The Distance Is Nearsighted

歌詞

I've only been away a week Ago I left my house My hometown is a photograph My mouth quits, clicks, no noise Pollution outside every airport Parking drive around A round circles under eyes Language class text don't speak The distance is near-sighted And how far away is calculated in days And the distances gets nearer-sighted Till the far away extends out, expires, and dies. Softly whispered schedule Of movements from a space A place mat organizing file folders Getting bigger Thicker accents start to swell Slowly outwards towards the shoreline Connecting dots where buildings Grow up, fuck, and rot to dust The distance is near-sighted And how far away is calculated in days And the distance gets nearer-sighted Till the far away extends out, expires, and dies. A slow hour turns and passes away A ways always in the air Travel show them proof of Miles flown into the waveless sea I see the world won't stop moving A loop, it's static. Still nights vanish, Sleep is a dream where the distance is near-sighted And how far away is calculated in days And the distance gets nearer-sighted Until the far away extends out, expires, and dies.
