Darling Let me lead you To lead me on Leave a light on my back So you can trust that The floor hasn't gone I want you to feel safe Let me take you away To free yourself Your feet will just tap With my hand on your back You're nowhere else

Loss, is when you turn the light out I don't trust my nose enough, to believe you're still there Frost, and warm wind come in windows the same, way But I can tell it's summer today Let's hope there's sunlight, on the way Falling through spring leaves, to your face How can so few features, have so much to say If, there was some lunar reflection Branches could do their dances and I could listen, away my fear It's amazing, how well you look with your eyes closed Read me something, your pupils froze You and I, should stare, at each other I hope, you want, to stay Let's hope there's moonlight, in those clouds Rising from dry grass, to your mouth How can so few features, take up the whole day Tap, your tongue, twist it in turmoil Let me feel, the blond hairs on your cheek The birds, can sing summertime With the sun rays, as their strings Let's hope there's sunlight, on the way Falling through spring leaves, to your face How can so few features, take up the whole day

I know that good air is hard to find It's a limited resource and I don't mind If you steal mine I know it's not hard to stay apart Problems seem much smaller when you look from that far Over so much time But oh We could be together If you just Breathe You know it hurts for me to watch you Drown in the open air, no way to stop to Take you back inside Your hair falls in place against my hands I would choke you close and bunch up the strands Let you unwind And oh I would drink all your pain But you can't Breathe You and I Could gasp Could choke Could drown Could fall Together We know who we were mere seconds ago We could work in moments we'd know What we'd find And oh We would be together But you won't Breathe

It's too bad, that lonely, and terrified And worried and small, are too many words to say I can't see past my nose, when I brush my teeth I'm not enough, with just me All that time, being silent, together And what quiet have I gained How could, someone say, this is better I've too much space though the room is the same Why can't you and I be logical You make me feel objectified Your presence lingers, though here is somewhere else to you Can't you occupy my eyes Moments remain Pleasant smiles and shame Time is gone Oh no How can anyone Oh no How can anyone, know

about

This is an album about the myopic nature of perspective in a relationship.
