Lyrics by Justin Keeling. Music/video by Preston Wagner (a.k.a. Big Teeth) with permission.

are you asleep?

who are you, really?

what are you?

-

She sleeps on the horizon

draped in lavender

and she sings in her dreams

of dames in Long Island

as they swim in sync around her

Another pale blue sky loses its pride

and there's no telling what she'll do without it

Punctured with a sigh

Punctured with a sigh

She turns to the mirror and says

"I'll never speak again. I'll never love again

I'll never speak again. I'll never love again

I'll never speak again. I'll never love again

I'll never speak again. I'll never love again"
