I came out of Spokane one windy night
Looking for seminal landscapes of light
Out the car window I watched the sun ignite
Her body was there in the passenger chair
As she rested her chin on her palm half asleep
The forest was quiet as it was deep and I walked with her
And I wanted her lips like some nicotine fix
As that moment surreal began to exist
I forgot about our past and all her other lovers
And stared like a child into her cursed eyes
Like a cannon extinguished the moment it dies
The mind plays tricks when love is in disguise
The closest exit's behind you, let go
I left on the red eye one lonely night
Looking for seminal landscapes of light
Out the plane window I watched the clouds ignite
My hands were like seasons withoudt a divide
Her body rotating, her curves were alive
No more a memory, somehting filled up inside
Just one hint of reason expelled out like flames
An inferno of guilt as I surrendered to her name
I'd sworn to myself never ever again
But i stared like a child into her cursed eyes
A cannon extinguished the moment it dies
The mind plays tricks when love is in disguise
The closest exits'behind, let go
