All of this
is moving past me
I can see everything
just out of my reach
Standing still
on a speeding train
And all I have
is fading pictures
in my mind

Eyes are open wide
after all this time
I can see you on
the other side
This is what i feared
watching us disappear
growing into different shapes
that no longer fit together
Both our hearts are closed
Both of us up to our throats
I used to be the hand you'd hold
In the distant light of youth
with eyes that only told the truth
Who am I and who are you again?
Oh the stream
carried us to different seas
I don't know if I can reach you

I’m calling out
Is it reaching you?
I didn’t try my best
But I wanted to
Do you still think about it?
Do you still dance around the thought of jumping in
And letting yourself sink?
I bet you do
Look at us now
You can see it fade
Our little lights and our frozen names
Do you still think about it?
Do you still dance around the thought of jumping in
And letting yourself sink?
I bet you do
I know I do
/
(Today I will breathe.
I will inhale smoke and winter air
and exhale breath, in the shape of a song
or some un-kindled verse that finds no home
between the bars of a rhyme.
Today I will breathe.
I will ask the world for a second alone.
just one second to cast of the weight of a life
and stand free in quiet contentment.
Today I will be brave.
I will be stoic like some old statue
braving the battery the world slings.
I will be calm.
I will know myself like I did as a child.
At least for a while,
before I must again face the shadowy figure
in the back of my mind
that taps gently on the window,
beckoning me with its finger.
Not today.
Today I will breathe)
Who are you holding onto now?

I Need a Ship to Sail

I tapped out
You can’t hurt me now
Made my home on the breeze
Dug my grave in the sand
I’ve been looking
I keep looking
Endless Ocean, all I see
I need a ship to sail; I need a place to be
It’s so lifeless
It’s so frail
All that I used to be
I was kind
I was handsome then
Built my walls
Endless Ocean, all I see
I need a ship to sail; I need a place to be
