look past the distance
walking past the memories in my head
what used to be
can’t be forgotten
drive past the ocean
a million miles away from home
catch a glimpse of the burning lighthouse
whatever kept me there
swim through this sickness
can’t dream through these years
forever I look at the lost ships
run far from this escape
run far from the beating hour
carry me through this weakness
words lost in a million photographs
a hundred days when we were young
a hundred days in silent memory
broken bridges can’t keep us apart
at 3 o’clock in the morning
we discover what we’re made of
when the birds spin out of control
drift away from the sickness inside
back a million miles ago
saturate my reflection
saturate my only choice
reach for you in the blinding light
all the dreams you can’t face alive
walk down these streets
press my hands through your skin
all the days beating down on me
