Sneezes

from Neotenic EP by Radio Wire Empire

/

lyrics

Sometimes I look at her

and I can see our lives

once we’ve grown older;

but there are never faces.

Our wrinkled, peach pit cheeks

hide from my imagination.

We’re shrouded in different clothes,

surrounded by heavier furniture

and tinier versions of our own silhouettes.


We’ve sprouted into something

close to our intentions,

but somehow better—more organic;

and I don’t see people that will die

like fought back sneezes—

painful muffled thunder,

seeds buried too late (or not at all).



We are not our parents,

drowning adults without friends,

broken by comfortable careers;

we’ve people to escape with

so when we return home we’re happy

to pass silently into the bedroom

and whisper goodnight to a better friend.

You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs
