"Going home for the first time in weeks
isn't it strange when home seems like a foreign place
it's no wonder I feel empty
But everything feels so different in this light
the weight of the sky is not a burden
but a comfort"
You said to me in a letter
Leaving you for the first time in years
so far away
through all time you were with me
you gave me everything
and now I feel so different in this place
without you here and yet you're still my comfort
Well sweetie I will write to you every day
use all the ink in the pens and throw them away and
make you know you're different and special to me
like when we'd sing Pink Rabbits and 17
or when we'd sit in my room till long after dark
and listen to Matt sing that he should live in salt
or when we held each other close and we held each other tight
and I kissed you then, yeah I kissed you goodnight
or the times when we would play a thirteen-minute song and
sing something about running and running 'round the sun
it was a Universal feeling we shared each night
like a Blur moving fast or Explosions in the Sky
And to my ephemeral surprise
No one speaks so no one lies
And as I gaze upon the beautiful look in your eyes
Does anybody know the name of the thing keeping me alive?
I can hardly stand the silence
I'm falling through the sky like a failing pilot
The control lights flash and the windows fog
I come crashing down to my favorite song
and when I awake I realize that I'm wrong
I've never been one to pick a favorite song
so the tune in my head wasn't music at all
it was the colours in your voice keeping me strong
"Axiomatic secrets assumed and surmised
Our escape became circumvention designing
fabrications guaranteed not to betray us
So be it if they overlook our side
we're just protecting our hearts from their world
But the truth to me will always be that we remain inseparable"
