Here again
As I speak
My words bloom in the starlight beams
And right now
Frayed and taut
I can’t contain my creeks and falls
To the wind
I said
Lift me up and dissolve me in your breath
As the curtains, velvet, black, ignite
Tomorrow I’ll make sense of me tonight
I let my thoughts run too far
But I feel them down to my soul
Couldn’t fight it anymore
I resign myself to the blank stare in your eyes
I’ll falter at your kiss
An emptiness I could not miss
I’d take back all the words I said
I wish I’d kept it all to myself
So I guess
This must be hell
Reflections of me
And nothing else
Up all night
Thought I could think my way to sunshine
Be somewhat alright
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
Following parallel power lines to
The gold horizon that slips from view
I’ll do better, I’ll do my best
To sidestep a sadness so bottomless
I’ll falter at your kiss
the emptiness I could not miss
All the sweetest things I said
I wish I’d kept it all, for myself
All of this, it can’t be real
Guess things don’t ever stay the same
I’m so tired, not for the first time
I just wanna run from here
All the days of a fear I thought by now I could surely name
But I’m torn, as it floods, I’m feeling everything at once
Up all night
Maybe I could think my way to sunshine
Be somewhat alright
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
