The Offing

It's cold and I can't see

It's dark but I will get there

I've seen a thousand deaths

The future laid right outside my door

And it's far

I know, I know, I know

And it's hard

I know, I know, I know

And it's far

I know, I know, I know

And it's hard

I know, I know, I know

Lying in bed

But cabin pressure haunts my sleep

That look within your eyes

Please say you only get that for me

And it's far

I know, I know, I know

And it's hard

I know, I know, I know

And it's far

I know, I know, I know

And it's hard

I know, I know, I know

Spring is coming

How is it still getting colder?

Periwinkles dying out

Following in circular,

parallel motions

It means something to me now

I cannot see my fingers

in front of me when

there is something in the way

Aren't you scared of being loved?

Unhinged, unmasked

I will not do that again

Undeserved praise

Wrapped up in little boxes

Something else has got to change

It's been too long to be so

overworked and tired

I feel I could go insane

Can you see that one

green light on the horizon?

Or was it never even there?

Calling me to come back

to a place where I would

end up in tears everyday

If you wanted

To come over

Go outside

And fall in love

But sometimes I see

The future

In slow motion

Eating all I hold dear

It's cold and I can't see

It's dark but I will get there
