Kissing Constellations

(album: Wanderlust - 2018)

We stand out of view, looking over the edge
Watching all the stars fall into the palms of your hands

Well the eve has come and we're looking on
For a place to watch the comets race
Through stained glass eyes and window panes
In an old oak house so far away

Did the roof give way?
I hear the bricks shatter in the waterway
The stars take shape
I feel them glow from a world away

Romance me into infinity
This skyline, it guides my epiphany
Come dot and cross the lines with me

And tell me
Why do we glow for you
When the children of light decide for us that there's no room?
Will we throw ourselves into this great unknown
Where does the wind blow
When the air is alive and has no altitude?
Can we breathe on our own
Or will we pass on the the great unknown?

Paint on the walls has peeled away
To reveal the vastness of space
Yet a light is seen in the night
Bright as magnesium burning away

As the walls give way
I see you coalesce in a galaxy
A shapeless place
Where I just don't feel
Feel the weight

Romance me into infinity
This skyline still guides my epiphany
Come dot and cross the lines with me

If your eyes catch the light just right
A million stars will cry and come alive tonight
Come alive tonight
In a trance of never ending dissonance
And if our minds don't dispel this narrative we write
Will they glow out our mouths from the inside?
Will we spend eternity swapping notes on destiny?

We stand out of view, looking over the edge
Watching all the stars fall into the palms of your hands

Tell me
Why do we glow for you
When the children of light decide for us that there's no room?
Will we throw ourselves into this great unknown
Where does the wind blow
When the air is alive and has no altitude?
Can we breathe on our own
Or will we pass on the the great unknown?

Did the roof give way?
I hear the bricks shatter in the waterway
The stars take shape
I feel them glow from a world away
