swallowed by the night
i forgot to say it was good
i’ve been searching for myself
but who i once was is dead
sometimes she cries out from the ashes of my memories
i gotta let her burn
let the world turn
she’ll always have a friend in me
time passes so fast and each moment i learned to cherish because the end is inevitable
everything in hindsight will soon be forgotten
hidden in a trance
i’ll save the last dance for when love finally understands
my wounds yearn for relief
a gentle caress filled with genuineness
i’ve felt the universes kiss before
on my wrists and on my lips
don’t tell me when it’s over
just tap me on the shoulder and wave goodbye
life has always been a “let’s try another time”
hide behind the hours chimes
in the night i forfeit my will to cry
help me find the reasons why my hands can’t grasp the hour glass as before
i watch the specks hit their doom
it’s always a constant rhythm that puts us in a better room
life hasn’t beat me yet
but time has something up its sleeve
as long as i dream a little dream
they can’t catch me

There is this specific place,
Where a river meets the sea.
There is this particular story,
When I got to meet you.

It's all been smooth sailing,
Until we hit a rocky path.
Now we are on the estuary,
Seeking for growth as we go.

and i'll stumble around my wrongdoings and for them i will not feel shameful
i will learn how to shape myself into a body that knows its limits
and as i stumble i won't regret
i won't regret

I am a creature
Of movement and pain.
In movement and pain I exist
And have always existed.
To cease movement
Will be to pass from existence.
I am a creature
Of movement and pain.

breathe in, breathe out
keep calm and stay relaxed
laugh when it's funny
smile when you're happy
flex those face muscles
frown when you're angry
speak up, be heard
always in a manner
so gentle yet firm
know when to sit down
and listen too
words will come when they do
you'll learn the world revolves
around the sun— not you
and most of all
remove the glove
touch the people you love
they're precious
when held in your heart
they're most precious
when held in your arms
