If you were a city
I'd drive through your streets
Looking for somewhere to sleep

People walk by
In their faces I see you
But your body is no longer here

I am within you
But I cannot touch you
I've missed you for thousands of years

I drive through the darkness
And it's cold as hell
But there's nowhere that I'd rather be

Because there's nothing quite like missing you

If you were a city
You'd be best represented
By the lights that shine overhead

They turn on and off
As I pass by each one
Somehow, you're still lighting my way

I pull off and park
Right where you meant me to
Some rich part where no one will care

I turn off the engine
And get in the back of
My fucking Honda sedan

But there's nowhere I'd rather be
Because there's nothing quite like missing you

I am within you
But we cannot touch

You are within me
But we cannot touch

I am within you
But we cannot touch

You are within me
But we cannot touch

Ad infinitum

I feel
A pull away from
From here
A pull away from here

Two years
Twenty years tops
Vomit
Vomit in the blood

But there is
Something stronger
Than fear
Surrendering to love

When I
Look quite closely
Into your eyes
I feel my inner strength

If there
Exists a person
Someone
To draw my soul in
It is you

"Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold"

Trapped again
Trapped
No friends
To help
Me out
Of myself

I can't sleep
The world's in front of me
I can't sleep
The world's in front of me

It's too far
Too far
Far
Far down
To see

I can't sleep
The world's in front of me
I can't sleep
The world's in front of me

I think I know
What to do
I think I know
What to do
I think I know
What to do

Writing on a brand new page
Smudged with water
Once straight lines all mixed and faded
Together

From the depths, no one can hear you
From your own cell, no one will try
Decrees of love and satisfaction
Will echo back from a fortress on high

Somewhere, somehow, still, someone is waiting
Drenched in water
Common sense and fits of longing
Bleed together

On the wall, the words are written:
"Run now while you still can"
Yet somewhere still a moth is burning
Ending up where it began

And I may see your ghost
But it is kind
And dishonest

Far away she can hear me
The constant beating of a heart
Footsteps each in the distance
And she can't tell the two apart

And I may see your ghost

I'm writing a painting
While lying in bed
I'll force a description
To stay in your head

Denial
Denial

Colors are blending
We bleed into white
The void above us
Is torn by light

Denial
Denial
Denial
Denial

You're with me wherever I go
I can never be alone
You're the only one I let in
I can smell you through my skin

I'm so far away from me (what I need)
A distant light from across the sea (what I need)
A familiar voice calling from the depths
I can barely hear my own footsteps

When I die blame it on the gin
Where I end and you begin
The thing that truly bothers me
Is who you are and I used to be

"Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other's gold"

Today I fell (You're with me wherever I go)
Only to drown (I can never be alone)
Have one more (You're the only one I let in)
The cause and cure (I can smell you through my skin)

You build me up (I'm so far away from me)
To tear me down (A distant light from across the sea)
You tear me down (A familiar voice calling from the depths)
To build me up (I can barely hear my own footsteps)

When I die blame it on the gin
Where I end and you begin

You're what I need (The thing that truly bothers me)
You're what I need (Is who you are and I used to be)

What I need (What I need)
What I need (What I need)
What I need (What I need)
What I need (What I need)

Thanks for showing me around last night
Hope you don't think I don't care
Because I do I just don't know if
I should feel this bad about you

After finishing your birthday drugs
Look at a yearbook unprepared
And betray yourself to sleep it off
Then come down to collect it

I think you're funny
I like your friends
I like the way they treat you
I've got some money
That we could spend
Not that you're like that

I'm falling in love again

Thanks for showing me around last night
Hope you don't think I don't care
Because I do, I just don't know if I
Should feel this bad about you

After finishing your birthday drugs
Look at a yearbook unprepared
And betray yourself to sleep it off
Then come down to collect it

Then come down to collect it
Then come down to collect it
Then come down to collect it
Then come down to collect it
Then come down to collect it

You
Your soul is knit to mine
I love you as myself
I've loved you as myself for years

Weeping whippoorwill
My your lake be still

You
You're grafted to my skin
If I were to lose you
Half of my own soul would rip away

I'd drive through the night
Until morning light
								 דויד
Courageous and mighty
Do not forget your strength
Your faith lies at the brink of your mind

Weeping whippoorwill
May your lake be still

I breathe by the grace of the Nazis
The sole few who spared the lives of my family
My blood courses with royalty
Here is where they sleep
Here is where they sleep

The sole time I missed you was in Majdanek
I winced hard and fought it
Haven't thought of you since
That night, no sleep, I heard the scratched up walls
Just have another drink you fucking slob
You write it in your songs
You put it in your songs

My granddad escaped under a horse-drawn cart
He was discovered by his new sweetheart
Somehow, they told me, he fed his family
My blood courses with royalty
I am better than me
I am better than me

My savta escaped the walls of Treblinka
She was discovered by a Nazi guard
He said "run now, before you are seen"
My blood courses with royalty
I am free to be
I am free to be

I don't think that I believe in any god
But seeing my dad's words parting the clouds
Brought on a new light

Baseless hope will set you free
Baseless hope will set you free
Baseless hope will set you free
Baseless hope will set you free
Baseless kindness will set you free
Baseless love will set you free

I aspire to be
I aspire to be

It's all over now
Nobody left to bother
You have them fooled
Now run to save face

Haunting my dreams
I think it is a good thing
Just hit the light
On your way out

Pictures of you
Pictures of both me and you
No matter what is next

I'm not alone

When the sun begins to set
You can feel the regret
Of all of the souls who have gone
As if they refuse to move on

I dream of becoming old
Filled with regret at my wake
Before I pinch myself
I'm already young and awake

I've seen your
I've seen your dreams

I've seen your
I've seen your dreams

I've seen your
I've seen your dreams

Don't leave them
Don't leave them be

"The other night dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I help you in my arms

When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried

You're are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear
How much I love you

So please don't take my sunshine away"

I want to live; where I go, you are; you are my fate.

Green forever, and I'll be with you; green forever, and I won't miss you.

From the depths, I call out to you.

I can almost hear you when the rain falls. Whispers of our conversations echo throughout time. They return with every rainfall.

	"There are good places where your mind can go, and there are parks where little gardens grow. There are people, and places, that will help you feel better.

	There's more than one way in which a heart can mend--and bravery can be the days
	when you leave your bed--and strength can be the times when you say what's in your head.

	If you feel scared to be alone, and like Hell is now your home, just give me your address, and I'll write you letters.

	If Hell is now your home, know that it is not."

Turn to me, I'll do my best to light the way.
Turn to me, as a leaf would toward the sun.

The ground is moving fast towards our shadows cast. We'll leave the sun behind. Whispers leave our lips, echoed off of cliffs; we'll start a landslide.

We are the wind.

Time has ceased to flow. We view all as whole. All is, and all has been.

We are unstuck.

There's no need for sex. There's no need for love. All are already connected.

We are as one. We will be as one.

Unless hindered from doing so, energy will always disperse. It cannot be created, or destroyed, it just simply exists. Ultimately, you and I are a part of the same mass. Death is not the end at all, we'll be together again.

Immerse me.

I like to view time as a whole, rather than a constant flow. We have already existed, we will always continue to live. From the perspective of the universe, all has always been one. We are cursed to live our lives with a human perspective of time.

Immerse me.

At the brink of eternity, nothing can disappear. The vision of your hope extends beyond my deepest fears. Death is not the final state of life, this is not the end. We've extended to the deepest reaches of the universe.

Immerse me in the allness of the universe.

I feel at peace to be a part of this silence, in a world that will not cease to speak. Here with you, I've found that when they get too loud, we'll drown them out without a sound.

You're at my side on a silent winter evening. There's nowhere that I would rather be. Though the memory has moved on, I imagine it's not gone. I can return through dokha.

So, I nod off in a hope to be with you, in a vision that I'm not sure is true. You're in my arms on New Year's, your visage is so clear, that your lips seem about to move.

Now, I've returned to a new kind of silence. One in wake of peaceful memories. In this silence, and through, I will remain true; I'll spread this light of love for you.

But I can't sit and ferment in this silence. I've justified as much as I could. Though you're deep within my chest, it may be for the best, if I let go. So, I'll let go.

It's all over now
Nobody left to bother
You have them fooled
Now run to save face

Haunting my dreams
I think it is a good thing
Just hit the light
On your way out

Pictures of you
Pictures of both me and you
No matter what is next

I'm not alone

"drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make
drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what i say and i'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head
people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still
drink up, baby, look at the stars, i'll kiss you again
between the bars where i'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air waiting to finally be caught
drink up one more time and i'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where i like you the best
and keep the things you forgot
the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still"
