Brave Candle

you call me a pushover
i would rather be a pullover
up against your skin
just like a brave candle
in the ever dark
ever incomplete

you know me i'm a satellite
for your twenty three thousand 
mile heat
or a song about
the old antarctica
full of triremes
and bird calls

open my eyes
everything is different
pull out my eyes
everything is the same

so i pour my little flame
down the drain
let the coriolus
tell you where i am
are you out there
i know you're not in here
in the ever dark 
ever incomplete

maya maya maya maya maya
it's all maya maya maya maya
