There See him riding as the wind There There There It begins as it ends, with her standing Watching boys become men As they dream of the worlds they'll make together Building castles in the air Convinced that they won't leave them there Here See what I brought you The heads of your enemies Good, just like I taught you Now come let us dream of the worlds we'll break together Teach them what it means to be alone Alone Mmm Mmmm Mmmhmm Ohhh whispers All these years Caught in your atmosphere It appears that it ends here All these years Caught in your atmosphere It's ironic how this ends, the same way it begins, with her standing Watching boys become men, how I wish we could've been The bridge is burning No time to say goodbye Leave us all behind Oh Ohhh Ohh Ohh
2.	the joy of a firepit 05:00	lyrics	buy track
Smoke in the room and my lungs are filled with the scent of you And the way you romance me, like a snake, you enchant me With the thrill of you With the thrill of you Smoke in the room, and I can't quite see but I'm charmed by you And the way you evade me, so familiar, you invade me With the thrill of you With the thrill of you I can feel you move And I'm thrilled by you Until I fold You win again I fold You always win, we knew you'd win Smoke in the room and my lungs are filled with the scent of you And the way you romance me, like a snake, you enchant me With the thrill of you With the thrill of you, oh I can feel you move And I'm thrilled by you Until I fold You win again I fold You always win, we knew you'd win I fold You win again I fold You always win, we knew you'd win Smoke in the room And my lungs are filled with the scent of you

I, you, we, us For a moment, it was trust I just wanted one day I could spend with baby You Carry me away, you carry me away I get a little carried away When it comes to you Will you carry me away Now there's nothing left to say As I'm watching summer fade I got a little carried away Baby, you carry me away

about

When two opposing perspectives meet, one inevitable outcome is conflict. It's only natural if both sides collide completely confident in who they are and what they stand for, certain that what they stand for is right.

But, in my experience, another outcome can be love. If I am open to accepting that there are all kinds of truths in this world, each one different from the other, than filling my eyes up with something completely foreign to myself and my own thoughts can become addicting and insatiable.

However, attraction, curiosity, even open conversation, isn't always enough to overcome fundamental differences. Understanding might be gained, but the dissonance remains.

And, in the end, it's better to part ways.

I did my best to capture how it feels to forever wonder what might have been. To me, it is not the sort of sadness that is heavy to carry, burdensome to live with and difficult to move on from... it's just a steady and subtle current of what if, my constant companion through the ebbs and flows of life, grieving what was lost in inches.

The sun always sets and, no matter how wonderful it was, summer - like dreams - always ends.
