*Star Trails*

I don't like who I am anymore
you said "we fight too much" and I can't bear the silence
taking over me, the exit looks clear
it doesn't mean I can reach it from this deep inside my head
(the defiant act of leaving)
We forget, the nights we spent
chasing down the star trails on our skins
You built a wall, you ran away
and I'm left here
Chasing down the star trails over you
And I can't seem to find out how to stop my brain
from fantasizing a way that I could hold you from this far away
I wish these words would mean something for you (anything for you)
We forgot, the nights we spent
Chasing down the star trails on our skins
you built a wall, you ran away
you can't even see my face
chasing down the star trails over
The planet we created
Our guardian cats, our moving home
I wish that I could hate your guts
I wish I never wrote this song
I won't forget the nights we spent
Standing closer to the edge
The finger trails, the drawings you left
still shine on me
so I'll stay awake
Chasing down the star trails over me

Sundress

I still see you every time that I close my eyes
In the sundress that you didn’t want to buy
‘cause you don’t know how to take care of yourself
And I’m lost here with no way out
Of these endless thoughts that are tied around my throat
And I can’t seem to let go
Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I got stuck looking for the light stored inside
Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I never thought we’d make it this far
We talked about this in my car
It felt so hollow
You said “why do you never look that sad”
I wished I could cry like you
And be able to love you
Without blaming you for leaving me
I am a car crash about to blow
But I know
Loss is a collaborative work
Between the ones who leave and the ones who stay
Was it me who made you go away?
I can’t stand the thought of you not missing me
Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I got stuck looking for the light stored inside
Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I never thought we’d make it this far
Was it worth it all?
This stands as a monument for all we’ve been
The lighthouse that I’ve always wanted to be
Our fears bloomed on you dress
And outshone the skyline
Can you believe these birds fly
Thanks to our hands?
I always thought they’d never go
But I guess we’ll never know

Astronauts

Like an astronaut
A thousand miles under the sea
How can I reach you?
When you just need to be alone
Looking for a light to crash with
Driving with my eyes wide shut
Why can’t I see you?
Why can’t I feel when you’re close?
All these times you could’ve faded away…
I saw your heart iridescent tilt
Under the weight of your own wings
But you’re strong enough
You’ll wake up somewhere new
Who forgot to punch holes in my shoebox?
I though I saw Tom drifting on my way out
the ghost under my bed got lonely
I offered him to switch spots just for once
Summer always brings the worst in us
I could’ve sworn this song was meant for you
The words got stuck, pierced in my skin
Trying not to say what I should’ve told
Someone said the sky changes even if you don’t
The more you try to run away
The faster you’ll fall
I saw my heart iridescent tilt
Under the weight of what I should’ve been
Am I strong enough to wake up somewhere new?
I saw us fall in a silence bed
I am glad at least you got away
is there a place where I
Could go to start something new
All these times I though we’d fade away but I still feel it…

I spent the night
In your front porch
Expecting you to notice me
‘cause I can never be happy with what I’ve got
I’m glad you fixed the leaks on the rooftop
I guess the stairs are much more quiet now
And I’m sure you sleep better alone
I still touch twice in our spot by the train rails
This city’s name has changed a few times
for each day I’ve missed you
Was this meant to end from the start?
Did I chose the wrong shirt that night?
Will I ever learn to sleep alone?
And at last
Was it worth the pain for all the
Things that I’ll never let go
I just hope that you don’t have to leave for too long
What parts of this were real?
I hoped for an apocalypse, the earth breaking down
Tearing apart
To help the trees grow back up
When they feel they can
Once you’ve hit bottom rock
You have to trust your chest will hold the weight
It’s a decision to make
You just take a stance
Bet on yourself for once
They haunt me at night
The mug that you gave me unpainted
The pictures we took with the sky
Just tell me that you won’t leave for too long
Because I don’t wanna go
I don’t think this is the end
Breaking down the walls
This time I won’t forget
After all
I’d rather burn down
That never getting too close to the sun
Remember to leave the blinds open
So you can see the light

Ardiendo entre la tempestad
sus alas de cera saben que toca volver a caer
Quizás nunca aprendió a llorar
El Sol se evapora en millones de hilos de un color
Su reflejo se despertó en el lado contrario
Sientes que algo puede cambiar esta vez
El ciego es libre
cuando vuelve a saltar
aunque nunca llegará al final
El ciego es libre
nunca cambiará
Sus ojos por llegar al final
Abre su pecho y ve las flores que plantó
Brillan en sus dedos las heridas
del naufragio
Controla el impulso de
Atrapar el resplandor
Sus pasos traen la lluvia y él
Ya dormirá mañana
El ciego es libre
cuando vuelve a saltar
aunque nunca llegará al final
El ciego es libre
nunca cambiará
Sus ojos por llegar al final
Las olas cantarán
“el camino nunca lleva al final”
El cristal se destruyó
Encontrar los pedazos o volver
Cuando no sientas nada

Where were you
The night you thought you’d miss it all?
I felt so weak, so detached
Watching from afar, about to give up
I’ve been trying not to face that I’m lost, but I’m lost
Daylight broke
for once silence didn’t scare that much
And I know you’ve missed me
I’ve let darkness define me for far too long
But I had to break these bones to grow
To know if I’m real
I’ll count the steps back home
‘cause I’ve been trying not to face that I’m lost
But I’m lost
To know if all of this is real
I’ll count the steps back home
‘cause I’ve been trying not to face that I’m lost
But I’m lost
And when the sky opens up
I will see myself clearly… for once
I won´t be afraid of you all leaving me
All the love lost was worth
like all the times we fell apart
I’ll leave the lighthouse
You can find me in the light from now on
