lyrics

You perch on me
when we stop we breathe
we stare, get lost
yr gaze, yr soft

i hold onto this
eyes wide, fists clenched
outside let's not go
stare here, stay close

this cave we make
it's clear
it's safe
with you on up high
it's no thing that we hide

(i have been and empty shell
i fill myself with the things i
like i have not seen yr face in
a while blue's the place i hear when
i shut my eyes and try to find the present that i usually leave behind
i cannot help but to understand
yr reasoning behind i've not been
awake my body moves it takes in
food and drink it tries so hard
to look like everything is in its place
it reads at night when it lies down
to sleep i'm looking toward the end
of something that won't come i breathe
therefore i'm moving yet i feel like i have
been standing still for some time
i feel like laying down i soak up
i have been an empty shell
i fill myself with the things i
like i have not seen yr face in
a while blue's the place i feel when
i shut my eyes and try to find the present that i usually leave behind)
