lyrics

When you called me by my first name,
I looked around, waiting for somebody else to respond.
'Cus these days I've been surname-comma-Christopher,
or go by the last four digits of numbers assigned to me.

When you reached out a hand, I flinched first,
then "hello," and got in my head about whether you noticed.
Now the world in my cerebrum's hanging out,
I push in the right front corner and more spills out of the back.

If you're told it's illusion,
does that change anything?
Can't you pretend on purpose,
or believe anyway?
And when you see the fishing line, just look away?

The soft face of an angel from a picture book
is watching as all of your life unfolds.
Orange soda and crackers on a white tablecloth,
so this might not mean much to you, no good reason to stress out.

Call it an omen, call it what you will,
but I saw ten thousand vultures circling.
I'm more curious now than anxious which is good,
but none of the experts I contacted emailed me back.

A black flag on the ocean
bobbing in and out of sight
in a circular motion
that makes it harder to say if it
is moving closer or moving away.
