about

This is the first song that I wrote on a piano. It took me a while to finish this song, because at the time the emotional weight of it was a bit too much to process. So by releasing this frail thing, I'm trying to exercise some sort of honesty, bravery even. And by doing so, I'm hoping to connect. Share pain. Share joy. Be human.

Hope you like it.

lyrics

I see a girl
Suspended in a frame
Too young to be old
No longer the same

Time it crawls
Fills a need
Like a snake in the grass
Lingering

You painted a room
Said your peace
My shadow was the color
Ill at ease

The city heaves
And it sighs
Like a passing train
The moon arrives

sky blue
ocean blue

With nothing too
Much to say
I always wanted a home
I was built that way

I couldn’t make
An image of you
So I took one instead
Out of the blue

I was anxious
Barely alive
Those maps of sorrow
Ocean tides

Nothing could’ve turned you
To face me one last time
Leaves in your hair
In cold daylight

sky blue
ocean blue

sky blue
ocean blue

sky blue
ocean blue
the blues of the heart
