lyrics

Early this morning, while
i couldn't sleep, i wondered
if it was the cold from outside
that crept underneath
the sheets to greet me
or if it was just the constricted
heart in my chest that
was lacking heat /
either way, i couldn't
find words to speak
but they found me,
filling every corner
of my head / and i could
do nothing other than
lay in the staggering silence,
wishing that my thoughts
were dead, yearning to
free myself from
the suffocating stench
of emotion
which only seemed
to grow with each passing
moment / should i be considering
options for atonement
or do i accept that we have
become nothing
more than opponents?
...

It isn't love that hurts
us / most of the damage
that is registered
by our hearts is dealt
by misdirected hands,
trying to maintain
a tight grip on their
reality and sense of self /
and words landing
the way that we heard
them, not how they were
sent or even meant /
fear is pollution
and tears are just a solution,
salt for our pride
and closed wounds /
but you can't see the other
side, if you won't zoom /

discord and miscommunication
are not love / see, trying
to understand
a foreign tongue doesn't
usually make sense,
ultimately
we can only hope that
love affords us the power
to grant understanding,
when and where it's needed
most but it all comes back
to the host / i think what
i'm trying to say is,
love cannot be anything
less than what it is, once
it has been given a place
to live / it can not be diminished
or extinguished, even if
a pair finds themselves feeling
like disparate fruit and that
their course is finished,
their love will remain
the same as it was when
it was first exchanged /
i mean, maybe that's just
my brain and i'm still riding
this train of thought,
alone / but i know if i love
you today, tomorrow,
nothing will make it
change /
