Anomie

Duals/Duels

I am one from a trillion suns
I am one like you
Saw you from the view above
I gave you what I knew

You left your home in the garden
Where you left your head
In bloom and light and pointed pace
You buried all you’d said

What does it mean, what does it mean
That you’ve come to rescue me

I was a child when I was alive
Oh I am a child still
I am the grass beneath your feet
When you’re climbing up that hill

But you’ve got plans for just yourself
How I know that game
I wish everything I felt
Was matched by you the same

What does it mean, what does it mean
That you’ve come to rescue me

It’s been six long years since I had a sip
It’s been eight since I wrote this down
Late one night when you see that moon dip
You will know I was around
You will know I was around

All the Rest Have Thirty-One

I miss everything I couldn’t see
All that time I looked for you and me
We’re helpless on the shore, looking at the sea
What do you really want from me?
Well?

Stand next to the fire
Don’t look in my eyes
I was out there too
I saw how you’ve tried
Pieces of all you made me see
It all comes out the same anyway,
the same anyway

Do you want to? Do you want to?
I miss everything

Can you sleep with the lights on inside?
Can you sleep with the lights on tonight?
Can you ask out loud, can you ask out loud?

I miss everything I had
I miss everyone I was
I miss everything I knew
I miss everyone but you
I miss everyone.

Funny How?

We sleep for ages
We sleep in different rooms
Oh please erase this,
the sun is coming soon

But you’re right
it takes time
Oh you were right
it takes time

We wait in numbers
in legion on the ground
We wait forever
until you come around
But you’re right
it needs time
Oh you were right
it takes time

I wasn’t right, I spent my life
wanting to sing for you
Now we’re at the great divide
lost in the deepest pines
Oh what would you want me to
Oh what would you want me to?

The sound up the staircase
fools me every time
The changing colors are only in my mind
Now I’m gone from your sight
Now I go out every night
looking for your face
in this lonely place

I’ll stay for now, I’ll stay for you
oh what would you want me to
I’ll stay for now, I’ll stay for you
Oh what would you want me to
Oh what would you want me to

We wake from sleeping
We wake in different beds
I keep you with me
I keep you in my head
but you’re right
it takes time
Oh you were right
it takes
