Distance

There's a sweet melody inside,
telling me to close my eyes and listen,
and my dreams have never been so dark -
you've been telling me to keep a distance.

There's a shadow where I walk,
moving close and telling me to listen,
but my mind is keeping me awake -
you've been telling me to keep a distance.

There's a new person in my life,
all the people tell me to forget you,
and I know I kept coming back,
but I think it's time to listen.

There's a sweet melody inside
and my love for you is growing weaker
and I know that I should listen -
you've been telling me to keep a distance.

Oh when I die,
Leave me beneath the boughs of the beech tree
Queen of the woodland she will keep me
Twisted branch and shaded leaf
Moss and ferns to break my bones free

birds feast on daybreak
worms; threads of song borne from dirt
salvaged as dusk wind

The solder was pointed the wrong way
falling scrap metal through the Scrapyard's chute
"Please, be loved," it said,
"this automaton has nothing left for itself,"
resonating equally 'warm'.

and I stare out of the window
as the sunlight hits the car
see the shadows on the mountains
now they're closer, now they're far

Love?

Love is Peaceful
Love is Kind
Love is Simple
Ease my Mind

Love is Pain
Love is Hurt
Love is Gain
Breaks my Worth

Love gives Comfort
Love gives Warmth
Love gives Motivation
I want More

Love gives Anger
Love gives Envy
Love gives Lies
Leaves me Torn

Do I want you?
Do I need you?

Do I deserve you?
Do you deserve me?

like raging inferno
my heart combusted
i felt pain; but mostly i felt alive

you have caused me trouble
but at the same time
you saved me too

and i guess that's how love works
felicity and misery
love and pain
—g.l
the consequences of loving you
