A river passes by
saturating the dry
red earth below.

Tunnels are saved,
caves are lost.
Who let you in?

A swamp above,
a basin of love,
a sound forgotten.

It floods the core,
It melts the rock,
a lie revealed.

Filling my mind filled thick like a sauna,
marinated with wine plenty in the cellar,
oil on canvas dried brush thick in yellow;
it's me who grows this time.

Pollinated hives dress the wind with nectar,
one soothing cry calms the silence forever,
coins jingle by in the cup of a beggar;
it's me who grows this time.

The way I see
I'm arid mars,
and down on me
your Venus flows,

and I can feel
scary and new,
and I can feel
you all around,

and eventually
you will be,
a part of me
and we'll both turn,

into something free
together now,
just you and me
so much to show.

Show me the ocean,
the great divide.
Two human beings
stand at either side.

I heard a story
a monster lives inside.
Maybe if I ask him
he'll take me for a ride, to

the air,
the water,
the earth,
the fire.

The crescent moon,
it forms a bridge,
a great mirror
your eyes can never miss.

So while we wait to
get past this abyss,
in our minds is where
we'll share our first kiss, in

the air,
the water,
the earth,
the fire.

I thought it'd be funny if I ended up with you.
Through my quivering laugh I wish into the moon.
Fate, god, or magic, one of them came through.
It's true.

Well sometimes life's a joke, isn't it?
It drags you back just when you're ready to quit.
You lay your cards upon the table,
and its pawn takes your king.

Today at night as I look up to the moon,
I know that in the past you'll look there too,
A marred connection, the crater's dunes,
A blinding light dulls the gloom.

Casual conversation,
waiting at the station,
it doesn't really mean she likes you, boy.

Listening to your problems,
sitting in the flowers,
it doesn't really mean she likes you, boy.

So listen when I tell you,
why you're feeling blue because,
you deserve a better life, my boy.

You don't have to fight,
all the ****** time because,
you deserve a better life, my boy.

I know you really like her,
but don't tell her about your father,
she really doesn't care about you, boy.

She's going to keep you around,
cause she likes your voice's sound,
she really doesn't care about you, boy.

You don't need a partner,
just to make yourself feel better,
you're perfect just the way you are, my boy.

You don't have to try,
these things just take some time,
you're perfect just the way you are, my boy.

When you're feeling safe
to show your true face,
That's when you'll know.
You'll know.
