joel martin from toledo - arrivals كلمات الأغنية

waiting on a package i ordered in august, some book for a college cl-ss
could be at the wrong address or gone in a hat trick, a mercury flame turned to ash
and i don’t know whether to order another, or to wait it out ’cause it could be a long while
so i’m watching the calendar and waiting for the mail to get here, if it ever does arrive

i remember your taillights blur zigzags of red light as they meandered away in the night rain
i never thought in that instance that the increasing distance would be more than your wheels on the grey
now it’s trial by withering fire, singing in the monophonic choir
you travel but you’re stone still, unraveling cyclones spill
what they tore from the ground’s seed, hope then i’m sighing with relief that your destination ain’t dead leaves, if you ever do arrive

and i know it’s true but i have to see it for myself
and i know it’s you but i’m trying everything to believe it’s someone else

don’t have any coordinates, don’t know where i am yet, and i still can’t tell where i’m not
if i’m a m-ss with momentum, i’m bound towards the center, well i ain’t moving, but i never stopped
and everything’s a circular coil bound upward, it will worry and strangle your mind
you go round and round the game and, though different, it’s all the same and i never do arrive

and that’s how i stay alive

is this town cairo? no, man, it ain’t
just get on your raft boat and float on your way
is this where i’m heading to? a bigger cage, a smaller zoo?
hey, zeno, i’m almost halfway to halfway to you, and i’m running out of days

we’re all lost in the mail haul, stable-bound angels, reduced to the last place we slept
post-marked and stamped but we don’t understand, we arrive at the same time we’ve left

and there’s so much noise, so much inanity and mire
(oh! never-ending count to absurd!)
one gl-ss has poison, so i’m crossing fingers, and praying we survive
(oh! ever-bending calculus curve!)
i’m holding breaths and hoping we arrive
if we ever do…
