Broken strings, glass-tear eyes— where’s that smile from a distance? :been a bit distant— clapped back at feelings; can you hear the applause in the distance? You are my world in a world full of sin— seen as you are, sin as you are; I still let you in; for better, no worse— your cold, my warm…you don’t just feel— you are my poem.

Applause in the Distance
Broken strings, glass-tear eyes— where’s that smile from a distance? :been a bit distant— clapped back at feelings; can you hear the applause in the distance? You are my world in a world full of sin— seen as you are, sin as you are; I still let you in; for better, no worse— your cold, my warm…you don’t just feel— you are my poem.
