about

Looking down at her camera I wondered, "who is he?". He was the past for her. She was still clutching to the strands of memory in that small screen. How long would it be until I deleted her pictures? Or would some future love find them and ask the very same question I once did.

lyrics

Small streams of light
My cones and rods flipping you
And bringing you inside
From your, tiny screen
With your, perfect teeth
Oh I wonder how long it'll be
Till I delete you?

You say everything with the things you take and the things you leave
You say everything with the way you feel and what is truth and what is real and what you can be
You say everything, with what is you and what is me?
And who are we
And what role do we play in the scheme
What do all these dreams mean?

Let the light in, abstract a memory
Find it hard to make scene
Just the right tint, the lens in focus
And all the things you make believe, are yourself

You say everything with the things you take and the things you leave
You say everything with the way you feel and what is truth and what is real and what you can be
You say everything, with what is you and what is me?
And who are we
And what role do we play in the scheme
What do all these dreams mean?
