Schr​ö​dinger's Distance

lyrics

Irene and Sandy keep her from me
Maybe it's best
No "how have you been"s and "where will you go "s if you're going
Seems I always hope to hear from you during hurricanes
I expect a world from you, a world away

When you close your eyes what will you see?
And will I fade immediately, as light as a leaf?
The sun behind the clouds is as good as gone
But Ken was right, if I'd get above, it was there all along... But that's just not enough

To believe is to never give the chance to concede
So I chose to tattoo on me, the reminder in chief
But there's nothing as real, a ghost holds my hand
Well, I'll permit it in leave, but you're risking defeat
'Cause what if you turned and nobody would be there?
If nobody would be there...
I know somebody will be there

I sang to the Filipino lady in vain, I wanted her so badly to smile, I knew not her face
A Schrodingerian screen, the movement of her hand
And then she called out to me "is that you playing guitar there?"

Fall asleep with me I want to face the world, my dreams, the emptiness, the open sea
Marry me so we can see all the world, the dreams, the emptiness for what it is
Heaven's lessons, blessings given, uncreated, skies to be drawn and homes to be lived in
Not this rotten prison, all's frozen, all for nothing, let it burn as something never seen again
Alone I go into the void, stumbling, searching all for little lights, just barely living
But together all is working, churning on into the nights, the vast unknown unwritten
In the night, the world alive, laughing, sun is hidden, there's no reason - he's only kidding
