Would you mind, if I destroy the world and leave you all behind? When you die, you will start again, this world will make you cry Would you meet me down by the fire? Some comfort from the rain, the storm Your bones are filled with desire To die again You came to save the world And he's just staring at the sun You bright eyed, mighty fool Your suffering has just begun And now you turn and draw your sword!
2.
Can we change the lights that hang above us back into stars again? Why do you cry? Is it that moment that left you high and dry? You were stuck there, I was lying still I am not the thing you seek inside the lights hanging up over the streets The world we know is frail and weak, unceasing like the birds in the night I am crying out for stars
3.
Spinning back and forth between black and the blue And it doesn't feel like there is anything to do I just wanna lay around and be outside all day But every time the moon comes out with darkness in his wake There's a darkness here I can hide it lights in every corner There's a darkness here lights will save the day There's a darkness here I can hide it lights in every corner There's a darkness here lights will save the day
4.
I don't know which way I move The sun gets mixed up with the moon And I will be here for today And the tomorrow move away Hey you, what's it you you? Are you having a bad day? Hey love, what's the matter? Is there anything I can do today? And I don't know which way I move The sun gets mixed up with the moon And I will be here for today And then tomorrow move away Hey you, what's it to you? Are you having a bad time? Hey love, what is new? We haven't spoken in quite some time.

They smell like the last summer you spent outside: heavy Do you remember the walks along our street? They are everywhere now. No petals, the scent lingers Feel the pain in our fingers Shed the skin which is no longer mine Fall asleep. Take the train. Live in silence, die in vain. Keep me quiet so I am not a real person And if you look a little closer The grass stains on the soles got bleached out Fall asleep. Take the train. Live in silence, die in vain. Fall asleep. Take the train. Live in silence, die in vain.

hollowed out 03:40
Do you know me? Do you care? Would you mind if I came in there? Can you feel this? Can you cry? Are you hollowed out on the inside? Do you notice that you're still alive? How many times today, have you died? We continue to survive.

about

In a cave somewhere, playing Dark Souls:

When escapism becomes the priority, worlds are lost and lines are blurred. If we’re really just sitting on the couch, I’m going to need some proof.

Walking home alone, humming to myself:

Streetlights are stars, black is blue, and we might as well be as tall as the giants.

Feel(ing) the gravity of it all:

it’s a beautiful day.
