Defector by Surface Air

Last time I was coming through I had a reign to shy from
Last time I was coming to I had a flame to lie on
And right now I know I am but a means to an end
Just a pawn in a player’s game
But now we change
Intention with aim
If I could just find my search and see why I came

Where has the time gone?
I got right in the lie detector - shining surprise defector
Fly further than I’d crawl
Why stay low?

Last time I was coming through I had a jail to fly from
Last time I was coming to I had a nail to lie on
And right now I know I don’t need to pretend
These walls are thick and they keep me sane
Can I know without leaping?
Slow without sleeping?
Stay right here and seek my pleasure far away?

Where has the time gone?
I got right in the lie detector - shining surprise defector
Fly further than I’d crawl
Time may show

From the splintering bone ashes of prog, punk and the sallow remains of no-wave springs a rare bird of apocryphal breed.
