Hiroshima 02:56
pictures in a museum still my heart, I'm speechless sidewalks where people stood until the day Hiroshima changed outlined, a silhouette etched upon the cement the people, mutilated ghosts I saw them, in 1945 an image in a museum of the day Hiroshima changed an image in a museum of the day Hiroshima changed somebody tell me why somebody tell me why somebody tell me why somebody tell me why

this sea side room with ghosts in full bloom swells and swarms like a ship in a storm but the captains gone mad so the crew they all left and the lighthouse is gone which means we're so far from home this sea side room with ghosts in full bloom sheds violent light and broken sounds through my mind you've become a filtered surreal and fading fast now you've become a shadow and I'm seasick on land
3.
Sparrow 04:42
we are forever young that’s what grandfather told me I never heard much then outside are icicles forming but we are just like the fire that kept that old cottage warm and we can share what we've got otherwise your heart will rot you can feel old on a cold day as long as when there is sun you live life like a sparrow darting from one place to one until you're finally tired then you can fly back home and hope for more sun tomorrow we are forever young but we are far from eternal and where we go when it's done is nothing like the inferno that we were taught to fear don't worry dear, there's nothing there
4.
Old Houses 05:12
old houses, where the suburbs turn to mountains after all electricity had been long since drained from the city apocalypse came and went and those who stayed could no longer see the sun these distant lights that I saw in a dream or was I awake driving down the highway I'm a ghost on the road and these distant lights they'll guide me back home somewhere on the farthest side of summer under the multicolored skyline we all lost track of time we told our stories to the ocean and then the ocean started rising under the multicolored skyline somewhere near the other side
5.
Drive 02:44
to spark the heart take the wires from your car wrap them 'round your arms and tell the driver to go to calm your head you need think only of the dead eternal rest until your tongue finds the words
6.
in passing it was mentioned that there's a highway once taken leads nowhere, yeah not to heaven and not to hell, but somewhere in the middle of shadows, a quick reflection outside your window, vivid forgotten where people you swore you loved once reach for you, pass through you where you can access the calm collected dreams of millions just for a second in passing, it was mentioned that there’s a highway once taken leads nowhere forever leads nowhere forever leads nowhere forever leads nowhere forever
7.
the scientist, he burns his research repaints the walls of his infinity ward autumn sets his yard of fire as cryptic notes and numbers fall from his veins you are a light shining in the depths of the darkest of nights to remind me what I forgot about all ghosts will go in time the scientist, and years of acid fall away and leave no sign of the times a sterile room, recycled airflow no view of the world, not even a window on the desk just one photo a handmade frame but he's forgotten her name her face was bright but once she left him his brain went strange and his words were chemicals

EVP 02:09
cold sounds, flooding out the brick walls of this old house i turn around i could have sworn i heard someone there stoned haze, all the lights are low and everyone stays i turn around i could have sworn i heard someone there
9.
she said come with me we're going to a party everyone will be there and there's no better place on this whole godforsaken planet to watch the supernova cars stopped on the roads small towns have been abandoned everybody fled for cities with a generator though the sun was gone the city street lamps shown serenely the only lights left illuminated by pollution there's no more trains to board the spring rains burn another planet lost the far watchers watch even if the oceans froze who'd be left to notice a lightning storm of thought watch time stillness
