Plant Life 03:37
Velvet smile Lingers awhile Move so slow In the afterglow Low eyelids Lick my lips Taste a wish Let it slip Spiral bound So spun out Spiral bound So spun out Pass right through Shades of yellow and blue Its webs of smoke That bleed the most Crack the light That’s alright When it drips beside Your smiling eyes Another night Air so wild A thousand sighs Its the laughing time Spiral bound So spun out Spiral bound So spun out

Magic Eye 04:17
Write you back Between the lines of memories Left unread This paperback filled with dust What’s more true Than chemicals and words to you I never knew Why life is like a magazine sometimes Shoot a star back cross my sky Find yourself Inside a magic eye Wish I had that tunnel vision To read between the lines Pull apart The butterflies and daffodils Decorate With heart shaped I’s in purple ink Summertime Fading from the blue lined sheets But hold it close Never let those daydreams go Oh no You know Fly back down to my window Find yourself Inside a magic eye Wish I had that tunnel vision To read between the lines Find yourself Inside a magic eye Wish I had that tunnel vision To read between the lines

I’ve seen the golden lights before Glowing, in the convenience store Each isle glistens and it gleams Tuna cans stacked up, floor to ceiling Wish I could shine as bring them all Like the bulb of cinema lens I could be someone they never forget Is it a crime? If I see my name in lights along the marquee Each day I pray That Tinseltown will find a place for me And is it crime? If I see my name displayed across the silver screen It might seem wrong But I know my life will wind up like a movie And every night I relive the dream In the mirror acting out my favorite scene Every line I know to a T With the perfect looks to keep me on the silver screen Is it a crime? If I see my name in lights along the marquee Each day I pray That Tinseltown will find a place for me And is it crime? If I see my name displayed across the silver screen It might seem wrong But I know my life will wind up like a movie

Sliding back From what I lack A taste for simple things Black and white Cloudless night A nervous smile drawn across the sky Its not enough this paper cup Crumpled up Hold me in your gentle arms again Here outside the stars Signs align again Here outside the stars Tossing it all against the wind Constellation cracks A thousand shards across the season skies Close my eyes to The sound of the world Smoke rings playing across my TV set again Here outside the stars Signs align again Here outside the stars Tossing it all against the wind I want to take you back Beneath the starlight Outside isolation comes Here outside the stars Signs align again Here outside the stars Tossing it all against the wind
