Your Bright Blue Evening

from Here Comes The World by Hello Whirled

/

lyrics

I spent these years covered in glue
to put together the puzzle of you
to maybe figure out why it couldn't last
and once I reach the halfway point
I'll stop and reconsider
why I've wasted so much time trying to fix the past

and why I'm so hung up on it still
I hope it leaves but it never will
not because I truly care
but more I've gotten used to it being there

points A and B are drawn with a myriad of straight lines
on a ceiling-size map of this and other worlds
and on none of them can I re-connect with you
it's pointless to consider how I'd change what shaped me
but does shaping require hurting someone else?

what did it mean to you?
an endless thought that's never through
and though I know it's nothing new
it never feels like it's lost its doom

here comes the world that offers a hand
with nothing in its grasp
and it points and smiles and waves at the world
that doesn't understand
that you have to give a shit about how
someone else is feeling
and they really have to fucking care
to get your bright blue evening

I spent this life covered in glue
trying to figure out where I broke you
a million pieces of shattered glass, into
a hazy head, a lazy dream
away into the old machine
that turns carbon into heat, and a mineral too
