now you know (part two)

i cannot separate the molecules in the air
and hold them in my hands to love
because they are everywhere at once

i hope you understand

i can hold every second in all the minutes
and love them separately and the same
because that's what keeps me sane

i hope you understand

if you wash away the gray on my skin
you will see that i'm as blue as the sky
though that is often the reason you cry

i hope you understand
that this is what it feels like

i built a house made
out of plastic with
an eggshell floor and
i will open the doors
for you when you walk
through because
your the only one
i wanna do that for
the only one i wanna
do that for
your the only one
i wanna do that for.

simply silly how the
sounds bounce from
room to room and
the shadows never
seem to leave
i built the house with
crazy glue that bounces
off me and sticks to you
bounces off me and
sticks to you
it bounces off me and
sticks to you.

we are breathing the
stalest air and
nothing ever feels new
except the space
between me and you
this may be a count down
to something huge
said by me and not by you
but at least i've got
something new
at least i've got something
new
at least i've got me and you.

the dark side of the earth (offset)

when my mind runs backwards
i scream you scream
we all scream, like lightning

when i look at myself
i scream you scream
we all scream, i'm frightening

and it's funny
you wont answer
any of my calls
no matter how loud,
and i'm making
shadows out of the
words you said floating
over the earth like
satellites, only less bright

when i see the sun
i scream you scream
we all scream, so brightly

when my words burn me
i scream you scream
we all scream, for ice cream

and it's funny
how i hear your face
and see your lies
and smell your curves
and feel your perfume
and imagine your warmth
on my cold shoulders
even when i'm sleeping
under bright blankets

when this earth burns me
i scream i scream
i scream i scream
