i stand before this trail and I feel I've done all of this before;
life has brought me here but my eyes can still see your silhouette's lure
twisting through my axons to the terminals where dreams meet reality.
If I had just encapsulated your heart back in our summer's fate
in a box with wheels to drag you here, here in my distant state.
But you keep me further than the stars yet close against your skin.
In this war of heart against my head there's no victory within.
The displacement of your beauty in my mind
is enough to fill the trenches of these valleys that I wind.
But my words fall incoherently upon your eyes
as you read unwritten letters from my character in disguise.
You tease me with your small talk
and seize me as I make my journey home.
My entire life I've had the choice
to listen in to your still soft voice,
but I gave it all up just so I could
flood my ears with traffic noise.
I want to make your senses soar with all of my incessant pouring
into your nerves. I'll see that you will get what you deserve.
This is not the man that played you like a percussive drum;
This is not the one who left your body cold and numb.
I'm chasing the sun and seeking light.
But we'll never coexist in the heart
cus he's the one you kissed. these scars
will never mend, my long-lost friend
until the end.
So I'll take the road less travelled on;
set my eyes on the light at the break of dawn.
Your name will never touch these lips
so don't search for the postscript.
