Instrument 02:32
I can write your name with my eyes closed. And I taught myself to sing like you, note for note. Consider these words my devotion to eternity, “Drink me like water.” I want you to possess me. I’m a broken violin. Watch me pluck my little strings. Listen, the pathetic melody rings on endlessly, Through the bones of your body. Consider these words my devotion to eternity, “Drink me like water.” I need you to need me.
2.
Light in my eyes. Love in my skull. Too soon, too soon, too soon. You left too soon. You wouldn't let the world know you. And I reach my hand into the clouds. I pull you back down. You fly with the birds. A pattern across the horizon.
3.
Amnesia 02:44
There was nothing they could do. Into the past your future flew. How do you say goodbye to an empty room? All of the color. All of the sound. All of the memories. Everything is gone.
4.
This city has lost its romance. The streets are paved with departures. And I’ve loved every last love I have left. I’m waiting to cross at the intersection. And all I feel is regret. When all I want is you in my arms breathing my breath. I lost my mind to depression and found myself in lover’s sweat. I danced with the dark. I let the moon have my heart. We all need someone to sing tender words back to us. Sing sing sing sing, sing sing sing sing sing sing. I danced with the dark. I let the moon have my heart. And all I feel is regret. When all I want is you in my arms breathing my breath.
5.
Rose 04:02
Forever I know, this night lives in my dreams. Her reflection floats within reach. Above our voices the sun and the moon met. There are some words I’ll never forget. This must be the way inside. The sky is black. The city is cold. I invited the stars to stay the night. They’re still there—were they waiting for me? I ask and receive no reply. In a dream or a scene from a memory, I still see you do you still see me? We dance through fields of stars as far as light can reach. A love is a love is a love.
