Proustian Gaze

[Verse] After school 5 pm shadows stretchin' long Books splayed out I'm lost 'neath the setting sun You in the corner your band mates makin' noise I'm chasin' thoughts mind's a psychotronic toy [Verse 2] You love chem laugh at the quirks of the brain Paths converge in corridors emotional strain Me in love with the tangled webs of the mind You dissectin' the essence of time we find [Chorus] And our gaze met across the fading light Under the spell of a moment sublime and bright Brain chemistry the spark the unseen link Lost in the depths neither needing to think [Verse 3] Polyrhythms beatin' in my anxious chest A daydream a Proustian win hearts contest You with a guitar my notes in the air In an alternate realm we breathe we share [Bridge] Tension in every step in every note we play Echoes of a silent hope won’t fade away We dissect and dream in clocks in beats In smiles in silent sheets [Verse 4] You with your cold fire and my summer rain Collide in the unknown collide in the pain Lines in textbooks and gaps we never reach But this gaze it teaches it preaches
