I want to be the ripple of a Great Lake
Touch all shores before I dissipate
Be the echo of an encompassing cave
Covering rock walls with reverberant sound waves
Ignite me with lighting, rightly make me feel vain
Stab me in the bank, my brittle heart condensates
Dampen all the passion so we misbehave
Repeat the loop and stub out the flame

The stars are dimming
and we feel the change
So burn it all down
Without a name

Drip me down the verticality
I want to see the history bleed
Tear it to tatters, legacy
The worst of me, through tapestries
Closing down all the gates you keep
Then eat the key to be at peace

I guess if don’t trust myself
How could you ever trust me

I want to be the ripple of a Great Lake
Touch all shores before I dissipate
Be the echo of an encompassing cave
Covering rock walls with reverberant sound waves
Galaxies turn, the gravity unconstrained
Stuck in motion with all of your decisions made
Invisible, in the dark, as if a grave
Clawing your way out through the wooden grain

Maybe the earth will provide some light today
A leaking sense of matter down spillways and drains

Can you hear me now?
Can you see the shroud?
Can you feel my wake?
Now that I’m out of the shade
Can you smell the roses?
Wake up and revel in the rain
I know your space is safe
But can you taste my pain?

Will I ever be the
Marvelous version of me
Will I ever be the
Starlight in the Skyline, freed
