What I’m listening to...


Hands trembling, shadows falling
Whisper in the void
Is it calling?
Can't see the sun
Can't feel the rain

Buried under the weight of my name
Every breath feels stolen, feels the same
Tell me, am I too far?
God, I'm breaking
God I'm aching
Save me from myself
I'm drowning
I'm screaming
Save me from this hell
My heart's bleeding
Still believing
I'm crying out
Crying out
Save me from myself

Night swallows the light
I'm alone when the mirror cracks
But it's my throne
Reflections of a life I can't reclaim
These chains are heavy, my soul is tired
My faith flickers but it's not expired
Tell me, are you still there?
 

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms and state lines
The distance from A to where you'd B
It's only finger lengths that I see

I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases
Of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
 


Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'm here tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
 

I see my vision burn
I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here
Don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah
Or kiss your lips again?
Woah, so I never want to leave you
And the memories of us to see I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
