Places 03:55
I remember the days with my body in school but my mind was far away: thinking of ways that you could be forever alone with me. As you sat under the oak, you thought all my doing was just another joke, so you dropped it and it blew away: taken by the wind to a further, different place. Of all the places it goes it never arrives at your home; the one place it belongs, the only place all along. You rode off in his car as you drove to a place that wasn't very far, but it was still too much distance that my love could never cross. Of all the places it goes it never arrives at your home; the one place it belongs, the only place all along.

Breathe the sky. Calm your eyes. Let them see Where you should be

These mirrors don’t do what they’re supposed to do: they reflect a boy who feels the best that he could, but it doesn’t show the person crying out below: the one who cries out, but the words never reach his mouth. They just stay inside his contemplating mind. And every time I start to think that everything’s fine, I see my reflection, and I realize my lonely direction to a place of exclusion from the people that had drawn the conclusion that I was afraid to speak the statements I could never say. They just stay inside my contemplating mind. But that one time, when you held your hand in mine, was the best moment of my life cause everything wrong felt right.

Ships 03:38
Waiting for ships to arrive: carrying useless supplies. Vessels that look to the skies, but tonight the stars aren’t aligned. Sailing the unknown abyss: trying to find the one thing that you miss, but it’s hard when you don’t even know what that one thing is. We’re not gonna float in your worn-down boat cause it’s filled to the brim with the tears that you've cried over him.

With everything changing, I can’t keep up. I feel left behind, with no help when I look up. No help from above. No help from anyone. Everyone seems to grow up faster than me, and it’s hard to realize that I’ll be the last to learn who I’m supposed to be. Who am I supposed to be?
6.
The sandy shores of Lake Michigan make me feel at home: make me fit in. The festival’s lights make me feel so warm till others take them down selfishly for their own. The six one six never felt alone till everybody else left him on his own. Left him on his own. As I watched you try to hopelessly count the grains I gained a new sight that this is just your game.
7.
I locked myself outside Into the cold, dark night, and the streetlights gave no light, but my eyes were still bright. And my path had never been so clear. I walked home in the road with the cars’ fading red glow, and for once I wasn’t torn cause I didn’t care anymore And my path had never been so clear cause to me you would always be dear.
