Sweet Soft Sound

(album: Suicide And Sunshine - 2023)

Fire meets wax at the death of this candle
As smoke reaches out for the roof
My eyes adjust in the vacuum of life
As day turns to dark shade of blue

Laugh at the odds of being born at the same time
Let alone being here in my room
It's just like me to be here crunching numbers
When I could just be here with you

Wrapped in lengths of flowing white marble
It's hard to believe you are real
Tell me, how does it feel?
Tell me, how does it feel?

I see the meaning of life in your eyes
It's like swimming in the ocean at night
And when I'm with you, it's like I'm on fire
Nothing is real outside
Myself and your smile lines

Bring me down with sweet, soft sound
My name, the way it sparkles when it leaves your mouth
Fill my soul with you

One of these days, your shell will wilter
And your chocolate hair will turn white
I'll do my best to still be here with you
But to myself, I've been unkind

So while I'm still here, I need to tell you
That all that I want with my time
Is when you look back in your last moments
That you see a beautiful life

Left the weight of my life behind me
And all that lies ahead is now you
Are you coming too?
Tell me you're coming too

I see the meaning of life in your eyes
It's like swimming in the ocean at night
And when I'm with you, it's like I'm on fire
Nothing is real outside
Myself and your smile lines

Bring me down with sweet, soft sound
My name, the way it sparkles when it leaves your mouth
Fill my soul with you
