To look down from above
There’s no god in the heavens.
You won’t find it looking up.
Sometimes you have to see the world,
How the heavens would see… us.
In the boring, unique, and subjective.
In the small chatter across a dance floor,
In the old guard dog that lays brazenly across old sofas,
In smiles with a stranger,
And heart palpitations.
Even in the wind,
Or in a cold shoulder,
Burning knowledge,
And a bottle that’s broken.
You’ve been given all of the pieces to find,
What you’ve been searching for inside.
Maybe what I’m trying to say is the presence of any kind of god would be all around us.
Or maybe even within us.

I hold my home in my hands,
My mind flies around like a phantom,
And all along she was there,
Touching my skin,
Oh she got me going mental.
What would you do,
If I loved you just a little?
What would you do,
If I lean a little closer?
It’s my fault,
I haven’t done what I’m supposed to,
I was wrong,
For bottling all these emotions.
Fail fail fail
Try again
Fail fail fail
Try harder
Fail fail fail
What are your regrets
Fail fail fail
Till the altar
Where there’s a meaning,
there’s an author,
And they experience all that they wander
Spread your wings,
a jump little farther
And fail fail fail
No longer
moth
when i look deep into your eyes,
hypnotized, i’m staring into a light.
i squint my eyes, but im still stuck to you.
i’m burning up from the things that you do.
well i’m a moth,
in the dark im lost,
and it seems all i want here is you.
yea just a moth,
in the dark im lost,
and it seems all i want here is you.
tonight,
you and me,
the sunrise,
i envy.
no home,
come save me,
window,
escaping.
well i’m a moth
in the dark im lost,
and the only light i had was you
yea just a moth,
in the dark i’m lost,
and the only light i had was you.
just leave me,
it’s hopeless,
im burnt up,
and swollen.
someone,
once told me,
true love,
is stolen.

let your light consume
my every shadow
i heard the moon
she whispered things that didn’t matter
i find it rude
she leaves every few hours
she said i was always there
you just didn’t see me
and when she came back
i was the one leaving
You’re the moon and I’m the tides,
You pull me closer with your eyes.
a little green bug landed on my arm, out of instinct i swiped at it. oh what a shame something so small and so unaware had to meet its end, on my skin.
Take one step at a time,
Don’t rush it.
Be a turtle.
my heart aches for you
i can’t take it anymore
leave my heart at the door
spilling blood on the floor
stuck in my head i won’t go
to that dark place i know
try to explain my thoughts
lost in translation i’m lost
