Fell Through - The Rare Occasions

In a hundred million ways

I had lost the nerve to say

How every fiber of the heart

Is pulled from nothing at the start

So as it spun out of control

Should I have sought the half or whole?

For I can see the now from then

Will never know this place again

Out of focus, out of time everybody needs a little light

Anechoic passersby have seen the little sea within her eyes

And I don’t even have to be bold enough to shake the floor

To be the driftless, silken glimmer shining at her door

I’ll leave it to conviction alone until I’ve seen the truth

We were tangled in our hopes before they fell through

Must I smash apart the phone

To drown the contrapuntal drone?

They say it’s just a little noise

But what’s a loss that don’t destroy?

Out of focus, out of time everybody needs a little light

Anechoic passersby have seen the little sea within her eyes

And I don’t even have to be bold enough to shake the floor

To be the driftless, silken glimmer shining at her door

I’ll leave it to conviction alone until I’ve seen the truth

We were tangled in our hopes before they fell through
