Lost Foundations

Remember the perilous night at the bridge when you rose,
to engage in a fight that had broken the bridge of your nose?
The tension as dense in the air as the humidity,
when the sun dropped and the forest never seemed so deep
Chorus:
My inner sense of innocence is gone now,
Oh the strangeness (how foundations can seem lost now)
Remember the lass in the sun dress who you always hoped
would never notice your quivering voice when you spoke?
The tension as dense as the text in your old diary,
inspired by her to fill like the rose in your cheeks!
Chorus
My inner sense of innocence is gone now,
Oh the strangeness (how foundations can seem lost now)
Remember the days riding karts around cones set in rows
Foreshadowing hazards that shattered and sent friend in droves
The tension would mount as our stress as we grew through our teens
when wonder was dropped and inspired our humility
I know we're sums of everything we were combined
Oh, it's no help when yearning to return sometimes

April Day
03:09
|

The open window rays of sunshine lonely nights no longer mine
a decadent day on peaceful waves a twist of fate with no more games
clattering souls and watchful eyes
can't stop the wolf from peering what's inside
it smells the fear that creeps just past the honesty of what won't last
The woods are never clear
but spots of truth will eventually appear
clandestine dreams of tears
from from her youth a sorrowful delivery of life
it always finds a way on such an April Day

On my back on the way to Tecumseh
In the hard bed of Estevan's truck
The rickety vehicle was rusty and clumsy
I, mesmerized by the heavens above
The backdrop was indigo, freckled with stars
marbling cataracts of milky gray clouds
Skateboards rattled while the celestial reel
played its ancient and breathtaking cinema out
Streetlamps were jealous old men with poor posture
whizzing by casting a wizened glow
stars twinkled playfully, and I'm thinking,
“maybe she's holding back secrets that no one can know”
The zodiac eternity a constant
rolling past modernity's nonsense
I watched a modern montage in my periphery
The earthly display was modest
A pity, it's pretty petty in contrast
with the majestic night sky twilight epiphany
what if creatures in some sort of saucer
also observe this conveyor belt film?!
The Earth just a marble, the curious marvel
the emptiness of space and how wonderment can fill
the cold wind in my hair
the stars gleam in my stare
the engine and laughter there
roared riots in my ears
The air in my lungs felt fresh
and at home in its room
comforted I felt blessed
like life might be telling the truth

R.E.M.ember
05:32

My hometown haunt was sparse in parks to play in
Yet never bored, our sparks illuminated
like insects soared then jarred that glowed when shaken
our spokes adorned with cards that roared when racing
Chorus:
It seems my youth was an unfettered dream
Now beds are where we wrestle with our sheets
As at slumber parties when we'd never sleep
Now I can see the R.E.M. in “Memory”
Dug massive trenches that flanked backyard sheds
Swung as bats from branches, blood flushed our heads
Shrug off countless wounds incurred in accidents
Jump back up and say “hey let's do that again!”
Chorus
It seems my youth was an unfettered dream
Now beds are where we wrestle with our sheets
As at slumber parties when we'd never sleep
Now I can see the R.E.M. in “Memory”
Dashing through the cool air at night
Breathless manhunts far past bedtimes
Beaming beacons (parents' flashlights)
The true beacon: our friends that hide
Where are they now? Where are they now?
Do they redden when their world feels upside down?
Do they still search for their friends?
Do they dream of me, as I do them?
Do they chase anything these days?
Can they jump up from their scrapes and pains?
Do they know the joys of digging deeply?
Do they still have trouble sleeping?
Is it out of sheer excitement..
Or the restless stress of life that's lifeless?!
It seems my youth was an unfettered dream
Now beds are where we wrestle with our sheets
As at slumber parties when we'd never sleep
Now I can see the R.E.M. in “Memory”
