lyrics

With a pencil and paper I lay
The weight of the world
Between the lines of the page

Either way it’ll all end the same
We’re but remnants of stardust
Slowly floating through space

I’ve tried disappearing
But a fragment always remains

I believe I’ve been stranded in time
Like the Cro-Magnon Man
In his casket of ice

But not to change is to feed my true vice
That’s when the cowardice returns
Am I afraid what I might find?

All that could have been
That should have been

It’s a stain that won’t wash away
A recollection through rose-colored change
Even your favorite shirt will someday fade
So don’t try to keep in the Oregon Rain

Imagery of a once mighty kin
A family branching out like a river that flows
Through the veins under my skin

Yet I stand an outsider on the plain
A desolate reminder of so many
Long unspoken names

I’ve tried disappearing
