Strings fade

A blue screen is a new screen
And a red screen is a dead screen
Confusion lives somewhere in between
You roam it by nighttime, collecting
and sorting leaves for the future free
Where a haunted house is nothing

But a used up factory
Crickets sing a one way ticket
Pick it up, lick it, and stick it to
Your forehead
Or the pistons will pump it into
your tombstone three thousand eons
After you're dead

The shells have been picked up
And listened to carefully
The stars have connected in
an oceanless melody
And you'll still collect leaves
for a makebelief future free
