this tiny little rock don't provide much gravity
and my words spin off
***** nilly
but the void's your friend
so I know you'll hear them
sooner or later
time or space or otherwise

I wish I could be
effortlessly me
but the effort
is always
there

one day
I'll be lying there
drawing my last few breaths

and I hope I'll be able to say
ok, so that's who she was
she wasn't so bad

I started crying
because I was feeling so lost

And I stopped
After a while
Because I ran out of tears

And I still don't know
Where I am or where I'm going
But my tears on the ground
Show me where I have been

I wish I had

More love
Less anger

More hope
Less fear

More strength
More self
More time
To fix the things I've broken

It will come
It will come

honesty is
the ace in the hole
we crawled into

honesty is
the last place we look
and we find our keys there

the day that everyone stayed inside
and the Outside came knocking
"where are you?"

"i miss you."
"it's not the same"
but it was the same
it would always be the same silent spaces
where there would have been
the memory of voices
if there were anyone left to remember
