she made it / stumbling in over her baggage / taking it all on board / she couldn't take much more / but it's under control / where she can keep an eye and hold / you don't ever want to lose it in transit / find your seat / fish out your walkman, kate / find your breath again / you've had to run all the way to the gate to barely make it / what is it that you can't settle back there / that you settle so far back in your chair? / buckled up / buckling under / under sunglasses / they're to prevent this sight / not for protection / for now and not for brisbane / a tissue balled in a fist / headphones hissing away in your ears / a crackling ascent, loud and over the engines / the inertia isn't nursing / braced to arms not at all embracing / could this momentum ever rob you of your weight? / at least you've got kinesis' blessing / and the heavens to thank you're further away / what is it that you can't settle down there / that you can't settle down while you're up here? / might this ending hard not calm down easier in just an hour'n a half?

she closes her book / and before getting up / checks her lipstick in the reflection / and getting off / steps aside / a feint, her gait in a shopfront pane / ah, the pain of choice / well, it wouldn't be for any lack of time or money / it's really nothing for her to pay / because by her watch darling / it's already half passed a lifestyle made / a different eye dilates / and having taken a look / notes the part in a play of prediction / it's making her laugh / she tries to stop / she might so something silly / ah, the pain of choice / uncertain and not for lack of a mind that's doubting / but to a world well, what would you say? / that finding anything only ever seems half a reason to stay? / oh for god's sake / I'll buy her a watch / darling, she's already half passed a lifetime saved / and runs late enough without having to lament about it / oh yeah / she really shouldn't waste the same hours that you've had

put the gun down / I just want to talk / I can't hear you / you're breaking up / I can't help being static / a rise in the voice marks the descent / as the atmosphere thickens, it quickens the coming apart / a shooting star / shooting down in the darkened half / sometimes the hinges aren't string enough / splinters splitting us, embedded in the floor / some nights don't pass quick enough / nor the walls thick enough for you, or me, or next door / I can't help being static / so the wounds are dressed and each given a name / dated and placed / the records remain / both tired of being the cause of this happening / I'm moving out onto the edge / just out of touch / just about out of everything / careless if I slip, careful where you stand / you say I couldn't care less / I've always been sure of what should not have been said / I've never had to say I love you to death, because we'd both have to dive on that gun and jokingly say... / that it just might have to be that way / you really don't take enough notice of what I'm telling you / you could act as though you give a fuck / I'm sick of disappointing you / you refuse to see me as anything more than what I've been / that's not what I was thinking at all

Where You Are

don't get upset / don't take it as an insult / don't admit for a minute that you forgot where you stood / you know exactly where you are now / don't fall into distress / ignore the ache behind your eyelids / the swarms of your head should relent at the smoke in your hair / you know. there isn't a sting that the hours won't manage / fall into your sleep / as if a soporific sea / the salt of the worst should dissolve in the folds of your sheet / you're afloat why hold on for dear disbelief?
