Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Reflections of Tania in the water
Painting with color
Boat on fire
Whispering to every angry daughter
Our imaginings reaching
For backward desire
Madness is like a marble
Between your thumb and finger
Long after it's gone
It's presence still lingers
Holding your thoughts
Releasing your breath
Rehearsing your repertoire
Forget lines, names and faces
Get us outta here
Nothing was the same
I slipped into a shadow
And I acted kind of strange
The mind begins narrow
And at first it's rather plain
Straight just like an arrow
But it's shape begins to change
Guess it just goes to show
And the sun
And the smoke
And the tears
Get in your eyes
And you run
And you choke
And you're laughing
As you cry
Insane then
Ecstatic again
Losing my grip
In love with this
And I know that I will never say it again
That wishing existence never ever began
And I know that I will never come here again
Heading back into sunset
