Endeavor to paint a picture
Of all the changing skies
I'll do my best to draw in starlight
So I can see it reflected in your eyes
As it all gets blinked away
I'll sigh and try again
Always trying to remember
What it was like back then
Absorbing all the ink
That leaks from my hand
It's all an endless cycle
Contracting just to expand
Each word is such a struggle
Slipping from my mind
The more I try to build them
The faster they unwind
There's a rhythm and rush now
Pulling at my skin
What am I doing here?
Wasting time again
How long can this go on?
Forever, and just today
It all fades in and out
Searching for something to say
Absorbing words to leak them
Living days to forget
Time marches on
And I haven't figured out the reason for it
Though I relearn it every day
It never sticks around
Though I find it often
There's nothing really to be found
Endeavoring to find a moment
Of surety beneath these skies
I'll breathe in starlight
And watch it reflect in your eyes
