lyrics

Orange Traffic Cones

She thinks of salt and the sea
As if they could be the source of her sweat and tears
Like blood to wine

And the sweaty ocean breeze
Could melt the limits of what is from the outside
And what goes inside (her shirt)

And while the enemy sleeps
She plans to get as far as she can
From that sparkling coast

Because the bad days come with the waves
That keeps crashing hard against the sand
To make it sing like one deaf mermaid

And as she packs her days to escape
From the plans that she once dared to plan
Her eyes roll deep into the void of hours of sleep
To let tomorrow come

She steers the steering wheel
Driving past tens of thousands
Of flashy orange traffic cones

That slash the night like a tear
And leads her to the house
That she never really felt like home

Because the bad days, hell, they keep spinning
Like letters in a hurricane
In a deadly dance outside her window

And as she packs her days with the strains
Of this lingering lowering
Her eyes fall deep into the void of her own self
Until tomorrow comes

Yeah all these bad days, they always creep in
Like voices from the afterworld
To yell at her things she does not know yet

That leaves her drained and bewildered,
Spat out like a river by a desert road
Or a page filled with uninspired imagery
Until tomorrow comes
And the day is done
So it makes no sense at all
To keep hiding from the sun
Like a loaded gun
To save the things she can't recall
