Fractals

Are we just smaller versions of a bigger whole
Are you the rivers in your veins
Am I the flakes that become snow
And you might believe that everything is broken
Fragments of sentences we haven't spoken
But maybe

Are we just jagged lines across a buried seed
Are the shapes inside of sun disks
The same as the arms of trees
Been saying we're a shell of what we used to be
But maybe we're smaller
Are we just smaller

And I get lost in finding comfort this time
Fractals all around us
In hopes that I have found us
There's beauty in these broken designs
Now I know there is nothing to be fixed
Oh, can we exist unfinished

Are we just clouds up in the northern hemisphere
Taking up dreams that I've leaped for
But that you've always feared
And you'll get mad at the world
For spinning round and round
Looking for a forlorn safe and sound

And I get lost in finding comfort this time
Fractals all around us
In hopes that I have found us
There's beauty in these broken designs
Now I know there is nothing to be fixed

Oh I know if the miles get long
I'll still see you up the road
Even though this is all unknown
I'll keep carrying a little hope
That these lines stretch on and on and on

Are we just searching for a little highway map
Are the lines between us
Just a path to a vacant past
And you still make me think of what we used to be
But maybe we're smaller
Are we just smaller
