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

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
