Stay

Lie down

Save your breath

No lies now

Got no fiction left

The shadow is out

Between the trees

Rising from

All the dying leaves

Don’t be afraid

(But I can’t feel you here anymore)

Nothing real

(Falling into the vacuum of space)

Ever really

(And the tide’s going out from the shore)

Goes away

(And the wind’s coming off of the lake)

Don’t explain

(And the silence compresses the noise)

What can’t be seen

(And the pillow is down on the floor)

What you’re feeling

(And I’m trying to make out your voice)

Will always

(I don’t think I can push anymore)

Stay
