Can't Describe it

I’ve been running for nights at a time
I’ve been avoiding short fuses in the night
Its woven under me
so tight that I can’t breathe
I wish that I could let it go
let go of a feeling subconscious and sad
its beautiful, habitual
and honestly a little mad
I’m not alone in this
but we don’t ever talk about it
how could i confront this?
don’t know how to feel about it
something’s not right but I can’t articulate
the origins, the reasons, for all this extra weight
i stumble on through
finding my own truth
I wish that, wish I wasn’t in my own way
let go of a feeling subconscious and sad
its beautiful, habitual
and honestly a little mad
I’m not alone in this
but we don’t ever talk about it
how could i confront this?
don’t know how to feel about it
maybe one day
the lens in our brains will go away, away
dissipate
maybe one day
i’ll stand on solid ground and there i’ll stay… ill stay
chasing dreams
with racing thoughts
just when you’re found
again you’re lost
now’s the time
to let it go
take one more step
you’re on your own

You Are That Sky

last night i got lost under a starless sky
i felt calm and whole
yet deeply terrified
when i tilted my head back
i exhaled to see my breath
while the weight of the darkness above
churned chaos in my chest
my mind became ephemeral
while my body turned to stone
no constellations of your name
guiding me back home
i wanna think I’m still near you
i wanna think you feel me too
when your cells get fractured
and your thoughts escape too soon
i am the earth tonight
you are that sky
we don’t need the starlight
slowly understandings came over me
like comets, like kisses, like broken beliefs
it wasn’t long before i was gone
& the starless sky filled in the missing piece
when i tilted my head back
i exhaled to see my breath
while the weight of the darkness above
churned chaos in my chest
my mind became ephemeral
while my body turned to stone
no constellations of your name
guiding me back home
i wanna think I’m still near you
i wanna think you feel me too
when your cells get fractured
and your thoughts escape too soon
i am the earth tonight
you are that sky
we don’t need the starlight
in this, sky, i
see the similarity
betweeen your words and
all your mystery
i wish this familiarity
wouldn’t drive me to insanity
drive me to insanity
i wanna think I’m still near you
i wanna think you feel me too
when your cells get fractured
and your thoughts escape too soon
i am the earth tonight
you are that sky
we don’t need the starlight
i wanna think I’m still near you
i wanna think you feel me too
when your cells get fractured
and your thoughts escape too soon
i am the earth tonight
you are that sky
we don’t need the starlight
