Light Boy - Creature Comfort

You stand so close to me

So close that I can’t breathe

And when I try to speak

My lips stick to my teeth

And your face is part from now

There is of all no doubt

And I write since I can’t speak

Just let my lips be ink

Ellipses fill the air

From how we stop and stare

You make the time stand still

Control is at our will

I’ll see it in the news

I’ll watch it on the screen

These thoughts inside my head

Are nothing but a dream

The silver lining in your eyes

Is nothing more than a disguise

I guess I’m really not surprised

You still appear to be

The child weak at the knees

Learning about the world

And self-identity

And when the seasons change

Let someone warm your bones

When winter gets its way

Reside inside your home

Never forget to dance

Don’t be afraid to sing

Well I’m breaking many hearts

Just so you won’t break me

Now find it in the books

I’ll see it in the clouds

Whenever you’re in doubt

Just spell everything out

I’m counting feelings, counting shame

I’m weighing options, weighing blame

I guess we’re really just the same
