Canopy

Beneath the canopy of electric art
False pageantry
Beneath the circuitry we breathe
And find ourselves still stuck
In spaces in between
How could one thing ever go so wrong?

So wake up
And scratch your eyes alive
We're always
Always needing more

The beat's alive
She laughs out loud
Soft and in motion

I catch my breaths
On nights like this
In hands that can't hold them

She fights for sleep
Over and over
(and it feels the same)
She fights for sleep
Over and over
(as the faces change)

Buried in the dream
She laughs like you
You laugh like me and
Sometimes we just have to scream
Sister dear still stuck down
In spaces in between
She wonders
How could one thing go so wrong?
