Pride and Glory

Every time I swell with even a little pride
I feel a little sad too
Because when I think about it
There's no land I can really call home

We All Have Our Strengths

I wish you could see the world the way I see it
I wish I could face the world the way you fight it

Lucky 7s

You treat each day as if it's worthless
Just another day
Oblivious that tomorrow could be the day that changes everything
Even if it isn't, just the chance that it might makes it worth far more than nothing

Perfect Strangers

I saw your face in a stranger today
I haven't thought of you for so long
But in an instant it all came flooding back
And I thought maybe you don't look like that anymore
It's been so long that you'd be more of a stranger than this one

Myrtle Beach

I wonder why you go to him
Time and time again in cover of darkness
Hiding your beauty under veil from prying neighbour eyes
Afraid of being caught
Clinging to something that lets you feel some semblance of comfort
Afraid of truly pursuing happiness

Message In A Bottle

I'm not sure if I don't love you anymore. I don't think about you. You don't haunt my dreams and my waking thoughts like you used to. Life feels like it's taken on an almost greyscale. I wake up, I shower and brush my teeth, I go to work. Every day is the same. I stopped having dreams altogether. For months it was the same, I didn't even know I'd fallen into a monotony. They say if you do something to change your vision, your perception, your mind grows accustomed to it. If you wear wear splotchy glasses, eventually they will seem clear to you. That's how I felt. Until I saw you again last night. It's like all the lights in the room dimmed and the colours on your dress became super saturated. You looked so... Alive. And I had to remind myself that I didn't love you anymore. I had to remind my palms to stop sweating, my heart to stop beating so fast. My breath to catch.

I'm not sure if I don't love you anymore, and I'm not sure if I want to anyways.
