Wait for a sign
wait for your cue
when all of these worlds
are wanting you to
decide where you're going
and state where you've been
your weakness is showing
again and again and again
I just wanted to belong
to a world bigger than
one tiny song
in the darkness
in my room
even with all this light
it's a tomb
and i'm finding
again and again
i will be ready to let go of you
to let go of all this noise.

Write this down
02:24

I can't capture you
I can't hold this space for too long
It's in me like a song
for you
but I'm not going to
write this down

If you still want me...

Taking all this in me
the way you take a drug
to change your mind
and all those feelings
in your skin and eyeballs
holding weight like color
being swept away
in time
this time
and i'm afraid I won't feel
the same things
again
How do you capture a memory
of a long lost friend
How do you hold it in
when you want to scream
to the world
and say that things
have been kind of stressful
but that's not the purpose
anyway
but you say nothing at all
or you say a hundred thousand things
they just make you feel small in your mind
alone all the time
like you're saying all of the
unimportant things
and wasting all this breath
what you have left
instead of right in (writing) this moment
when everything's here
everything's dear
everything's here
and everything's nearly near
it's true
and dear to you
and everyone
can't know your truth
but all this flight like a bird
like a bird who never woke up
from the dream of being heard
by those who were
busy singing
busy dancing
busy flying
on their own
and i'm ready to come home
to you
if you still want me to

All around you now
In the places you breathe
It is finally time to know
if you will be
relieved
when you find out
if you're going to need
to find a new life
find a fiction to
become something
more
I have waited
for your name to be right
Are you sedated
by that drug you take most every night?
All around you
time is waiting
for your final word
it's finally aware
it may be heard
in this time
but I'm not going to
give up on you
either way
your secret's safe with me
i want you to know
i am taking all the longest winding roads
to you

This Wall
05:06
|
|||
Here in this place where I made you
Here in this place where I decided to
come along on a grand adventure
in time
Here on this puddle or fountain
Written on sides of a mountain
I didn't know I needed
to climb
And I am learning to be
still
Until I find out where I am
going to
Here in this town that you own
I am feeling more alone than ever
It's true we don't own things
but when I gave this
to you
It felt like a tunnel of
like a tunnel of bricks unfolding
that I couldn't walk through
I built this wall
for you
Cause I just wanted you to be
okay with not being with me
and I finally see
and I finally see
This wall wasn't built for me
This wall wasn't made to do anything
but keep you from wanting me
from wanting me.

You are like a tunnel I've been afraid to go down
You are like a poem I read once and found myself in
but I am beginning to know the difference now
in finding one point on a map and loving it
and
building worlds around it
cause I don't have to build a world around this to know
that it's beautiful to me
beautiful I see
everything in you
(like you saw in me).

haha ummm...

I've taken cues from you
and it feels like it's all I do
I've written on my skin
all the ways to begin again
and again
at this life
how to be liked
how to be right
and I wanted you to want to come along
But you hold me like song that's wandered on too long
I don't know what I did wrong...
Well I do but I don't know how I can write a different song
when this one has gone on and on
On and on and on and on

Learned to move (here)
03:17
|
|||
Time is all you have really
It is the only currency that's really like a current you swim in
most your life
or all of your life
anyway
And they say that life's the answer
And they say we should want the game
More than the naming of each player
But I know have loved these years with you here
I have loved these worlds we've made dear
And I have been afraid most my life
until I moved here
and learned to move
on my own
because I wanted to
and only cause I wanted to
