joel martin from toledo – ellipsis lyrics

Loading...

most minutes i’m sleeping, most hours i’m dreaming
my hands are tired of keeping the time
the reel spins happy and sad things, train travels, plane crashes
but they’re the same, they both make me cry

oh take me away from the circle conundrum
i need to follow the breadcrumbs till they come to a dead end
every town has a jailhouse, and a cathedral for the dropouts
i could fly east or walk south, but i’ve got both those in my head

most years p-ss in seconds, like paint peeling from wreckage
sorrowful reflections that seem from another life
something grand i remember telling myself to remember
but it’s forgotten in the embers stirred every sleepless night

i’m more confused with every upturned tile
and i never felt more lost than when you told me i’d arrived
is there escape from the escapement we all rotate inside?
i can’t run forever, but i may run till i die
i’m not exactly searching, but i’m scared of what i’ll find

but no, i’ve got to go somewhere, even if everywhere’s the same
just a token piece going round and round on the same fatalist board game
i’ll be leaving anyway… to see the mountain as the mountain again
even if just by change of name
close my roulette eyes again and hope i get the train

i’m the best at excuses, always tightening my nooses
and praying fate will come shooting through the rope before it jerks
looking for that gold gateway to take me back to where i’ve always stayed
to wander till i forget my name, then i’ll know that i’ve arrived somewhere

upstairs, then downstairs; when i’m either, i’m nowhere
’cause i can’t stand not knowing what’s happening where i left
end this song in ellipsis; if there’s a plot, it’s just thickening
my mind’s a seconds hand ticking, circling round till it strikes death
trying so hard to forget
something i can’t quite comprehend
and i threw everything away, but you’re the only thing i kept
