I’ve spent the day estranged Wishing for a brighter day The clouds were lined with silver And the sun was gleaming over the river But the moments I skipped over We’re the chances I left smoldering And if silence was the captain Then my tongue was her right hand And I left us both apart And blamed the wind for my faulty sails So without words I sold my soul I stole a goal just to stay cold In the heat of this mid-spring afternoon I spent blaming myself for this lack of you I dream in shapes, not sounds, That bleed together to shed the ground Of any shadows I left around My mistakes are making waves But I won’t leave the drag of the undertow So, today, I made mistakes And blamed the way the earth could quake. Instead of seeking out the calm, I built a storm and blamed the rain. There are many things that I fall short on And not getting up seems to be what haunts me. I am grateful for the sunset So I can start again anew

To Quell The Desire
I’ve spent the day estranged Wishing for a brighter day The clouds were lined with silver And the sun was gleaming over the river But the moments I skipped over We’re the chances I left smoldering And if silence was the captain Then my tongue was her right hand And I left us both apart And blamed the wind for my faulty sails So without words I sold my soul I stole a goal just to stay cold In the heat of this mid-spring afternoon I spent blaming myself for this lack of you I dream in shapes, not sounds, That bleed together to shed the ground Of any shadows I left around My mistakes are making waves But I won’t leave the drag of the undertow So, today, I made mistakes And blamed the way the earth could quake. Instead of seeking out the calm, I built a storm and blamed the rain. There are many things that I fall short on And not getting up seems to be what haunts me. I am grateful for the sunset So I can start again anew
