i) come up from the comedown
even bright lights and neon come to pass and now
i'm staring at the same things i always have while
recognizing this strange new type of comfort and
daydreaming the destinations still unknown
for some reason it feels like all that has happened
has changed absolutely nothing
ii) slice me open and fill me with your touch
no point in going back to the way it was
just a constant sense of wonder of what
it'd be like for you to read the words i write
let's reimagine the outside and greet it one day
to drown in the falling petals
iii) i made this with you in mind so please take it
abstraction disguises feelings well but
even paintbrushes can't seem to tell the truth
all that plus the things you see on screen will just
make you sick in the head and worry for nothing
iv) now go blossom with what there is inside
so anxious for the little things
i'd take a lap or two around the sun
if it meant being in the same room as you
v) the you in you is you
there's powers within nostalgia that we should
harness to make this a world a gentler place
vi) stare into the mirror and at what's left to conquer
i'll see you when all this is over
