Chemtrails from Black Lobster by Ambien Blackout

CHEMTRAILS

Our love is like chem trails:
the mysterious unknown
we might know where we've been
but we just don't know where we're going.
Like ashes from a funeral urn thrown up in the air
our fingers intertwine and part
and the moment disappears.

Our love is like chem trails:
it has fiendish entropy
it is calm and slow and falls and spreads
and covers everything.
And everyone's afraid of it
because they don't know what it means.
But when you're the pilot of the F14,
it's exactly what it seems.

Our love is like chem trails:
You can ask who and what and why,
But while you're busy talking
it scribbles lines on the joyous sky.
And people look up and wonder
if there's a meaning to that mess.
But when you're slicing across the firmament
you never have to guess.

Our love is like chem trails:
it makes us different from the day before
we can pretend that it's not there
so its something we ignore.
and paranoid freaks might say that
it is duplicitous mind control.
But if we didn't have it
you know we would never be fully whole.

Our love is like chem trails:
ephemeral wisps disappear
unless we send up the jets to churn the atmosphere.
Like ashes from a funeral urn thrown up in the air
our fingers intertwine and part
and the moment disappears.
