R.E.M.

Intertwined
That endless visionary lie
Forgotten languages
Conquering perspectives
If it isn't all just dots and lines

Well where we go when the loneliness is rampant
Is the same as where you smile free
You can be my echo
If I can be your favorite musing

Some delay in meaning
Like a second where everyone gives in
To your yellow-toothed temptation
To the facade we're all dying to jump in

Underneath the ink and poison
Live all the words you cannot say
Staring with a handful of flowers
At a mirror and another way

So let me fall down mercifully
And close my tired eyes
R.E.M. and fantasy
Into your youthful sighs
You hand me another promise
That I fill up
And drink
And think 'maybe tomorrow...'

I'm not dreaming
I wont escape
All the symbols of
The meanings
That no one ever meant
And when it falls to pieces
Will the ocean swallow it?
I knew you were never one of them.
