Just Want To Know If You're Alright

(앨범: La Vita Nuova - 2020)

I just want to know that you're alright
You're no longer coming through
Can you please send me a sign
I live alone and very quiet
I want nothing more of you
But just to know that you're alright

I will not implore you
But I will worry for you
You always bore a shade of gloom
Your fragile confidence
Kinetic hauntedness
Rising in my senses with a heady bloom

To me you will never belong
I'm a universe away
And I am purging you with song
When the signal was still strong
Sorrow never held me sway
But now it's very nearly gone

I can't keep clawing at you
I can't keep gnawing at you
Seeding misery and blight
You hang around like myrrh
But for what it's worth
How I long to see you walking in the light

I'm appealing to the sages
Clawing at these desperate pages

Just want to know if you're okay
I am never making contact
But you were on my mind today
Can I let go of your face
I will put it to the test
And lock the photographs away

All you sunlit children
I leave you to Heaven
It's okay that you're not mine
I can live with lack
There's no going back
And you know me and you know that I will be alright

I'm appealing to the sages
Clawing at these desperate pages
