Galaxy You could have been a galaxy away Yet here you lay Under the same sky As mine Gravity You make me feel grounded every day So here I stay Looking at the same sky You find Above you Look at the view It’s a mystery, unsolved You wish you knew The stars align We intertwine How astounding we share The same lifetime Humanity Souls glowing under the Milky Way Aren’t you amazed You breathe the same Air as mine Memory The back of your mind put on display Like a bouquet (quick) Will it fade away It’s okay To wilt and fray There’s no way to get out Of a clear vase You’re not alone None of us know ‘Cause it’s out of our hands It’s a cycle We share Look up Energy Hold my hand and feel it in my bones While you still can You still can

Same Sky 03:09
You are the first thing i found That felt bigger than the stars So please be happy The air is so quiet And I could be at peace here But i don’t deserve to be here Unable to breathe in the air here If the trees had eyes I think they’d be disappointed Seeing me unable to breathe here In the air that they provided How are we looking at the same sky? We can’t be looking at the same sky Even if you saw the beauty of a million stars You’d never tell I know not of the air you breathe I know not of the words you speak All that I know is my oxygen is running low I’m stuck on you now and I’ll always be trapped with you I’ve spent all this time in my same bed But I’ve got no clue where you’re sleepin’ If the trees surrounding me were on fire The very last thing I would wonder Would be if you ever would miss me How are we looking at the same sky? We can’t be looking at the same sky Even if you saw the beauty of a billion stars It all used to be so beautiful But now the stars are blending in and blurring Our love used to be so beautiful But now I’m tired (Unable to breathe any air here) (I’ve spent all this time in my same bed but I’ve got no clue where you’re sleepin’) Are we looking at the same sky? We can’t be looking at the same sky How are we looking at the same sky We can’t be looking at the same sky Even if you saw the beauty of a trillion stars You’d never tell You’d never tell You’d never tell

Look at them down there Looking up at us Such a charming pair With so much to discuss The answers don’t come easy When the questions displease thee The time comes, then it goes When everyone knows Star-gazing’s over and done They both wished for a shooting star but there were none The moon lights up their path home, the engine’s begun When she wakes up in the morning, we’ll fill in the sun We’ll tell her everything we know She’ll be sad to see them go But she’s aware wind changes air And they weren’t dressed up for that cold breeze to blow For now the moon shines While they drive home The road curves Their minds roam They stare out the windows Then it sinks in, the path they chose Star-gazing’s over and done They both wished for a shooting star but there were none The moon lights up their path home, the engine’s begun When she wakes up in the morning, we’ll fill in the sun They left the blanket in the grass Now the memory of them won’t pass So a part of them will everlast ‘Til the next time there’s rain in the forecast Now they’re home in separate places No choice but to embrace this Isolated loneliness, their life stalls and slows Everyone knows Star-gazing’s over and done They both wished for a shooting star but there were none The moon lit up their path home, Goodyear tires spun When she wakes up in the morning, we’ll fill in the sun

Stalling 01:47
Counting the cracks on the wall Wondering if the spot on my ceiling has grown Why do I feel so small? What they see as a pebble I see as a mountain It’s too tall For me to climb so I’m stuck Countin’ the cracks on the wall Daybreak Nightfall Am I too late? Did I miss the curtain call? I stall Counting the cracks on the wall Wondering if the sadness I’m feeling will loom I hear them down the hall What they see as a droplet I see as a fountain Would they miss me at all If I stayed in my room Countin’ the cracks on the wall

Afterwards 03:06
The vibe shifts and I feel like I’m floating What are these daggers I seem to be holding? Someone threw them a while ago So I grabbed them and held them way too close What is it like to let go? What is it like to let go and not know And have no lump in your throat? And see the world from a new telescope Maybe not everyone is out to get me Maybe I’m gonna be fine Maybe I’m gonna be fine Maybe everyone’s just worried about their own shit and doesn’t give a single shit about the shit that is only mine The sun shines but this time it’s not burning my face it just highlights the people before me The old man as he’s mowing the grass He looks up and he sees me and waves, real friendly I really thought he despised me A twenty-some kid with opinions and worries But maybe he does somewhat like me And maybe he sees past the thunder and lightning Maybe not everyone is out to get me Maybe I’m gonna be fine Maybe I’m gonna be fine Maybe everyone’s just worried about everything that everybody else thinks about them so they think everyone’s fine My mind’s like a broken record, I can’t take it anymore What happens after all the pressure, what does my brain have in store Can I stand to see the sunlight? Open trees and room to soar? Instead of claustrophobic dark nights in my head with a locked door Do you think I could be fine? Maybe not everyone is out to get me I think I’m gonna be fine Everything’s gonna be fine

Spring Song 03:25
This is the part where the sun shines And a slight breeze Dances with my hair The quiet breeze It moves me And all my worries I forget they’re even there I pretend they aren’t there I pretend they aren’t there (I don’t care) Then the wind Grows angry and wide eyes chill my skin While the sky turns gray I can’t mask The storm it’s approaching Will the rain Wash it all away? People blur by They keep mumbling Can they not hear All the thundering? The breeze stops I can’t see Anything This is the part Where the storm grows And my mind knows only one thing The violent wind it shakes me And my anxiety I feel it in the air It takes up my air You’ve taken my air It’s not fair The wind grows angry and wide eyes Chill my skin while the sky turns gray I can’t mask the storm it’s approaching Will the rain wash it all away People blur by They keep mumbling Can they not hear All the thundering? The breeze stops I can’t see Anything The breeze stops I can’t see past the trees They block the breeze I can’t see anything This is the part where the sun shines And all my worries I pretend that they aren’t there
