on abandoned apartment steps
envelopes that know no rest
writing, hoping for the best
ignore that feeling in your chest
the leaves in the cracks of the sidewalk
they know better they know when to not talk
they grow and then they stop
roots safe beneath that piece of rock
and we try to stop thinking about the times
when there was light
when there was light
looking at underwater seascapes with burning eyes
don't seem quite right
to you it might
the plants in our windowsill
sunbeams and chlorophyll
watching as the cars rush past
the world behind that piece of glass
and we try to stop thinking about the times
when there was light
when there was light
looking at underwater seascapes with burning eyes
don't seem quite right
to you it might
i don't know how far i can walk
down this avenue
the concrete is too hot and it's like
i never knew you
now the sky looks back behind those bright eyes
and the fish don't want to fly
but she hopes she might
