lyrics

if and when
we had the end in mind
were we betrayed
by our own foresight?
a vacant sky
with no stars in sight
your eyes like sand
in oysters closed tight

you cast your net so far
that you’ll never bring it in
and if you did you’d wish
you’d thrown it off the other end
and all these pieces
but nothing whole
and its dying in our hands

but did you hear?
the crippled church in prayer
its rattling sign
oh, sweet soliloquy
i take your hand
as shadows sidle by
return to where?
erased by streetlights

you cast your net so far
that you’ll never bring it in
and if you did you’d wish
you’d thrown it off the other end
and all these pieces
but nothing whole
and its dying in our hands

i stand between two thieves
stealing moment and memory
but where do you stand?
do you stand with me?
