Lyrics:
◉ ●⦿ ● ⦿● ◉
i know what the city lights
do to the night sky,
when no one’s looking
but i can’t decide...
‘cause though i crave the constellations,
the fog above my head, illuminated...
i dont know how to phrase it
it’s not a dream
and i want to see everything
and i want to breathe easily
and i want to let the night sky bleed
its blacks and blues down into me,
like a moon-bleached tapestry
and i want to see everything
and i want to breathe easily
and i want to let the night sky lean...
its dappled flank down upon me,
like a flawed philosophy
◉ ⦿● ⦿ ◉ ⦿ ●⦿ ◉
‘cause i’ve seen what the city lights
do to the night sky.
i keep an eye, out...
i can’t decide,
somehow.
‘cause though i crave the constellations
glass towers above my head, illuminated...
i don’t know how to phrase it
and though i crave the constellations
the rain, about my head, illuminated;
i’m not sure how to say it...
i don’t know how to phrase it...
it’s not a dream...
● ⦿ ◉ ⦿ ●
and i want to see everything
and i want to breathe easily
and i want to let the night sky bleed
its blacks and blues down into me,
like a moon-bleached tapestry
and i want to see everything
and i want to breathe easily
and i want to let the night sky lean,
its dappled flank down upon me...
like a flawed philosophy.
