The Closing Eye

(الألبوم: Rome - 2020)

Like a dream that's come to life
In the wake of spider night
And my phone light flickers, ephemeral
Illuminates them like
A sign of change to come
Can I remove myself from
My winter skin is
Shed on the wind
Threads like silver scars

And I know that you've been hanging on
A thread that I've been letting go
And I know that you've been letting go
A thread that I've been hanging on

Until you go
Please don't let your love become
The closing eye on everyone
Until you go

And the willow pattern of
A cooling coffee cup
How the steam rose curling
Now it's forgotten
Its how we are

And the corners came alive
And at times you are still inside
You are watching from a web that you wove
From a tangle you tied

And I wrote you letters in my head
So many things I've never said
But words are only wind and yet
The ones that we forget to say
Are the ones that we regret
