Sigur Rós - Fjögur píanó

Washed Out - Before

Teen Daze - Late

Amazing

Dear Joe

I put you in your place
Like pictures on a wall
Hanging excuses left and right
Not knowing when they'll fall
"Just try to make it fit" you say
"Just keep it in my sight"
But the things you never noticed
Were the things I had to fight

Open up the games you play
Leave them out for all to see
I organize the rules so you can
Tug-O-War with me
Rearrange the pieces, gather up the points
Fix the unconventional like they were broken joints
Call it almost starting, call it what you will
My heart's already whole you see
There's nothing you can fill

Red balloon



Upon a red balloon I ponder love and loss
Go far away to places that glow with pride
I don’t only get dreamy at nightfall, my darling
The days too are filled with fantasies and long-awaited whispers by candlelight
Come to my ocean for flight
My arms grow into pelagic birds that lift me higher into a man’s heart
Spin in circles and create elongated dancers out of memories
I hid my picture from you all that time
And now I’m brave enough for you to see it
You couldn’t tell me what is true because I already trust my instincts
Inspiration flourishes 
Right before
Dawn
I sit on your balcony and dream of existence with you
Espresso and cookies in bed 
I wake with your kisses and dream for nonsense 
For our world couldn’t be anything what their world is
J’espere seulement qu’il sait vrai que mon amour est
Erase anything but Antibes

Oops I lost it



It’s hard for my mouth to form sentences naturally
I need my mind to coincide organically 
but when I put my thoughts together they sound too scattered
and I can’t anymore.
graceful and with tact I put on a show
to let you see how far I will go
to trick you into thinking I’m something I’m not
shy and endearing, yearning to be caught
to break away from the facade of the confident and mighty
I’m so fucking fickle and ever-so-flighty
I trip and I fall down the dark rabbit hole
grab my hand bravery, away we go
scraped and battered I emerge from the dust
I held onto him, the only one I could trust
he showed me a way of protecting myself
while revealing to the world all those things I had held
within me for longer than you can possibly imagine
the box was open and I stuck my hand in
to grab on to hope with all that I have
to play with its ribbons and untie the sack
let me search and search til I can finally find
my voice that had stifled that life left behind
I devour and swallow every new beginning
to find myself is my only way of living

Wanderlust


Mixed messages laced with kind eyes
constellations rise and I follow floating dreaming
wandering into the night and needing space to walk through
what I thought was my sanity
but it cascaded down like a lonely ball
so I tried to vanish with it tossing turning tumbling
lately it’s all because of his stories I stop
stop to stare at every magnificent beautiful grain of sand
I go where the ocean goes
I trail along 
farther than a naked eye on the sea
splash in buff titanium and aqua eyelashes 
big sur calls to me
I think I’ll visit my day now
let it wash away my visible scars 
foreign and profound
oh how I long for warmth in a quiet song
tread light on the cold promise of winter

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.
