years and years

days and days 

lonely empty loss 

longing 

apart afraid 

speak to me

cut through this terrible empty silence

you remember i know you do 

if you feed the desire it just grows 

one month 

two weeks 

days and weeks 

and years and years 

well then 

up to this moment i was something 

else 

someone else 

turn the clock over, 

tick on, 

tick tock

tickity tock

and there you go, 

more flashes, 

new change new life 

deal with it be strong 

braver 

except maybe i'm half-asleep

and dreaming of the highest stars 

dreaming of what might've been 

love and love 

and pretty words

underscored by some pain and loss 

well yes, 

that's how the story goes, 

that's how this song goes now, 

turning around and crashing down 

what it just built up 

mirror mirror 

tell me 

who am i

these walls 

imaginary, real 

seem to press down 

on those tired shoulders 

you and rest and you can pause

stop 

but you can't ever find a place 

to rest your head now 

and be safe from what's inside 

accept and love it 

if you can 

play your song from your heart, if you dare

do you dare?

a thousand things you might've done 

things right 

things wrong 

erase it all, 

here and gone, 

then and now 

swirling swirling 

breathe 

gasping for air 

recover now
