I feel like I could sit and stare at nothing
Forever

Everyone keeps acting like it’s not a big deal
Like I’m just having a bad day
They don’t realize the thing in my head isn’t like a monster under my bed
It’s a relentless killer

ok okay
It is lonely here
This land is so far away
Beyond the empty blue
Past the acid rain
The sky is pitch black
The air is chill
Not a soul in sight
On my lonely hill
The stars have settled
The moon is beaming
The tears have dried
I have lost all feeling
It is lonely here
Sometimes it is hard to see
This lovely desolate land
Lacks company
What it feels like to grow up isolated and alone in New Zealand. One of the reasons why so many leave to Australia.

I used to search for you
Used to think about
how we will love and hug

But lately
The idea of you
is fading
And I am more than present

I used to look for you in the mall
And search for you in the dining hall
Used to see you in the park
And a glimpse of your back in the crowd

But lately
I stopped
Because you are right here
I feel you right here
The love of our life
is right here

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever searched
All I ever sought

When I look down the street
or open the window
or sing in the forest
or swim in the lake

I see you
right here
I feel you
right here

The bliss
of loving you
is right here
There is nothing
more to need or want
But living here now
with you
