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