When the day winds down to a rolling end
My room becomes a cave again
The walls fall down, and twist and bend
My bones will break and never mend

And suddenly I am seized
into a torrent of my emotion
a stormy veined ocean holding me
in its arms as I suppress my body
into nothing, just simply the way
the wind lifts your hair in a breeze or
how the sky likes to echo your mood
or maybe I am the shadow of darkness
striking your face as the sun has set
and the light is almost gone. Or maybe
I am the soft whistle in the air
rushing past your ear or I am the moment
when your music is playing, the sun is warm on
your face and you look out over the graffiti walls below
you and feel okay again. You remember
a million footsteps have pounded the
ground beneath you. The feeling that you
will never be the last; the world will not
stop going.

I fall into the eclipse
Let it fold over my body
Every thought is a black hole
Draining all of the life from me
When the future comes looming in,
it's great big galaxies blooming over my
eyes that have been crying
for a bit too long tonight

When I look out of the window
Suddenly I am the nebula
In my eye's telescope - out there somewhere
And I'm floating in the atmosphere
Feeling like it's wonderful
Only for a short while before the mud
beneath my feet cradles me back in.
And I'll let it happen.

Maybe let our hands hold each other as we're walking down a busy street
You say some simple words to me but they feel like a masterpiece.

Padding feet on the ocean shore
Man and girl are walking - quiet
as they can be for the waves are calling out
Out and in, out and in, out and in, dos.

Muddy, gritty fingers scraping against cotton
Words left unsaid walk along beside them
And her nails grip into her arm
She breathes out and in, out and in, out and in, dos.

The world around is ebbing away
Melting off the canvas shore
Layer upon layer of blue, blue paint
Out and in, out and in, out and in, dos.

I clutched onto the edge of the bus seat
Like it was a white cliff
Stringy hair covering my cheeks
Stained and littered with tears
At 7:31pm
I passed your street
And for a moment it all stopped
I remembered what it was like before all of this
So forth I rocked on the cliff edge
Wondering whether I should jump off now
Or save it for later
A little glimpse of hope that you might come back
The only thing holding me back now
