lyrics

Dividing oceans
Land of free
Molecules of air I breathe
In the cosmos
But not here;
She is everything
But everywhere

Native roads
And alchemy
Foreign hills
And agony
Happiness
But i don't care;
Cuz she is everything
But everywhere

Departures
Maddening delays
Intransigence
Reluctant change
Memories
Emerge in pairs
She is everything but everywhere

Oh!
Time ain’t gonna stop
Not for fantasy
And surely not
For us
So long.

Paper scars
And litanies
Triumphs
And indignities
Guilt, attrition
Sultry stares;
She is everything
But everywhere

City lights
And hollow skies
Airless nights
And border lines
Imitators
Sweet and bare;
She is everything
But everywhere

Amity
And blue-lit flame
Embers
And the grey remains
Fits of Laughter
Desperate prayer;
She is everything
But everywhere

Oh!
Time ain’t gonna stop
Not for fantasy
And definitely not
For us
Farewell.

Around the corner
In my dreams
Behind the curtains
In the breeze
In the lovers
Fine but near;
She is everywhere
Except for here
