65 Miles

People have a strange tendency
Of promoting letting go of the ones we love
In order to somehow prove our affections

Maybe I'm just selfish
But when I really love someone
I want nothing more than to keep them close

This distance is killing me
I think that's pretty clear to see

Neverland

It seems like more and more often
Growing up
Involves seeing the people around you
Get hurt
I feel like maybe Peter Pan had the right idea

Maybe my problem is I keep searching for Neverland instead of learning to live in the real world.

blue eyes, white lies.

I have been in love
with thoughts and ideas,
but I have never been in love
with a whole person.
longing and loving
are entirely different,
even though I feel like
they're the same.

Stigma

I think it speaks volumes
That when I felt like falling apart
And you asked what was wrong
I felt the need to cover up
With a physical ailment

Drift me off to the Land of the Nod

The irony of course
Is that these lyrics
Are speaking of
The very thing
That the music
Is helping me evade

Maybe if I stay very still, I'll dissolve into the background

You've been looking at me
Like you don't think I'm real
And you know what?
I'm not even sure at this point

I'm careful not to let you too close
You might discover the truth

Relativity

This song has been playing for almost an hour
Is time creeping by slowly
Or is it just on repeat?
Just as with life
Sometimes it's hard to tell.

It feels like 2 am but it's only 11.
