Sometimes I visit the beach in winter just to remind myself that it’s still there.
I walk out on the rocks as if to dance atop the water
As the frigid, fresh, salty air reddens my cheeks.
As the sun sets I take comfort in knowing her beauty remains, even though it is not beach weather,
And how in her off-season, there are still a few there to admire her in the silence and stillness of colder times.

Maybe I’m the one who can teach you
Maybe I’m the one who can make you change your mind
Maybe I’m the one who can teach you
At least I have to try
Please understand
I am not demanding
Please understand
I am only giving
Please understand
I just want you near me
I don’t understand
Why can’t we just be
I do not need permission to feel
I do not need permission to be
‘Cause I already am
And that which fills my flesh
That which fills my flesh with nebulas and laughter
Fills my flesh with nebulas and laughter is the point
The whole point
Maybe you’re the one who can teach me
Maybe you’re the one who can make me see the signs
Maybe you’re the one who can teach me
God, I hope you’ll try
Please understand
I am not demanding
Please understand
I am not taking
Please understand
I am not asking
Please understand
I am just waiting

You bare the weight of the curtain crushed beneath its folds
You deny your agony just to keep it closed
But your drama mask is paper
It’s full of rips and tears
Kept mending it for decades
It’s on its last repairs
And oh how we can change over time
And oh how we don’t change over time
But what’s unknown consumes you
Be it serene or dark
No, you prefer to suffer
Beneath your grand arc
But your drama mask is paper
It’s full of rips and tears
Kept mending it for decades
It’s on its last repairs
And oh how we can change over time
And oh how we don’t change over time
Here we are standing side by side
Once again I find myself in this mess
Have I even left those days long ago
When you held my hand
And kissed my cheek
Let my fingers speak
But your drama mask is paper
It’s starting to show tears
Keep mending it for fear now
You’re gonna be left bare
And oh how we can change over time
And oh how we don’t change

Oh when you kiss me my whole world changes in hue
The sky is no longer blue
It is ruby sunsets all day
And all night how my skin longs for your touch
My fingers reach out grasping at strands
That should be lying next to mine
Oh how I could spend my whole life sitting with you
Under our favorite tree
With a ukulele strumming our songs
Singing and laughing or just laying in the shade
Our time cannot be wasted if we’re finally feeling something real
Royal reptile
Things just make sense in our world
Royal reptile
Things feel so good in our own world
And when our eyes are locked and you begin to shake
The universe is spinning around us in our place under the stars
For hours and hours and hours that are never long enough
Melt into me I need you closer than allowed by our atoms
Royal reptile
Things just make sense in our world
Royal Reptile
Things feel so good in our own world
And if tomorrow is eclipsed like the blood moon
Just know that it is fleeting
You are etched inside my soul behind my ear
And when the brightness has returned to the night sky
I’ll be there with my arms around you
Holding you so tight to keep you warm.
To keep you warm

The air that night was made of lightning in the smoky twilight
I was absorbing the energy through osmosis
My feet moved with purpose
My actions impulsive
But I do not regret
I do not regret
Do not regret, do not regret, do not regret
Do not regret
The sky divided in two hues
The bottom orange the top blue
And though the moon was not full
It reminded me of you
And all I remember are the stars and the night skies
And the icy blue of your eyes
It’s the icy blue of your eyes
I could not speak ill of you if I tried
If I cared to try
I could not speak ill of you
If I cared to try. If I dared to try
I’m a masochist for your affection
Observing you eases the pain
Brings a smile to my face
All those smiles on my face as I lay in the lemon juice.
My thick skin and my open wounds, laying in the lemon juice, the lemon juice
The sting reminds me of the scratches that you gave me all those nights under glitter skies
The stars remind me of your eyes locked on mine full of affection and desire
That first night by the fire when your
Whole body melted into me
You were bashful at my gaze and I sang to you
And you kissed me to shut me up
And you kissed me to shut me up
And you kissed me to shut me up
Fill my cup, fill my cup overflowing with strength
Strength and emotion
You spoke of such devotion and I’m left a better person for it all
I can’t fall I can’t fall
I can’t fall I can’t fall I can’t fall
I can’t fall I just burn I just burn full of love love love
I just burn full of love love love
I could not speak ill of you if I tried
If I cared to try
You broke my heart, but I’m fine
I’m fine
Deep down inside I am fine
Deep down inside I am fine
That night I sat upon a child’s swing
And swayed to the soundtrack of us
It left something to be desired as the energy calmed
Light-polluted
The night was light polluted, so I could not see you
You were not here
The swing was not the same swing
My legs were not around you
My lips were not pressed against your skin
But still there was pretty water
And colorful skies
I danced alone
I danced alone
I danced alone, but a little restored
With a slice of my heart reserved for you.
