lyrics

whats sad is
ill be forced to read this book forever.
but the upside is
my version has a better ending.
if only you could see what I'm reading.
if only you could read what I'm seeing.

in my mind, we're all better beings for this.
if i could climb
from the depths of this concluding lens.
and become tangible again.
I'd pause.

its hard to say if this really it
its hard to say thats this is everyone I've ever known
its best that im to keep a firm grip
for them
for them.
but, they didn't
bother to extend their hands at all
they didn't
bother to break through
to me.

since light would bend
I'd fail to mend this deaf ear
to the ever waking world
that crushed
whom you swore,
regardless,
would love (you).

hope is the rope
pulling me to you.
and love is the rope
that keeps you here.
at some point,
you'll quit singing this song.
ill vanish
piece by piece.

you were somewhere else
where the conscious seemed dormant
(but) i was by myself again
i was apart.

you were gone
before i could free up the current.
before the sky could dilate again.


may these sailing winds
shine on you.
may it guide you
your way home.
may the north star
point you straight ahead
heading straight forward.

its the strength i love
that surrounds us now.
because he's leaving
he is spreading.
everywhere.
to everyone.

your world is flat now
like the river bed.
some things will never bend
and you're better off.

you're better off
you're better off
i wanna see you smile for always.

a continuum
in this conduit.
you're better off.

from the depths of these dreams
ill climb up for you.
till your bones
meet your flesh again,
ill sing this song.
