Blue Light Disco

(album: Self Talk - 2016)

Sometimes I don't know what you see in me
The loose knit of what TV used to mean
You get caught up in the theme songs
Not the blue reach of kissed stars
Or the cracked teeth of sets in the gutter
You see it as
A blue light disco
(Falling on the waves)

And hope falls like cut kite strings
Releasing paper parts from their diamond dreams
When the heart's at sea level
Gonna see a simple light
As a blue light disco

In the backyard like some drunk uncle
A jumping castle is taking on water
More water to learn how to walk on
And in sleep with our hands held
Tied to this point, as we dream
Of different cities to fold into

Tree roots
Like desire, ends
A thousand souls
Found their way here as sand
Having seen you from the edges as
This
A blue light disco
