Vivid Lyrics

I bury all my anger

But it echoes in the ground

It echoes in the ground

I plead in a foreign language

But you recognize the sound

You recognize the sound

Is justice just too timid

It goes rigid like it's bound

Or it's nowhere to be found

This waking dream is vivid

I wish they'd blur it out

I wish they'd blur it out

Like faces on rollercoasters

Like slogans on rain-soaked posters

Like lovers without their glasses

Tears on their lashes

We wander through the farmland

Seek static in the maze

We're out of it for days

Sink slow into the quicksand

We're holding at our lips

And smile between the sips

But when we fog the windows

Old battle lines appear

The plans we drew so clear

The fire that cast the shadows

Sends smoke into our eyes

Demanding that we rise

Like faces on rollercoasters

Like slogans on rain soaked posters

Defying the laws that told us

The sky couldn't hold us

Making space for the star-crossed

On the couch where the coats get tossed

Under cardboard and pizza sauce

Love gets lost

Clear the counters, a fresh start

Fold the boxes around your heart

Then see their name on the chore chart

And fall apart

Like faces on rollercoasters

Like slogans on rain soaked posters

Watch and you'll see them shaking

And know that you're waking
