Motion Sickness

(album: Dissonants - 2016)

How could I miss you if never met you
If that road turned some other way and never looked back?

There's a feeling, overwhelming, like I couldn't belong
Without this point of contact; everything would be wrong
Stop motion on the ceiling, skipped frames, and I'm forgetting the in-between

When the world is spinning and I am standing still,
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still, you flicker
If I never knew what I'd lost, you flicker
And I turn around and you're gone? You flicker

A moment lost, is not so eas'ly found
If that glance turned some other way and never looked back?

There's a feeling, overwhelming, this is where I belong
This melody, inseparable from singing the song
I'm floating on the feeling, skipped beats and I'm forgetting the in-between

When the world is spinning and I am standing still
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still....
You flicker

If I never knew what I've lost (you flicker)
And I turn around, and you're gone (you flicker)

If you turn left and I turn right
Would the curves of the earth
Bring our paths back to cross again

Would I trust fate
To bring back the tide
Or would I dive head first
To feel you on my skin

(You flicker)

If I never knew what I've lost (you flicker)
And I turn around, and you're gone (you flicker)

When the world is spinning and I am standing still (you flicker)
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still (you flicker)
