Sight Seer
I wrote a letter today
And sent it with no lines
Impatiently, I will wait
For the rest of my time
Just like blood outside the vein
Or a bird with no sky
We work with what remains
Long after what remains goes by
I'm thinking blasphemous things
Butterfly flutters its wings
I'm singing no longer for fun
But as a form of protection
Just like feeling the embrace
Of no embrace at all
Limitless as space
Yet infinitely small
Waiting doesn't matter at all (at all)
When you're working on a way to remember
When you said (you said)
I'm no one to rely on
I kissed your lips from far away
And it opened up my eyes
As I learn to say your name
I forget how to say mine
Just like the mercy in your eyes
Loving what you most despise
Just like no one left to blame
I've worked hard for my shame
Waiting doesn't matter at all (at all)
When you're working on a way to remember
When you said (you said)
I'm no one to rely on
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon
Must be a sight
And sent it with no lines
Impatiently, I will wait
For the rest of my time
Just like blood outside the vein
Or a bird with no sky
We work with what remains
Long after what remains goes by
I'm thinking blasphemous things
Butterfly flutters its wings
I'm singing no longer for fun
But as a form of protection
Just like feeling the embrace
Of no embrace at all
Limitless as space
Yet infinitely small
Waiting doesn't matter at all (at all)
When you're working on a way to remember
When you said (you said)
I'm no one to rely on
I kissed your lips from far away
And it opened up my eyes
As I learn to say your name
I forget how to say mine
Just like the mercy in your eyes
Loving what you most despise
Just like no one left to blame
I've worked hard for my shame
Waiting doesn't matter at all (at all)
When you're working on a way to remember
When you said (you said)
I'm no one to rely on
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon is nearer
Must be a sight-seer
When the moon
Must be a sight
