse off the coast?
from the depths there comes a sound
that lets the ships to run aground
Are we paying what we owe?
Do we borrow what we know?
Are we faithless still?
Are we faith still? Are we faithless still?
