There's a voice that won't use words
& I guess I've got a lot to learn
Apologize for all the things I should've said
I was sure that you'd have known
& kept them to myself
Watched the world fall from your eyes,
Replaced by fear or longing, sometimes both
Time to time, I wonder if I'll get it back,
In the pain of waiting years,
I move against the tide
All those stupid half-made plans I had,
They never seem to work out right
A million useless songs
Give voice to what went wrong
& I don't wanna hide,
I guess just not be found, at least for now
The sun goes down hazy on a slate-gray night
And charcoal clouds move to block the moon
The last star in our sky
Illuminates our eyes
& serves as proof of life,
I think, at least for now
released September 12, 2022
