things i love
always leave me feeling lonely

finally seen and it shows
wandering down to the Lethe
wondering where it all goes
could you forget about me
still wishing and we’re
the only ones who know

who’s teaching who?
sure hope i’m becoming something
spit shine me
either a diamond or a worthless thing
live through this
long enough to find out

new but familiar
dark kinda humor
needing it closer but further
desperate yet still
i keep all i want away

caught on the line
lost in the time
the hours until you find me

broken record
don’t i listen?
no, i just repeat

i have to find a way
to me without you

babe, i’m gonna lose you
back to the beginning
the first lines that i ever wrote
or did they write me
can’t find a way to separate the
beginning from the end
my pain from your death

it’s all the same
isn’t it
wasn’t it
just how i always thought it would be?
the end, the start
one in the same and it ends the same way
one way or another
i’m lost to the wind
another ribbon thrown to the sea
caught in all the lies
all the things you say i mean

is it just that i can’t trust?
it’s me and the moon and
no way out alive

lost on the boat
places i can’t row
deep water between you and I
always something separating me from everything I love

like missing someone i
never knew
but still i can feel you
waiting for me to come home

long time coming
lines on my palm
all the roads didn’t lead me back to you
but they led me back home

i felt it
the spark
the spirit
the stone
crawled up
out of the grave
one day
finally
came
