Broken Spindles The Distance Is Nearsighted Lyrics

I've only been away a week
Ago I left my house
My hometown is a photograph
My mouth quits, clicks, no noise
Pollution outside every airport
Parking drive around
A round circles under eyes
Language class text don't speak

The distance is near-sighted
And how far away is calculated in days
And the distances gets nearer-sighted
Till the far away extends out, expires, and dies.

Softly whispered schedule
Of movements from a space
A place mat organizing file folders
Getting bigger
Thicker accents start to swell
Slowly outwards towards the shoreline
Connecting dots where buildings Grow up, f*ck, and rot to dust

The distance is near-sighted
And how far away is calculated in days
And the distance gets nearer-sighted
Till the far away extends out, expires, and dies.

A slow hour turns and passes away
A ways always in the air
Travel show them proof of
Miles flown into the waveless sea
I see the world won't stop moving
A loop, it's static.
Still nights vanish,
Sleep is a dream where

the distance is near-sighted
And how far away is calculated in days
And the distance gets nearer-sighted
Until the far away extends out, expires, and dies.
