lyrics

Holidays
Come & fade away
To euthanize my memory
To suffocate the childrening
To isolate my turnstiles
Churning lighting from the secret things
That I hold close to me

You my dear
Were this to me I fear
Hurdling the guide rail
Leaving contrails in the evening
As the sun set on the holiday
That loved me without warning
And left this morning

You were just a summer sun
Setting in a summer sky
It’s a shame to watch you darken
You were just a setting sun

I don’t want a holiday
That loves & fades away
Whose pretty hand pines for things
That I have yet to make
In my little life of secrets, notebooks
Tiny silver blades
Of LIGHTNING!!!!
