tell me a story
and let it be fiction
let me be your light
and you be the prism
cuz thoughts are so unclear
and words get lost in the air
so just keep breathing in time,
it won't be long, before we're there
but it's just a passing bird
a slow walk to, your favorite spot
the sun in your hair, let down your thoughts
the paint that spills out whenever you talk
and I
can find
that old bluebird
under my bed, let it out of its cage
clean the blood it has bled
but don't go
not just yet
because I need you
my little prism
to find color hidden in the white light
you sank into the shadows
and you hid behind my eyelids
the colors that you left behind
weren't

down by the lake
I hear a voice whisper out my name
there's a young boy
thrashing in the water
fighting just to breathe
I want to tell him
to "stay lucid!"
but he's drowning in his dream
deep beneath the water.
and so he runs to his room
takes one last look at his reflection
takes his fathers shotgun
oh god please take this pain away
no more breathing
no more pain
but it's just a dream you say
it's a harmless game we play
in a wayward breeze
I wonder where you are
your name in the wind
hidden in the shades of blue
your name in the wind...
hidden in the shades of blue
It's such a beautiful day.
And I'm thinking of you.
I wonder if you knew a day like this would come.
Well, of course not.
How could you?
How could you fucking leave?

so play a song
wrap the covers 'round tight
and try to forget her tonight
oh and I can't breathe
and I can't see
but I can feel you here
with me
words at the tip of my tongue
so fill up my plastic lung
wonder where you are out there
in the snow covered forest
you walk alone
and I find all your notes
I should've thrown
but the sirens are calling me
to the sea of people in the
city
oh and I can't breathe
and I can't see
but I can feel you here
with me

so you're off to see a show
where everybody knows
when to laugh
and
when to cry
but it makes no sense to you
and you can't be the only,
and now things seem...
lonely.
but you're always on my mind,
and our lives converge on these dotted lines.
starlight take me far from here
to somewhere only
you know
oh in train cars,
as they pass underground
and your soft voice
was the only sound i hear
and you told me
that "this feels like a dream,
where time and space tears at the seams".
but I can feel a low fog coming in,
from the edge of the trees...
a sea of sound,
where monsters dance on our chests while we sleep.
and I feel the stars overhead in the air that you breathe
fall off,
slowly at first,
and then into the deep
sleep.
...
in the middle of the night
you wake me up and say
"there are sounds outside..."
keeping you awake.
in the middle of nowhere,
you nestle in close.
if I have to die tonight,
what a nice way to go...
(but you're always on my mind,
and our lives converge on these dotted lines.
starlight take me far from here
to somewhere only
you know)
and those memories,
follow me around.
keep me company
in my life now, I know
that it's all in my head
but it's all
I
have left.

oh love I want you to know
though those moments don't live in your head
they're somewhere out there
in the rain, or maybe it is just a passing storm
and we'll be ok when we get home,
well I hope so.
because when I see you around
I wish to go back
still get that old feeling when I'm
lost in those blue eyes
the dancing and the lights make me recall
oh something
I don't know
so I'm just waiting
wondering where you are
and with those closed eyes
at once not but yet so far
glasses of water on bedstands
I want to jump into
the deep water with you
(lights in the fade, flicker on and off on you
always haunt you, in the morning what will you do?)
I knew
that love would fade in time
hold on to the light
that comes pouring through your window
and i will stare at the sun while it's a pale red
stare into those days
that come back
it was like a river thrashing
the sounds deafening and crashing...
and in the water you lay afloat
with your eyes closed
but nothing real there now.
but i know you're there
somewhere
deep beneath
this moment
but it's dark
somewhere
deep beneath.

i was waiting
for the sun to rise
and you were fading
talking about the lies
we tell ourselves
just to sleep at night
but all these lies keep me alive
(drown them out
it's easy now)
want to, find you
in the morning, in the twilight,
when I wake up, take you
in the middle, of the night
in a sea of, breathing
breathe in, feel now
but love fades like the sea now
breathe in, slow down
I remember
when those hearts used to beat close
impressed
chest to chest
caught in the bloodwork.
but now the sky is a vein
that takes blood from my bones
in Burlington, Vermont
Deep woods, they're all around me now
wonder where i go when the sun sets...
I walked tiredly around
to the shore
where I saw children
(i wandered aimlessly
to the spot where you might be)
Can you find the light that blinds you?
in a dream, that I'm left to explore?
Can you leave some passing trace?
~~~~~
want to find you
in the morning still here
find that old spark
and wonder aloud here
whisper words that
find you help you
find me come here
closer
and
close
