im so much older now
than I was when I found out
you left
still every night I sleep
it haunts my dreams
in every building now I feel reminded of
your house
my mind is overseas
its leaving me
soft sound pressed up
against my headache
broke down its in
the memories friends make
its found a home
inside my headspace
its loud for its
in every mistake for now I've
found my voice, I let you down
found my voice what an awful sound
soft sound and I
can't write it off anymore
not now
cos nothing works like that

the city halls

in the city halls I
lose myself and think about
the weekend we spent
little waterfalls
we could spend the whole day watching
over and over again
all the yet to comes
we would just ignore because we
knew nothing else
to go back there I would
give up all my made up plans and
futile defences
to sit in silence with you
is to live a thousand lives
I dont want to miss you
but I fear that I already might
all the memories I withdrew
without meaning to go by
when I sleep at night
but no dream can shine as bright as you
feels like every day that passes as of late is so
slowed down
staying up til late even when the open air is
cold and foul
in the quiet wake in spite of all the promises
were older now
and like that you're away
I never seem to comprehend the
knowing how to feel
to sit in silence with you
is to live a thousand lives
I dont want to miss you
but I fear that I already might
all the memories I withdrew
without meaning to go by
when I sleep at night
but no dream can shine as bright as you
(miss you)
cos I miss you
and it kills to
walk past your door
cos I miss you
and it kills to
cos you're not around anymore

I guess I never said
you take up all the space in my head
id rather drift away on this river bed
go someplace we've never been
and its true
you make winter warm
if I come home to your heart
my loneliness dissipates
ill be fine someday
until the end
I just wanna be with my friends
tell them I love them
to me thats important
ill never forget
all of those moments we spent
if I could do it again
I wouldn't change a single thing
im under your spell
and I dont wanna leave

waiting out the rat race
04:45
|

its 9am in the morning
and im not sure what to do
waiting out the rat race
I couldn't seem to move
it was just last week I called you
and the life you did exude
waiting out all this commotion
to try make it less true
im not too good with action
my parents words fell through
I can't say I felt it for another hour or 2
but when I did when I did
nothing was real
nothing can prepare you
I sing this thinking about how it was so different
thinking about all the days passed
since I saw you last
I write this 6 months in its funny how its timeless
the ever growing stratosphere of silence
growing and infecting like a virus
oh I hear you without seeing you its cold and it is late
Im tired of picking sides when all the sides are fault and fate
and either way the pendulum is in a sorry state
but I will wait
if I can't hear your voice
what does that mean?
every win and every choice
it doesn't feel real (returns to you quietly)
I sing this thinking about everything you've missed
spirit come to me and tell me what it is
this growing mist
(it doesn't feel real)
wait, I will wait
if I can't hear your voice
what does that mean?
every win and every choice
it doesn't feel real (returns to you quietly)

lets get away make another mess
said the promises made
were all missteps
happens all the time yeah
the people that stay
haven't a clue
this city will break and undo you
happens all the time
ill take the bus you can take the train
ill miss the buzz and the smell of the rain
godspeed to a good life
the image is such a piteous frame
never had love never will again
take a cab to a better life
without them
the streets just aren't lit the same now
and all the people begin to fade out
but it all makes sense to me now
all I ever wanted was out
doubt is like a shadow
growing by the day
never being quiet
or staying in one place
spreads in all directions
til it finally gets away
promises are fragile
they never truly fade
and truth will form an echo that
a minor breeze will break
but then you swear its different
and you'll never act that way
again
wrote so many letters
I forgot how to speak
spent so many days I dont know
how to spend a week
you can't see to let go
the edge of your seat
and I can't seem to process
everything you're telling me
oh, is it well, is it well with my soul?
the streets just aren't lit the same now
and all the people begin to fade out
but it all makes sense to me now
all I ever wanted was out

I think I love you no I know
cause days without you feel so slow
and when the rivers they run cold
you can find warmth in my arms
someday well have live as our own
when we won't have to feel alone
somewhere we won't have to grow
the future doesn't have to start
but I miss you
and it kills to
walk past your door
cos I miss you
and it kills to
but youre coming back im sure
