Expanse

Under the tired sky
In a middle space of mind
I'll let caution fly
All thoughts intertwined

Under such a haze
Everything seems clear
All eyes set ablaze 
All feeling right here

Between every twilight
In the space between each star
I'll hold all that is bright
All that comes from afar

Between every word
The world stands still
All sensation is blurred
Each breath such a thrill

Above every sunset 
Inside every mind
Is a freedom not found yet
Is a peace we can find

Above every new possibility 
Above every cloud in the sky
May we bathe in tranquility 
And learn how to fly

Miles

I'll steal sentences until I find
The words needed to clear my mind
Pour them out until I see
Someone who looks like me

Will there be a chance to fix it all
After the storm, after the fall
When the whole world is covered in rust
And every heart lies beneath the dust

Lie to me, just for awhile
Lest we count every mile
And every problem accumulates 
And we remember death awaits 

I'll watch my blood ebb and flow 
In the end, where else is there to go
In the beginning, where's it from
Somewhere delicate or somewhere numb 

What could it all possibly mean
All the things I've never seen
All the people I've never met
All the boundaries I never set

I'll steel myself until I find
A purpose I can get behind
A life unstained by memory 
A reason for being me
