Symbols

(Por já, por agora, entre nós, eu, porém, é isto, e é)

Nowhere is where i am, fleeing my eyes from living sights
Yesterday is when i am, cradle myself from todays fights
You are still breathing, wordless
Resting at your mother's fortress
Cellophane for your dress
Waiting for anywhere chartless

But you don't look for symbols,
Stuck inside tiles of meaning,
Looking at mosaics, clear of ripples
Trying to read the symbols

Dying to know where you are,
Wandering my eyes through subway cars,
Thinking of you leaves me sour,
ct every moment, at any hour

My favorite memories are fleeting,
I find solace to know you're breathing
Smoke out the window,
Fires forever weeping

But ill always look for symbols
Of hope drawn across the ceiling,
In bed look up at people,
Those who don't wait for symbols.
