?Stream? by STREAM
de Souza/Arnott

Verse 1
Take a photograph, trap it on a mantelpiece
Watch the dust collecting on the faces you can see
I can hear the city breathing through the furniture and walls
And the dirt beneath my fingernails??..it?s no comfort at all.

Chorus
Because these are the pieces that make up the pictures
That run like a movie and play in my head
All the random distractions and T.V. reminders
And camera flashes that lead me to you.

Verse 2
Pinned to the mattress sleeping and waking
The sound of a scream and the windshield breaking
Lemon in the paper-cut that?s just behind my eyes
Labouring the obvious but did you realise??..?it?s no comfort at all.

Chorus

Middle 8
Choose a recipe, a dictionary definition
Pick a shutter-speed to capture what you see
Lock the box away a tribute to a young Houdini
But the Great escape is never what it seems

Verse 2
I?m drowning in something I do not understand and
This waiting for something is something I can?t stand but
Tomorrow, tomorrow I?ll start my life tomorrow
If I can tell myself there?s nothing to be scared about

Breakdown
Scanning the ashtray, reading the tealeaves
Searching my palm for a sign of relief
Watching the skies as I toy with religion
Questioning who could be toying with me.

Every time I beat my wings, every time I close my eyes
Life is full of bigger things than both of us can realise
Any question brings a question, every question bothers me
I can see the same tomorrow stretching out in front of me.

Chorus to fade
