1.
I thought i saw an angel with your eyes Swimming in the deep alaskan sea Colored in by the sky turning red, As my fingers grew numb A whole eternity passed before the minute was up Under my skin, a wave crashed And in the vacant ocean, i remember you sometimes Collecting your sadness in the dark, while the fluorescents stay Turned all the way up I cant stop breathing in your air, The forest’s looming eyes just stare Collapsed between my feet, you laugh, and i swore i could hear you there I see the moon sometimes, reflected in your eyes Gentle, blue, oblivion, I can play pretend if you want me to Holy ghost, it's not an oath To any deity we know We hold our hands, together like this And crawl into the flames of our hometown It's not an oath, or a promise That you made to keep, It's just another excuse to leave
2.
I was sleeping when the fire hit the back of the barn Creeping up the lilies, infesting our lungs Tethered to a feeling that soon left a scar Circumstances like this make us who we are I was swimming in the bathtub in the middle of the lawn Clinging on to my youth like an arrow to a fawn Purging my complexion, erasing the scars Embracing my reflection in the suffocating fog Toil my grave, This looming tower I know this face I see it all the time Flowers for the girl With an honest heart In a foreign land Washed away in the flood, Under sea and stone, Buried in the brittle soil we stand
3.
I was standing in the fog Of an unforgiving god To me, this view was heaven sent The mountains, like raised scars Collecting on my heart The rivers flowed from one hand to the next And as the darkness from the pure blue light Collects itself between our palms I know this has an expiration A final destination Woven into stars outside my door In a memory, a score I don't remember My lips surrender a sigh Out of darkness we lie The ever-rotating sky
4.
On the corner Falling in between the cracks in concrete In the forest Collecting dust upon my eyes And you like it when i Dont say a thing The paper folds in between us As my skin begins to fade In the iridescent planet water The hopeless sheen And nobody’s coming home again I wait for the bell to ring I lost myself, But i can always be found
