Fogbank Burnoff (blues)

from A Less than Perfect Peach by Blue Genes

lyrics

i woke up in a daze in this ancient place with a face i didn't choose
first a seed of thought n then i wrought n pushed out the door
o well that day was grey but was colored in once the fogbank burned off
and now my world's opening like a dialating pupil

n i've seen how much there is to hold behind my eyes
and within my mind
but i didn't stay too long wrapped up in that fog blanket
because it was too cold and gray

now i'm wide awake and sometimes can't believe how long days can take
each fades away like the last, some white some black, in that sepia'd past
and the summers golden tone turns naturally green according to a code
and those flowers unfold in a mockery of the rainbow

but their petals fall off eventually
and fade to grey just like memories
n i've tasted how bittersweet it all can be
n so i clean my tongue in order to start over

now my eyelids are gettin heavy as what the night lacks begins its descent
and all that've sensed will fill up my dreams like an unwinding reel
and they'll twist n twirl as if ribbons of pearly smoke
and i can see em now comin off of that blood orange sunset

n it's turnin the blue sky all into rust
n you know one day the summers just gunna be a bunch of dust
but for now i'm goin to sleep so that i can see
what tomorrow will give me
