Skipping Stones

I've been thinking about you and me To me, me's easy to see You're tangled in time A mess of proteins luck and grime We all know, a skipping stone Across the ocean, has nowhere to go And the waves, rolling around Make it stop, before it figures out It sinks down, down, down to the ocean floor Never finds out, out, out what it was for No one knows it lays there now It never figures out, we never figure out A reluctance to change A persistence of strange And you're falling through the cracks What a time to turn our backs A plucked rose, white as snow Stuck in a vase has nowhere to grow And the eyes that wander by Praise the beauty of a lesser kind Petals fall, fall, fall in time Thorns lose their bite Eyes watch, watch, watch and normalize They fall in time, it's normalized Fall in time Fall in time Fall in time Fall in time Fall in time Fall in time Fall in time Fall in time Petals fall, fall, fall in time Thorns lose their bite Eyes watch, watch, watch and normalize They fall in time, it's normalized
