Outlines

Since I was three
I’d blow out candles and wish for wings
That sky, that sky seemed so appealing
Clouds shaped like cars
You and I will never drive
We’d pause and take some time
To trace the outlines
And talk about them
Pink with green and bittersweet
Karma in the rain
Minutes like a wedding cake
We’d spend hours in the grave
Maybe it’s all for the best
I just know I could use some rest
But I’ll be there for you
Like a distant memory

I’ve been in this dream
Where all the air we breathe
Turns to smoke
Water that we drink
Swimming on the brink
And we choke
Darkness bleeds
Into the fabric of my clothes
The dream is mine but
I know this life is not my own
I can’t keep climbing
I can’t keep climbing
I can’t
How can I display
The contents of this space
I’m lost in
Wash up on the shore
I can take this anymore
I just hope I’m not forgotten
Crashing through the waves
Cannot be replaced or gone back to
Oh it doesn’t hit the same
When we fade away
I can’t keep climbing
I can’t keep climbing

Angel / Fallen Star

Every different shape
Every color fades
Pieces of who I used to be
And though the darkness
Is consuming
I feel light
I feel light
And I have nothing left to give
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to give
The sky grows a little darker tonight
Tonight
The sky grows a little darker tonight
Tonight
You’re an angel
I’m your fallen star
You’re my angel
I’m your fallen star

Vacancy

It feels like I met you
Somewhere just beyond my memory
The pieces that we’re left with
Never feel complete
And now I’m crumbling to pieces
And everything is new
Learning to breathe again
I’m learning without you
Learning without you
Comfort turns to fire
All our space begins to shrink
Endlessly I’m swimming
Circling everything
Wish I knew how far to go
Til I can give in
I’m crumbling to pieces
And everything is new
Learning to breathe again
I’m learning without you
I’m crumbling to pieces
And everything is new
Learning to breathe again
I’m learning without you
You
You

Dying Fire

Oh I could not reciprocate
The gentleness of all your ways
Did I try?
And I know my heart is large
But the winter had its way
Against me
Oh the fire fades into the night
And we resume our busy lives
Our lives
Our lives
Our lives
There’s no feeling
No feeling
I could not adore you anymore
Cause war is bred inside this stasis
Trading places
And I’ve been there myself so I know
That it will never go
It’ll never go
Oh more than just a premonition
I was wishing to be not alone
To be not alone
Alone
There’s no feeling
No feeling
The fire dies
The fire dies
There’s no feeling
No feeling
The fire dies
The fire dies

Eclipse

Fear and loneliness
Swimming through our seas
Captivate and mesmerize my whole
Being and deity
Tearing at the walls
That were keeping me safe
And now I find I spend more time
Dissolving things than building them
Baby I know
I’ve been lost
On the other side
Of the moon
And I can’t always be here
But I’ll always be your friend
Sorry for the way I disappear
But I’ll see you again

The insides burn
A hand of ashes touch my soul
Familiar
Things I used to know
Where is the home that sheltered me?
Where’s the place that I would sleep?
The streets where I would dream?
Lost to fires of complacency
I don’t recognize you anymore
Anymore
Anymore
The world that you and I
Used to know is gone
Decay in time
And never to return
Where is the home that sheltered me?
Where’s the place that I would sleep?
The streets where I would dream?
Lost to fires of complacency

For the desired effect, would you come back August or June (June)
And I hate that tomorrow's December, this collision came mid bloom
Better built to resume I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy
Don't rest with the less I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy
