Celogen - Wind-Up and Collapse / Passenger Stare

The wind-up and collapse
The fading story of the war you fought
Above the beds of kind young lovers your web had caught
The glimmering streets they walked
Where they buried their pearls of dew
To seed the last place you'd ever see them full in bloom

And you can still pretend
Their love won't be enough for them in the end
They'll need you someday, though they disappeared so soon

The wind-up and collapse
Out through the ceiling to the dark backyards
Where you would lay each night, a vandal with glowing eyes
And I know I never asked you to remember
But I hope you'd think of me
To blink and to miss things you people won't believe

And it's been so long
Since you were pressed up to the wall
Waiting just to catch one fleeting laugh
And you can still pretend
The big joke you pulled was lost on them
It was dumb. The moment's passed. They don't know what they missed

(The passenger stare as I pressed through
You tried to reach out but I left you
Oh, the night your anchor rose

The passenger stare that you fell through
The shivering things I could tell you
Oh, the night your anchor rose

The passenger stare as I passed through
The sleeping sleet tumbling past you
Oh, the night your anger rose

The futures that you had seen through
And starless you saw they'd come true
Streetlight snow, at last you just let go)
