HAMARTIA/SHAMPOO

(hamartia)
another day full of excuses
make one more
make me forget
trying to find my place in line
still ain't found it yet
and everyone is out of step

(shampoo)
don't look around
don't stay
don't ask permission
chase that perfect day
don't try to save me
don't lose
don't give it a name
you caught my eye
please don't move
casting shadows ain't free
leaving a ghost will cost you
everything
weather currents in stride
thoughts align
time and tide abide
a custom warning
for you and you alone
a tailored threat
for you to call your own
I am malfunctioning
a million miles from home
I am malfunctioning
it could be lovely here
enjoy the view
A Pale and Lovely Place
just me and you
comes the crashing refrain
all the darkenss couldn't kill
remains
every liberty you take
will return
be mindful of the songs you make
