Plains (Wye Oak)

Into the desert Weathered forever Desperate clouds Follow them out Seeing the future Cautiously answer It's only the plains Sideways rain The days whispered and shouted And everything counted The signs were around We looked, so we found Been seeking a pattern None of it mattered Watching the sky Cycling by Through windows of our past lives We are seeing the same thing But they are not laughing The smoke from the engine The bones of the plane I notice this vaguely But it couldn't contain me And so I've been tamed And so it remains And I am ashamed And (hiding) in the strangest pathway Try to remember Pen to the paper Caution: 'get out!' What's it about? The pictures are empty Voices have left me It's only the plains Sideways rain And I am ashamed And I am ashamed And every day is just the same
