i am a lightbeam

(álbum: soph's throwaways - 2016)

I am eight of thousand atoms
I have tiny little fractions of
Galaxies inside of me
I am made of mathematics
Long equations and quadratics
Shape the world in front of me

Take away my skin and bones
Leave nothing else but my soul
Take away my skin and bones
Leave nothing else but my soul
I am a lightbeam
I am a lightbeam
I am a lightbeam

I want to go to every state
And I want to take you with me so
I can't look at you
We can't spray paint ugly words
I say "jump", you say "first"
I'll help you through, through

Take away my skin and bones
Leave nothing else but my soul
Take away my skin and bones
Leave nothing else but my soull
I am a lightbeam
I am a lightbeam
I am a lightbeam

Bits of paper held together [*turning page*]
I say "jump", you say "whenever"
Will it be, darling?
I'll pass the days I find away
To show you I don't have a face
Does it really matter?

Take away my skin and bones
Leave nothing else but my soul
Take away my skin and bones
Leave nothing else but my soull
I am a lightbeam
I am a lightbeam
I am a lightbeam

Every second, every minute
Hearts are beating, thoughts are tainted
Shades of reality
We make rules with nouns and letters
We build houses, dump your treasure
Over what?

Take away my skin and bones
Leave nothing else but my soull
I am a lightbeam
