After it finished fading Summer and Jackson falling out of view Wake on your boyfriends carpet Sisters asleep your mother's childhood room Low hum of your computer Soundtrack to teenaged evenings seething on After they sold the cellar, attic and all the places you belonged You dye your hair much darker day in the dampness face down in the sink After the colour faded Troubled to think that you'd change anything

Tenses 04:53
Old dressing table Gone now always remembered the same way Gold lights and bangles, movements were hurried the sentiment untrue Piles of clothes and coats outgrew Cursing and mad about the idea of her not you Cues from your CD player Pacing the room around always in sequence Piles of clothes and coats outgrew Cursing and mad about the idea of her not you Cues from your CD player Gone now always remembered the same way When you leave here Things will exist diametric to you In the future You still obsess this moment of your youth Through the loophole Watching him wake at the edge of your bed Fluid tenses The way you account for the things in your head In the future You can't be sure that you're telling the truth Through the loophole You can't be sure that you're telling the truth Old dressing table Gone now always remembered the same way

The Glitch 06:22
Time and space combining into lines that change direction as they leave your body Existing in a split dimension half remembered half returned and changed completely Following in parallel back to before the worlds were more than coexisting Finding deviations from the cast and stored coordinate transformation Wait Rerun the loop Leaving there Vague Looming The glitch The other layer Meaning in things I have lost The flood The significance of your accent Somehow remembered it wrong Despite Reciting the notes in your absence Here coming back all at once The door A portal leaked into the present Slow but a similar key That song A wormhole deep into the stratus How could we know what it means The themes Continued on parallel axis Things I found relevant once That green Wall at the edge of the mattress Somehow all still in the frame Your stuff Ordered in similar patterns Here coming back all at once That rug The bridge and the route that we practiced They found a body there once Cut up We could not take in the sadness I watched you pack up your stuff Go home And thought of it endlessly afterwards
