A harbor town, just like this one, swept up in fog
the seagulls, ghosts emerging from the skies

the river glistens soft & wide,
the Cranes for now are sleeping giants

he kisses her, the anxious gun pressed tight
against his hand in his pocket

he is a dock worker
she is a seamstress

they're a black & white film
because technicolor here is impossible

he is you & she is me
we speak only in French

the kids on the block
will get you the next day.
I live in a harbor town & it means I always have fog & 1930's french movies on my mind...
If I shined brighter then all the stars,
I'd stay right here where we are,
And if the sky was blue and bright,
I'd wish to stay with all my might,
I'm not perfect,
Not even close,
But if I were,
I'd stay right here,
For I'm no star,
Shining bright,
Just a girl with a little light.
Be afraid of me,
I'm the monster you cannot see,
Deep inside is where I hide,
With demons always by my side,
Constantly advancing,
Once you get a taste you will never be free,
Be fearful wandering soul,
For I will continue to pull,
It will never cease.
Infinite skies,
Infinite lives,
Infinite lies lied,
Infinite tears cried,

How many times?
How many kinds?
How many different infinite tries?

— The End —
