and when the sun went south, the lights bled in from out of sight
i held my breath so hopeful i could see my lungs ignite
so my eyes could illuminate this night with colours true as you
with all this i will find my niche, with all this i've imbued
countless times with this alone, i let it run free in and out
it filled me to the brim with shame, it filled me up with doubt
i felt so weak in this little shell my mother gave to me
so arduous and so constrained that only i could set it free
the ins and outs of my regrets have made me a stronger man
or a boy with hope strapped to his heart, a kid with a master plan
i've stopped timing my every single move scared of what was coming next
like my older friend with his safe sex, like you ever so perplexed
i sit here hoping you're still there, thinking the world of me
missing every single time we sat together knee to knee
my hands can only hold on to the things that i despise
wishing i could let myself go and rise up to the skies
