tear it apart, tear it apart try and put it back together today turns to tomorrow tomorrow to forever the words that we are speaking are just adding to the noise till the day it all goes silent til the day it all goes black i don't have an easy answer i don't even know the question anymore waiting for the bus just to watch the people pass mothers with their strollers students late for class somewhere, somewhere there is always somewhere you gotta be if i could just be patient the whole world would come to me don't have an easy answer don't even know the question anymore i took off my clothes i climbed into a tree with his one good eye the moon looked down at me am i dreaming? why should i really care i woke up in the morning leaves tangled in my hair

pretty bird 02:30
oh pretty bird i love to hear you sing but you won't belong to anyone you just belong to spring when i wake up in the morning when i go to sleep at night oh pretty bird I've never known someone so free the way you hop from branch to branch the way you fly from tree to tree when you wake up in the morning when you go to sleep at night maybe your freedom is a lie maybe your prison is the sky maybe you are looking back at me wishing somehow you were free

orange light 04:25
we climbed all day until the sun went down we could see the soft glow from a faraway town i rolled out my bag on the cold hard ground staring into the flames as they were dying down listening close to the howling of a dog somewhere in the canyon singing into the fog the sun climbed up the eastern slopes hanging through the trees like yellow rope we packed up our things and we headed down back to our lives back to our town back to our problems back to our jobs
