Sea of Souls

[It's fine going through the day but then at nighttime,
Knowing I have to wake up and do it all over again,
Just makes me really sad and want to go home and
I do not have a good time.]

Corners of the library, tucked in the fourth floor the window
Taking in the silence, listen to the wind blow
The longer I am here, the less I feel I am alive
I've hurt through every mile, all five hundred eighty-five

Cross the sea of souls tonight
Spectral figures in the night
Save our tiny souls tonight
Spectral fingers around your eyes

I'm forgetting what it means
Time was never made for me
Carry me when my eyes are dull
I trust you, do you trust me?
[It would be fun to do all this nonsense with you
I hope-I hope you feel that, like I hope-
I hope it does feel real. Y'know?]

Should we meet again or should I ask for your number?
Would you reach back out to me before I get pulled under?
So sensible and quiet, I'm as transient as a spirit
I just wrote a poem and you will never hear it

Staring out the window I am fogging up the glass
Working up the nerves in me and thinking how to ask
I wonder if they wonder what I'm like by myself
So lost in my mind I feel like I'm someone else

Cross the sea of souls tonight
Spectral figures in the night
Save our tiny souls tonight [uh... yeah]
Spectral fingers around your eyes
[As hard is this is and as hard as it hurts and everything,
I-I like keep thinking about what it would be like
If you were here]

I drift along the sidewalk, I'm seen but never heard
Limply shifting pace because our dinner's been deferred
I mumble like a dead tree who's stripped of all his leaves
The shivers rack my body in the late night Autumn breeze

I'm just a little overcast
Time has been moving too fast
I'm not here, don't make me sure
You look at me and you see me

Take my body and string it up
Take my mind and bleed it dry
Take my body and string it up (Carry me)
Take my mind and make it yours (I trust you)

Take my body and string it up (I've been so cold to you)
Take my mind and bleed it dry (why do you trust me?)
Take my body and string it up (I've been so cold to you)
Take my mind and make it yours (Why do you trust me?)
Take my body (I've been so cold to you)
And string it up (The sea of souls)
Take my mind (Why do you trust me?)
And bleed it dry (The sea of souls)
Take my soul (I've been so cold to you)
And hold it close (The sea of souls)
Take my heartbeat (Why do you trust me?)
And carry me (The sea of souls)

[I hope you've had a good day and if it wasn't so great,
Or even if it was just kinda there,
I hope there were some wonderful parts of it
Or at least some comforting or peaceful parts.]
