look out

                                       
there is danger even in the simple word hello

             
hiding in the reeds 

                                   
you would not believe where darkness goes


      


 
discovery 

                                             
is the warmth of eyes that leaves us lying in defeat

                
from the tallest trees 

                      
it’s still too hard to see

                
where darkness goes


  


 
tell me

                             
tell me there’s going to be time left

                                       
tell me i’m stupid and i don’t have to worry

          
with the green eyes

                           
the green that comes from reflection

                                
the blankets that do so well to protect us

     
it’s made up

                            
the requests have all been effected

                                      
with distortion and a hiss that’s not undetected

         
and the greenness 

                 
it comes from a window

                             
or a picture or a movie i’ve never been into


                         



flashlights

                                               
try to pull the color from the corners we don’t know

                 
when light is not implied

                 
there’s no way to decide

                 
what’s right or wrong


      



tell me

                 
tell me there’s time left

    
it’s not worth it 

            
worth it to worry

   
the green eyes

                    
the green from reflection

   
the blankets there to protect us

         
it’s been made up

   
the requests are effected

    
with distortion and hiss is undetected

       
and the greenness 


comes from a window

    
or a movie i’ve never been into

       
and you go in


go cause you have to 

        
with the lights dim


credits start rolling

   
the action though it’s before us 

                                              
we look sideways and act like it’s boring tonight


               


                      
greeness         


           
distortion        


           
greeness     


           
movies


   


                
from the tallest trees 

                      
it’s still too hard to see

                
where darkness goes
