once a you and once an i
I was pining for us where you stood, but you hold no candle to the dark
Setting flames to those around, won’t keep the body warm, but I’ll try, i’ll try just the same
I’ve been working on those second stories, second storey homes
and I pray the breaths I never took won’t betray the words I never said
I’ve been working on those second chances, second guessing you
and I pray the words that I never spoke won’t betray the breaths I held for you.
“Silent sound was the peace I found”
once a you and once an i
I was pining for us where you stood, but you hold no candle to the approaching dark
Setting flames to those around, won’t keep the body warm, but I’ll try, i’ll try just the same
Setting flames to those around, won’t keep the body warm, but I’ll try, i’ll try just the same
hope my feet don’t fail me now
hope the road won’t last too long
I’ve been setting fires all round town
You say
you say
That I speak too fast
you say
hope my broken blistered feet don’t fail me now
hope this winding road won’t last too long
for I’ve been setting fires all over this fucking town
and the ones that I can’t tend to and the ones that I can’t stop
won’t consume this lowly body, but it’s not the burns I fear
hope my broken blistered feet don’t fail me now
hope this winding road won’t last too long
for I’ve been setting fires all over this fucking town
and the ones that I can’t tend to and the ones that I can’t stop
won’t consume this lowly body, but it’s not the burns I fear
