Halo and Grain

Ripped up clouds, a jaw of sky
Clamping down behind your eyes
The cursor pins you to the screen
It's not a fate worth imagining

Gold pours through the heart
Your assassin hits restart
You glitter across tinfoil seas

I miss the halo and the grain
No one to man the eye
We used to flicker at the gate
And watch the cells fly by

You lost it all on the Blow Up green
A missing body for history
A diorama to simulate
I found your hair caught in the gate

Waves collapse again
Roll up your skeleton
Take the measurement of loss

I miss the radio and the sand
The threat beyond the sky
We never worried how to land
I don't remember being high

Waves collapse again
Roll up your skeleton
You glitter across tinfoil seas

I miss the halo and the grain
No one to man the eye
We used to flicker at the gate
And watch the cells fly by

I miss the radio and the sand
The threat beyond the sky
We never worried how to land
I don't remember being high
