Contraband – Accelerated Sunrise lyrics

Accelerated sunrise
Thinking only of her eyes
Black shiny widening meek calm bleak

Arising out of the deep
Awakening from sleep
10,000 feet above 10,000 lakes

Back on the mainland
Who is her main man

Bernoulli keeps my body in the air
Despite the ailerons my heart is still down there
With the one who cuts the paper fair

The curvature of the earth
Does not compare to hers
I feel a fool to not know what occurs

Must not be worried my heart
Beats hurried as I start
To feel the pull of gravitation back

Coal smoke from train's stack
Who laid this train track

Hunters gatherers built this town by hand
Then broke and danced the night away to a twelve-piece band
You live happier living off the land

There's someone left in the west
Who will join me on my quest
It's time to right all the wrong in sight

But wait before you give up
Sew your stitch into this cloth
Going down to the three meetings with the three-toed sloth

Halt referenda
Two last addenda

One and only one will ring complete
I'm sending out a ciphered plea with no return receipt
To gather strength and finalize the fleet

Though those who send energy
Don't send an ease of use
I ain't immune to the thoughts of the noose

I used to die every day
Her footsteps turned my way
Yet now I live without that abuse

Ear to the seashell
Who hears the sea swell

Our makeshift dam won't hold against the tide
A fleeting thought of grandma and what they told me of how she died
The gods were killers when they knelt and cried

Sunset dilated I stare thinking only of her hair
Black shiny lazy untangled sweet

Reminding me of a day when things were still okay
Back when my skin was without a crease

Bit by a birth shark
I still have the birth mark

Never never never rescue me
Never never never will I want to leave
Don't you pin my report card to my sleeve
