'cause in this city's barren cold

i still remember the first fall of snow

and how it glistened as it fell

i remember it all too well

[speakalel]

we gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean

some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

you know i didn't want to have to haunt you

but what a ghostly scene

you wear the same jewels that i gave you

as you bury me

[speakalel]

a slow pull, a seismic drift…leaning over the edge of a continent

it's so hard to come back, you hang on until it drags you under

[speakalel]

like a comet pulled from orbit as it passed a sun

like a ship blown from its mooring, by a wind off the sea

i have been changed for good

[speakalel]

it’s from an aleut word

“alyeska” it means “that which the sea breaks against”

and i love that

[speakalel]

“i’m so glad you’re my partner in crime”

“as long as you’re my partner in time”

[speakalel]

GOD LOVES YOU… but not enough to save you

[speakalel]

was she ever found?

[speakalel]

rachel amber… she looks so hopeful and pretty

[speakalel]

i am not a violent dog

i don’t know why i bite…

[speakalel]

it's impossible to acclimate

every time we talk, we understate

how i know we both could die, we both could die

but you told me that you felt the same

when i told you how i needed space

but i think it was a lie, it was a lie

[speakalel]

hs 2015

[speakalel]

dances until dawn and walks from the ghosts, into the light.

[speakalel]

i've been the archer… i've been the prey

[speakalel]

will you cry if i let go?

damage, lined up

[speakalel]

a greater woman has faith

but even statues crumble if they're made to wait

i'm so afraid i sealed my fate

no sign of soulmates

[speakalel]

and i hear your ship is comin' in

your tears a sea for me to swim

and i hear a storm is comin' in

my dear, is it all we've ever been?
