You know you're yet to hurt me, Though I know that day will come. Or maybe you'll beat me to it And wish it be undone. We'll drift apart like continents And glide serene, 'Til rifts or little tremors Conspire to break us free. Only time will heal us now. So I'll meet you in the middle At the bottom of the sea, And we'll slowly dance our last waltz Under that bright blue canopy. Only time will heal us now. Only time will heal us now.

Streetlights 04:04
Cartwheel down the road, My senorita smiles, and I’m weightless. A utopian charade, We both know it’s hopeless. Trapped by cold suburbia, The sensibilities I lack. And when I leave her, We both know I won’t be back. The city simmers silently, The streets devoid of cars, Blanketed in sodium, Which substitutes for stars The light of lost souls lingers on, Reminds us who we are, Their hope, distilled, still glimmers on, Like glow-worms in a jar. LED’s blink stories at me, They lull me with monotony. And I drift into apathy, Embrace my anonymity. The fragile fuzz of neon flickers, Frames me like a post-it sticker. The skin of passers by fluoresces, As they search for incandescence.

I See Stars 02:55
Stars burst, fill eyes with wonder. Frost-bitten fingers reach out to hold the light, as the sky's wrenched asunder, and falls, searing through the cold. And I see stars There's a mountain-shaped gap in a canopy so riddled with stars that it glows dull grey. And across the black hole pin-pricks of light are slowly making their way. I see stars.

In stolen moments When memories you forgot you had Come bubbling to mind Out of sight Or so you thought But I saw you cry The day he died You curse the name But your embrace tells another tale Of second thoughts And lost time And I saw you cry The day he died Broken bones belie the smile A shattered polaroid as you lie Bathed in light Reflected by The shards of a life And I saw you cry The day he died

Let’s be friends, we said, let’s stay in touch, But it doesn’t seem that amounts to much. I know it’s not fair to expect the same, For us to carry on like nothing’s changed. I think I need a little time To remind myself you’re no longer mine, And I need to stop, and tell myself You don’t belong to me or anyone else. So that every time that I transgress You’re indifferent, and that’s fine, I guess. But I miss the time you needed me And I must content myself with being free. So I need to re-adjust my mind To separate your thoughts from mine. I need some time to let you go, And for that, I think, I should be alone. So good luck, God bless, hope you’ll be alright, And I’ll see you in another life.
