Future Reflections

And there were future reflections

On the face and the hands

On a green colored island

On a primitive man

It was the future reflected

It felt familiar but new

A street was missing a building

The kids had something to do

There was a feeling the spirit was leaving
Red like a marker

So my tribe, with my knife
Cut the heart from a lonely life

I saw patterns on floorboards

Deep in the dust was a leader

Someone was walking on floorboards

Turned them from oak to cedar

He can assess the situation

I wrapped a string around my finger

Into the forest with the young ones

I dont expect to be a winner

But as long as you feel it
Im a believer
My heart is phosphor

Sea rolls and death tolls
Break the surface dont break my bones

Off of the trail and off of your hands and
Onto a new plan

Is the cost to stay lost
Forever in an empty skin
Pale and thin

If its good, or if its fortune, I cant tell

But pieces come together
for some reason just as well

Their guns couldnt see us
Theres a sea outside my door

And one day Ill appreciate
The rush of blood
and the washed out beat of the shore

And remember what it felt like

To be alone

Sitting in the sunlight

All alone
