lyrics

I had a dream I was singing your song
only it wasn't a dream
as we drove through a scene
of intense obscured imagery
imagination aids

and I'd really like to hold your hand
but it's an impossible physicality
when atoms always have space between them
but share electrons
if I was a train engine
I'd have to let you conduct me
because I'd be too engaged
in the passive aggressive sound
of my train whistle

I'm looking for
more words
a language I can speak
now the tablets they've all got screens
rock paper scissors score
no need for pencils anymore
