Own Universe 02:46
The less you're in love, the more you can say, maybe that's why, I'm rendered speechless. your face next to mine makes my soul want to burst maybe that's why my tongue is a desert the bones in your face are an elegant thing your nimble strange mind more elegant still you hold my hands and remind me to breathe, you whisper softly when I'm in a panic and we hold hands and stand high above the town we dance like barbarians and tear through the house we look up at the lights that bloom across the sky we are our own universe just you and I. and I never wanted to be this in love because I'm afraid of how much it hurts when you lose a lover to breakup for death everything beautiful in this world ends but I'm throwing myself in headfirst this time because I believe that you are worth it some people think falling in love is a mistake but you're the best mistake that I've ever made

Don't cry little bird they can take away your friends they can take away your dignity they can take away your memories they can take away your breath but the love you felt once, it feels like such a long time ago its woven into your hollow bones your soul is laced with it don't cry little bird its hidden deep behind your eyes its been such a while since you've felt that sparkle but with every flap of your tiny wings you stir the air and in that air there is a trace amount of the love you once felt exhaled with your breath

I am a second growth forest At a distance I look stoic but rats scurry over roots and birds nest in the trees and a deers corpse is stripped of its flesh by time, and flies, and sunlight everything is found within

February 03:16
I tasted the air and it tasted like ice the dominant colour of winter is white I stayed in too long and now I don't feel right the sunlight returns after too long a night february I sleep with my curtains opened at night the echoes of moonlight seep into my room when my eyes adjust, I can see faintly the outline of objects etched into the gloom The northern lights look like sinew unravelled or caribou marching across a black sky the people they walk swaddled in parkas with nothing left visible except their eyes I feel myself freezing I feel myself slipping I feel myself drawn to the bleak solitude Others they sink in liquor and gold dust but I find intoxicants ruin my mood 'Cause I like the silence I like the sunset I like the ice fog that blurs the whole town the quiet commune with the dust on my dresser is how I pass winter how I'm still around

Ghost 02:56
I'm a ghost in this town in these streets and I look, I look for you but you're not here And I wonder how you've changed, you're still the same And my life is somewhere else I've gone away And I've grown to greater size And I don't fit Through the lenses of your eyes I can see A vacant consuming stare You're not there.
