sound's like...

• the light on your lips
• a living tattoo museum
• loneliness laying me down
• silence, twisting in the wind
• western flowers on the road
• shiny cars in a yard like a jungle
• racing clouds against the moon
• pretty girls with business suits on
• the innocence of shorter shoes
• the rain on the leaves outside
• a poison swimming pool
• a forest of evidence
• a broken trampoline
• a weathervane
