Distance

Small blank paper planes

Head into the rain

And crash next to my feet

Word pour from the wall

And drain off under doors

Stainlessly I'm trapped

Pointless balladry

And broken monody

Can't fill the gaps you left

And so I'm staying here

Waiting for the day to clear

Of all illusion and confusion

Messing with my morning sun

This distance is killing me

Cause the files we share

Got lost somewhere, somewhere

This distance is killing me

Well thought out replies

Will meet your eyes no more

This distance is killing me

And all mending moans

Will reach soft tones no more

No more, no more

Time, time, time machine

Buried in between

The lines of every post

I'm waiting for my remedy

While twitters, twitters tragedy

Technology can't bring us back

I can't say that I'm all in

I can't say that I'm down, no

It's just more that

I can't stand

All illusions

To a non-conclusion

You're wasting in the morning sun

This distance is killing me

Cause the files we share

Got lost somewhere, somewhere

This distance is killing me

Well thought out replies

Will meet your eyes no more

This distance is killing me

And all mending moans

Will find a home no more

This distance is killing me

And my clumsy steps

Will trace your tracks no more

No more, no more

Words dry up, oh

In my lungs just then

Tears run dry without no consequence

From now on I plan on sleeping in

Dream until I am mundane again

I don't wanna play this game

So drop my heart and erase my name

This distance is killing me

Cause the files we share

Got lost somewhere, somewhere

This distance is killing me

Well thought out replies

Will meet your eyes no more

This distance is killing me

And all mending moans

Will find a home no more

This distance is killing me

And my clumsy steps

Will trace your tracks no more
