Name: Grace
Duration: P00H05M07S
Description: This is a very early song of mine. This song is about picturing a future with someone that you know won't exist. It's about seeing the end of a relationship before it happens, and resisting it, however futile. It's about how we can ignore warning signs.

about

This is a very early song of mine. This song is about picturing a future with someone that you know won't exist. It's about seeing the end of a relationship before it happens, and resisting it, however futile. It's about how we can ignore warning signs.

lyrics

After the crash I held my breath
Because I was afraid of what I'd say to you
I feel restless as our moments pass
Knowing these graces were never meant
I'll tell you I'm lost alone
As if these words were more than just oxygen
You'll forget something said
A dissonance when we lay in bed
Blank faces in pretended love
I don't want this to die, just to put my mind to sleep
I don't want this to die, but the unrest is killing me
Lost, in a tiger's den
You're my lioness
Moonlit, I saw you undress

We are made from instances
More than what we can understand
Am I apart or am I together?
Traces lines in your forever
And it's the tourniquet on your veins
It's the electric in my brain
It's the low hum I wandered in
It's the white-capped waves that drew me in close
Turned to teeth to swallow the ship whole
