lyrics

So senselessly obscure
Flashing out of faze
Overturned stones above
Hover inside your hands

Things keep happening so very fast
Control or capture to break down
Reaction descending out of your grasp
Rise to connect solid ground

Sometimes, the flying things - things with wings swoop low
Sometimes, they carry you off and destroy everything

A red line, a red sea
A red thing you’ll never be
A red cage of stumbling green

Conniptions in the glass
Children talk of sound
Life is an attaché case of senseless talk

Sudden breakage of all the reason to pick up and talk to yourself
Crossing channels of indecision, a fake of the pets you have lost

Spin circles in your face to attach safeguards
Things seem to make more sense
After the fury passes

To cross lines of living
To cut through reality
A red cage of stumbling green

It’s just a flashing light
In front of your face
These sights of glowing roofs
Try to understand

Things keep happening so very fast
It can be so hard to control
Change of contemplation in and at last
Too late to make anything stand

Sometimes, the flying things - things with wings swoop low
Sometimes, they carry you off and destroy everything

A red line, a red sea
A red thing you’ll never be
A red cage of stumbling green
