In the soft light of the evening I’ll imagine the smell of the sea In the gentle sigh of a breeze I’ll remember to breathe again By the dancing roots of a tree I’ll change my way of thinking In between the footsteps of strangers I’ll remember to be who I am In the midst of a clear night I’ll rub my hands against fire to feed the hungry thing inside of me and settle my aching chest

There are days when you come to me four in the morning or three in the afternoon Like an animal you are clawed to me holding on to ribcage and intestines There are days when you suffocate me drowning me in chaos and uncontrollability there are hours I spend crying there are hours I spend dying all because of your taste But you won’t defeat me, no you won’t defeat me I am not you I’ll never be you There are days when you glue me to my bed arms and legs tightly wrapped and panic painted on my chest there are days when you leave me alone it seems but when I think I’m unrestrained, you show me that I’m not But you won’t define me, no you won’t define me I am not you I'll never be you You won’t defeat me, you won’t define me I’m not you I’ll never be you

Lover of mine you wear your worry on your frown you hide the tussle in your head but you can’t hide the struggle unfolding in your eyes Lover of mine you tell me ”you’ll be just fine” but I know you all too well to notify the shift in your voice If only you would give me some weight of your stones the ones hunched between your shoulder blades right through your bones I’m sorry If I’m hurting your pride but please let me Lover of mine don’t be this stubborn you know I don’t mind I’d give my left arm away to carry you out of this pitch black hole If only you would give me the weight of your stones the ones hunched between your shoulder blades right through your bones I’m sorry if I’m hurting your pride but please let me

You’re staring out of this window while I am staring at you and you smile cause you know that I’m drawn to the arch on your nose Intertwined and tangled in knots I feel the warmth of your skin it’s like we’re sealed up in an envelope becoming what we once used to fear If this is what it’s like to exist then I don’t want to leave if this is what it’s like to breathe then I don’t want to hold my breath again Fragments of you, fragments of me absorbing gently and I’m aiming my arrows to your armor while you’re building a fire in me If this is what it’s like to exist then I don’t want to leave if this is what it’s like to breathe then I don’t want to hold my breath again We follow each others lead and leave all our words behind teeth we make a collection of thoughts and I can’t resist counting them all We follow each others lead and leave all our words behind teeth We make a collection of kisses and I can’t resist counting them all If this is what it’s like to exist then I never want to leave If this is what it’s like to love then hold me close a little longer

Be Still 03:55
Ease your mind on your pillow There’s no rain on the front door tonight Rest your hands on this bed there’s no storm at all in sight Nothing, oh, nothing There’s nothing fear and nothing to fight be still, my dear, be still Joy is a flowing river and now it’s climbing on your spine quietly and gently Forget what they said about you and learn to forgive yourself Forgive, forget Nothing, oh, nothing There’s nothing fear and nothing to fight be still, my dear, be still
