Two shadows on the rise
In these flashing states of mind
Two shadows on the rise
Two shadows on the rise
The sky
Sometimes, when I'm walking my dog, the sun hits us at the right angle. We look like giants, titans. Our shadows are cast the length of an entire street. I wonder if that's where this image came from.
Also, sometimes when I don't get enough sleep and I get up and go to the gym, some of the things I dreampt of the night before still seem very present. For example, on Wednesday morning, I drempt that anti-freeze was pouring from my dashboard into my car as I was driving. As I drove to the gym, I thought briefly that I saw anti-freeze spew its way out of the AC vents. Didn't happen. I drempt it about five minutes before that, though. The mind can still be partially asleep at sunrise. That's where the verses come from.
Ten seconds of silence
In between your voice and the dark
Hush my love
See the pinrolls (?) dancing
At the quiet gates of dawn
Yeah, here they come
Forging lightning in the sky
The velvet lights the paintbrush skyline
The white wine sea
The arctic blush, the sugar highs
The candy canes and honey bees
Can you see me?
Forging lightning in the sky
Two shadows on the rise
Forging lightning in the sky
Forging lightning in the sky
Two shadows on the rise
Forging lightning in the sky
