Vivid

I bury all my anger
But it echoes in the ground
It echoes in the ground
I plead in a foreign language
But you recognize the sound
You recognize the sound

Is justice just too timid
It goes rigid like it's bound
Or it's nowhere to be found
This waking dream is vivid
I wish they'd blur it out
I wish they'd blur it out

Like faces on rollercoasters
Like slogans on rain-soaked posters
Like lovers without their glasses
Tears on their lashes

We wander through the farmland
Seek static in the maze
We're out of it for days
Sink slow into the quicksand
We're holding at our lips
And smile between the sips

But when we fog the windows
Old battle lines appear
The plans we drew so clear
The fire that cast the shadows
Sends smoke into our eyes
Demanding that we rise

Like faces on rollercoasters
Like slogans on rain soaked posters
Defying the laws that told us
The sky couldn't hold us

Making space for the star-crossed
On the couch where the coats get tossed
Under cardboard and pizza sauce
Love gets lost

Clear the counters, a fresh start
Fold the boxes around your heart
Then see their name on the chore chart
And fall apart

Like faces on rollercoasters
Like slogans on rain soaked posters
Watch and you'll see them shaking
And know that you're waking
