Plastic Flowers

I caught your laughter Through the twilight radio You're coming home Vignettes to echo so that I remember how the story goes You're made of autumn nights And I sleep with a ghost And all I know Is I hope this apprehension Leaves before my body goes What did your Summer harvest bring? Rising sun Where have you been? I've been holding on To all these things Since your birthday in the spring Guess it hasn't lost its ring Now the birds in April sing your memory I'll keep you ordinary And I will keep our lies discreet The second seed blown in Lives inside the shadow of the first one The one final place you'll never go Is right where I stand What did your Summer harvest bring? Rising sun Where have you been? I've been holding on To all these things Since your birthday in the spring Guess it hasn't lost its ring Now the birds in April sing your memory And I meant it when I said You make the patterns in my head Feel more like a color wheel (Than grayscale tedium) Yes I'm fallen king Slighted queen of broken things Sleeping like the living dead So unaware
