Incurable sun

Impossible morning

Boardwalk seagulls

Diving to their death

Invisible chalk

Preserving your memory

What would it take

To get you to see me?

Learned a million ways

To put up with less

Well I know that silver tide

Changes under a magnet

But could that ocean floor

Still be right where we left it?

Beauty deranged

Like a green snake crossing

Or how oil spilled in water

Makes color appear

Or the fear that I feel

When you're singing right to me

Undressing, we laugh

At our pale naked bodies

And the closer you get to me

All the farther you feel

Gotta lay that secret bare

Or you'll watch it turn tragic

Maybe underneath that veil

Is truth as we found it

Thirty plastic swans

Circling the lake

The cruelty that you are

And the fool that I make

Blind loyalty betrays you

Like yellow hills are gonna burn

You and I might never learn

You can scale the Great Wall

But you can't turn to face me

I see those patterns printed all

Over myself too

But I keep pushing that boulder

Uphill 'til something moves

And I thought we were getting older

But you're right where I left you
