As I lived
Music always lingered on every moment.
A soundtrack to every scene,
A beat for every memory,
Hummed and sung so joyfully,
Or cried out in agony.

The earworms I once bellowed out,
Till I'd emptied my lungs
...
I now listened to and understood.
Not entirely
But there was pain.
Tragedy.
Longing.
So much struggle concealed under a poppy melody.

How far I've come to sound like the music's changed,
When really,
It's me.

Where’s my whimsy and wonder?
There’s just fire and thunder.
Lost up in my head on every single blunder.

Did I do it wrong? Did I do it right?
I’ll stay up contemplating all night.

Never reach an answer,
But it’ll never leave my mind.
And through all this struggle, I realise I can’t find,
The wonder and whimsy I used to have inside.

my smile is louder than its ever been
the storms in my eyes has never been this
quiet
entrenched violence; reduced tiredness

everytime our fingers brush,
i can see sparks flying,
two bright stars colliding,
feels like i'm on a sugar rush

every time our eyes meet,
i can see your eyes glowing,
so like the sun, uff, burning,
oh, i know it's a treat, so sweet

everytime you smile at me,
i can see meteors showering,
soft stardust falling,
eyes light up with so much glee

everytime our lips touch,
i can see the sky exploding,
so many fireworks shooting,
god, it all feels a little too much

everytime our bodies fit, so right,
i can see the nebula glittering,
little asteroids shattering,
gleaming pieces, our souls lit so bright

everytime our fingers brush,
i can see sparks flying,
two bright stars colliding,
feels like i'm on a sugar rush

Oh, what force have heaven and hell devised,
That twists and drives the hearts of mankind.
To chase across the world,
Hearts both filled and broken,
Trusting in faith and hope
To bring us home.

When lost, one grieves,
When found, they smile.
Never is it a waste,
Yet always is it a blessing and a curse,
One that twists our journey on paths unimagined.

Risk it all.
The hurt
&
The happiness.

Live.
