the slow burn of time is dull and unforgiving
you miss watching paint dry when you notice that it's chipping
i imagine you looking for a spot in the snow
driving slow down narrow roads
and in this vision you are always driving alone
wants to dye his hair black but his mom and dad won't let him
somewhat heartened by the fact they seem to be really paying attention
from this perspective on the memory
you catch your reflection and like what you see
can almost make out the vague shape of a family
between this moment and the sunrise you won't say another word
the highway from your mind to the world beyond your eyes
is closed for the night
and you will take comfort in your own company
come tomorrow who can say what will become of any of these dreams
only hope that you'll know that
i'm listening
