Satellites and Their Signals
The Ripping And Tearing Ritual
how could a year be so cruel
injecting days with all my memories of you
now every night i put on your clothes
till i fall asleep on the living room floor
pull a drape across my eyes
let the scene go out for miles
shut the lights
cut the tape
burn the film delete everything
pull the chord
kill the script
a plot cut short and dearly missed
i set your shadow against the stage
while curtain backgrounds wrapped around your face
and now every time i release the scene
you come back up inside of every dream
in your wake i came apart
your bones washed out in the dark
shut the lights
cut the tape
burn the film delete everything
pull the chord
kill the script
wipe these thoughts i wont resist
ill wade in a pool outside these walls
till you find me half way
ill wait as your soul keeps moving on
and i can catch it in my arms
you would loath to see me swim
around the inside of my head
and in the reverie
of every sleepless night
when i size your fate
right up to mine
you are the satellite
and i am its signal
so when my thoughts give out
the scene becomes visible
i just need some peace
from you haunting me
