lyrics

stuck in spiral
watch as the days dissolve
into a grainy nighttime,

but you'd wait a little longer
for the shadow of dark
to count every star,
every piece of your heart

he cast the cosmos onto your skin,
marked you with life
before you could begin

you'll be alright, you'll be okay
just know that much ain't here to stay

he left your throat raw
with the homesick
for a place you didn't
even know could exist

'cause you built him up
into someone he was not,
made a house from his words
and a home in his heart

you'll be alright, you'll be okay
just know that much ain't here to stay

and it's not the fact that you love him
it's a matter of your talks
ending in brittle phonetics

I stretched out sentences
for more than they were worth,
tried to coax a little meaning
into each little word

and I told him that I loved him
but the phrasing was blurred,
so you said it again but you
don't know if he heard

you'll be alright, you'll be okay
just know that much ain't here to stay

one day you'll wake up
and realize
you can't recall his steady gaze
or the gleam of his eye

because there's none of him here
in the tomes of his voice,
all his words have burned out
they ran their course

just gotta keep on living
then live a little more

you'll be alright, you'll be okay
just know that much ain't here to stay
we knew it from the start
