split moment 03:12
I... I used to make long speeches to you after you left. I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone. I walked around for months talking to you. Now I don't know what to say. Sometimes your voice would wake me up. Then... it slowly faded. I couldn't picture you anymore. I couldn't hear you. Paris Texas, Wim Wenders, 1984.

and i don't want it you feel your head stray on too fast and i can't feel it you fall and backslide into your arms and when you want i'll be at home lean and breathe in if you wanna come back and talk inside i can give my quiet to your instinct if you wanna stay here, i'll leave myself supplies but i need someone to hold and i don't want it get your head straight gone too far and i can't feel it you fall and backslide into my arms and when you want i'll be at home lean and breathe in

and you said it was ahead falling asleep get behind the wallpaper counting sheep it wasn't easy but you knew it had to go, out night, then over the hills far from the buses and rainy days in bed i was so far from it you couldn't see my hands covering your eyes covering your eyes go to sleep little one i'll wait for him instead and there's time left to take all the demons left our time will come our time will come just follow him and your head will fill like white noise just count the days left "i'm coming soon" in your nightmarish visions of him there's a space left there's a space left

Everybody wants the good life but not everybody gets the good life, right fame it's about caviar it's good to have caviar but when you have it every damn day imagine the change you'd be making in the world the injustice you'd be solving today When did I wake into this dream? I saw yellow slacks and a voice said is there anything I can do to help? free, killing the people, and assassinating the people and beheading the people and eating their heart. Yoga has become very, very popular I think it's wonderful, I think it's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful helping [the] poor the sick and the dying but it also has its drawbacks the army has to go there to get rid of those terrorists for a lot of people, it's more than just a really great workout, it is a lifestyle. Okay next item, next item we're gonna do is 552167755. A Boise woman has a feeling someone is watching her. I'm gonna start the bidding for this ring, at err, let's see, That's because, she says, her neighbour has a camera pointed right at her bedroom. At this price it's not gonna last for long Beyond the ornate gate and guard shack, the driveway quietly ushers you past 23 acres of masterfully designed and meticulously manicured grounds. But in every war you have casualties, this is war. You don't have a clean war, you don't have soft war, you don't have good war. We did it both to sides, left and right, as well as back, err, a back bend in the shape of a half moon, and that follows with a complete 180 reverse posture Enjoy your favourite films in comfort while lounging in one of the rooms seven motorised leather seats. An 84 inch screen makes your experience larger than life. Is it possible? Is it realistic? and so that's the way I met Marilyn Monroe on my knees Are we there? I'm not sure.

slow and play back ends of films we could hear it break up next to us using your line to forgive what you think still makes no difference i remember when we lost touch static comes and takes over your voice sometimes i still think on things you said if i can't, i make it up

lengths 04:02
if there's a lightning the day is done fighting a night side over everyone how long how long how long in your silent space? how long how long how long in your silences? yeah fishes are jumping the day is cold i feel my headache dissipate into your hands 'cause i belong in your silent space and you found me there in my open room fishes are dancing and there's everything i hate eating me eating me

in black 04:06
oh i don't know if i can you seem to be in an open prison oh i don't know if i will we're somewhere else in your quiet house now i'm in black on your shelf your hands move shapes that i can't make out oh i don't have what you want the days are long like your fingertips are and oh in these distances keep me in your sights she said oh i'll give it up give it up for you oh i don't know if you could the pace is fast and i've lost my grip but if you can would you say your tense has changed now you've let it go so stay in your stronger head keep me in your heart she begged oh would you give me up give me up to them
