Nowhere's Clearer

a kind scene

I always wanted to show you

but it's too late

now lost in a state of being

and a way of seeing

that makes it hard to relax

as we both pretend you're not really

pushing yourself away

all words collapse,

untrue but meaning well

I'd say goodbye becomes you



nowhere's clearer,

I doubt nowhere's clearer tonight

I'm out of sight

and I'll turn deeply, deeply unkind

just to spare what's still alive

in my heart



I could hear you sob and moan

for someone you actually

loved to come home

or to reappear in a good dream

stayed away until morning came

saw all them stars and satellites

slowly fade into pale blue

as if ashamed

of what everyday does to you



nowhere's clearer,

I doubt nowhere's clearer tonight

I'm sorry, alright

it's me again,

me against the world against you

I will lose too



trust and betrayals

tools to delay us

getting away with all our great things

all the little evil doings

we're falling off

maps and mountains
