Plains - Wye Oak

Composed by：Jenn Wasner

Into the desert

Weathered forever

Desperate clouds

Bellowing out

Seeing the future

Cautiously answer

It's only the plains

Sideways rain

The days whispered and shouted

And everything counted

The signs were around

We looked so we found

Been seeking a pattern

None of it mattered

Watching the sky

Cycling by

Through windows of our past lives

We are seeing the same thing

But they are not laughing

The smoke from the engine

The bones of the plane

I notice this vaguely

But it couldn't contain me

And so I've been tamed

And so it remains

And I am ashamed

And hiding in the strangest hallway

Try to remember

Pen to the paper

Portion it out

What's it about

The pictures are empty

Voices have left me

It's only the plains

Sideways rain

And I am ashamed

And I am ashamed

And every day is just the same
