lyrics

I set your fragrance aside
And felt all high and everything
And lived inside that love for a while

They called me sick when it died
Just like poppies in the spring
There’s opium in living a lie

You’re not the type
You’re asking why
There’s a shaman on the lawn

Try
Why don’t you try?
That other guy
Is just a pagan of the dawn
The dawn

Oleander
Use your sense
And sit inside the radiance
With me

Oleander
Sing this song
Sing it like we both belong
In dreams
In dreams

Petals pressed on the page
Fragile fragments of our youth
Drying with the passing days

I put myself in a rage
Watching you blossom into truth
And smoke yourself into a haze

What did you say?
Is this the way
That I come apart again?
If so
Please let me know
Where I do I go
When I cross the line again?
Again.

Motions are what motions do
And that is what I’m going through
Heartless in the moment, but it’s duty anyway
Memories are crystalline
They shimmer in the summer sheen
And remind me of a beauty queen
Whose beauty never fades
