At Sunset 05:07
And if I leave anything behind me… A legacy of bang and boom, and a lack thereof, In absence of symbolic resonance These dreams elude me and my ambitions. Wait for me, my love Blind to you, and your trident for a tongue Lights burn out, and leave us in the dark Ice grows thin, I’ll watch it drift it apart Lines in the sand, long since washed away mark your love and the threshold of your skin Lines by your eyes that watched your boys grow up, It will never be fair to you

There’s a warm comfort when your fingers turn blue and you’re walking with someone you once knew There’s a trembling sensation as my hand abandons me I pull you into my lungs, a distant memory of fire But you are smoke, and I lose you in a frozen exhale. And I will always make the same mistakes for you, Defined by all the things that we will do And I keep your blood in my chest Made new by what she told me and like all those who came before, I can’t keep repeating myself My hair turns white with the turning back of time Slow down, and take the time to watch things grow Everything that now seems new was once irreparably old. Hello there, how are you? It’s been years since you’ve been here Do you remember falling towards the ground? Your lips rushed towards the grass You turned your back on every cloud Every lesson I’ve learned has been borne up from the dirt.

Richmaiden 03:20
There were times I guess I was alright, and you could’ve had anyone you wanted The Moonlight reflects on your cheek, Leaves fall down around your bare feet The sun browns your face from every angle It keeps me from you, it keeps me up all night I write it all down, so I’ll remember you My head is empty, I feel nothing at all. All my songs will die alone with me Ground is dry and water does not reach these barren limbs I kept you at an arm's reach Your hands would reach out for my face in the dark But I was always long gone My eyes are red when I get no sleep I think you used to know what I was talking about when I said how I felt like a faded tattoo. I used to mean so much, but now you cover me up. When you were younger, I was everything to you. I want so badly for it to still be cool, ride my bike to your house, sink to the bottom of your pool. I think you used to know what I was talking about when I said how I felt like a faded tattoo.

State Lines 03:07
Farmland and freshly mown grass carries you through my window, I can hardly see the road, And I still taste you from time to time in the water, You’re every color in this sleeping town, You’re every color in my sleepless body And I can’t forget the curve in your lips when you said you’d be leaving Cause there’s a big flat world out there and I only Stick to the same few roads when I’m driving around at night And nostalgia grows like vines throughout my veins I am so defeated, But you won’t catch me down and out. Your hair was pulled back (cut short) When state lines defined what is infidelity

And I am in your head, never in your heart So I can’t explain it, I just want to change it There I go in my head again, I always find myself in this situation Doors open on the night Time stands still And I trace your vision Across a crowded room AndI am not quite sure I like what I’m seeing But you are my only ride home So I’ll move to another state And I’ll cut my hair I’ll change my name, but still hate myself Oh, well I am the only one who still believes in you, and I can’t remember why. Doors open on the night Time stands still And I still walk around at night To see if your windows still give off the same glow If I could warn you… I would only tell you that someday all of this will matter so much more

I am love to you. Sun and stars, for me. Jade green on oakheart. I am love, a start. My mind floats, but I’m a made up mouth Tongues entwined, thoughts of moving south You stand still, frozen in your fear There’s nothing here but exasperations Have I surmised with stunning aptitude, You tell lies to try and dilute Your telling lack of self esteem Careful now, I see you in my dreams What daydreams sleep behind those hazy eyes? I bite down. Iron fills my mouth. My teeth fall out. Your hand feels tiny in my own. I can sense the moisture underfoot The padded prints that seem to shout “we’re here” This canopy lets in the sun, Evaporates your doubts and burns away your fear Stand close to me as we ascend, This frozen sunburn spells an end If you survive, will you take my name? Wear it as your own until we meet again I wanted so much more than this.
