Pictures of June (Lyric) by wilco

Taillights receding, like blank eyes of red with lackluster thoughts of leaving. They’re brainwaves collapsing on film for the entire world to see. Taken out of context, with many lines of white these words may seem complex. They’re synapses collapsing on paper for anyone to read. Taking photographs of June Consuming every thought If only to release These butterflies I’ve caught. Copy fades, like fleeting afternoons in the drawing of the shades. They’re underwater lullabies that no one can hear. Illustrated passion spreads like new disease but soon goes out of fashion. It’s an understated postulation that no one cares to prove. Taking photographs of June Consuming every thought If only to release These butterflies I’ve caught.

Hwy wilco - overall it has a nice presence, but it didn't sink in until the end. Feature or bug?

I was thinking that each of those stanzas could be on their own, even expanded into more - then I hit the chorus and it gelled. So I guess you could go either way with it.

consuming/consumes - I struggled with that a little. Did you try it the other way too?
