lyrics

you say: "don’t waste your life, make greatness!"
how come i don't ever see you make changes?

i'll never say the things i want to say to you
because i'm better than the damage i know it would do.

i wrote you a letter laying out my worldview
got no return address; i'd like to think you know-who.

an imperfect world don't hand you a breakthrough,
and this isn't perfect so i never sent it to you.

'cause i confused dreams with life;
my seams stretched as time was pressed beneath a knife-blade;
my medicine-sentence didn't escape my mind,
now it's essentially a cerebral fine-wine.

soulmates don't die so i won't apologize
or grieve loss of a person who is still alive
all because you came at just the right time;
to taste it is daring- it's dreamlike.

soulmates don't die; so i’ll pour the ripe wine
why grieve loss of a person who is still alive
all because you came at just the right time;
to taste it is daring- it's dreamlike.
to taste it is daring- it's dreamlike,
and to waste it is what waking feels like.

just like i want to
for the real you
long before lies do
i'll paint your sky light blue
i'm only 22- but i'll see your heart through
and pursue a new hue; try to rescue the real you.
