lyrics

Light remains,
So much brighter when it fades,
And unlike what they say,
Nothing stays the same.

I carved your name,
Just beside the felt-tip flames,
On my high school pencil case,
When we slept among the stains,
Retinol and razor blades,
Convinced that I was going to die,
The first time that I came.

Eyes ablaze,
With your arms around my waist,
And I knew it from your face,
That things were going to change.

Wide awake,
Feeling something close to hate,
Scrolling through the private page,
Where the kids you said were gay,
Often go to masturbate.
And how long can you tell yourself
That this is just a phase?

We are the curators,
And the keepers of our lives.
Watched a starling’s soft decline,
Amidst the shepherd’s lucky sky,
Like the emptiness you find,
When the chemicals subside,
And I’m confessing my desires,
Misdemeanours, and my crimes.
The voices on the radio
Continue through the night.
