Fractals

are we just smaller versions of a bigger whole?
are you the rivers in your veins?
am I the flakes that become snow?
you might believe that everything is broken
fragments of sentences we haven’t spoken, but maybe…
are we just jagged lines across a buried seed?
are the shapes inside of sun disks
the same as the arms of trees?
been saying we’re a shell of what we used to be
or maybe we’re smaller
are we just smaller?
I get lost in finding comfort this time
fractals all around us in hopes that I have found us
there’s beauty in these broken designs
now i know there’s nothing to be fixed
can we exist unfinished?
are we just clouds in the northern hemisphere?
taking up dreams I’ve leaped for, but that you’ve always feared?
you’ll get mad at the world for spinning round and round
looking for a forlorn safe and sound
I get lost in finding comfort this time
fractals all around us in hopes that I have found us
there’s beauty in these broken designs
now i know there’s nothing to be fixed
oh I know if the miles get long
I’ll still see you up the road
even though this is all unknown
I’ll keep carrying a little hope
that these lines will stretch on and on and on…
are we just searching for a highway map?
are the lines between us just a path to a vacant past?
but you still make me think of what we used to be
so maybe we’re smaller
are we just smaller?

Constantine

oh, it's different now than I remember
from all the colors of September
we'd fall into that same honest day
lately, I bite more than I can swallow
and I've sealed these senses in a bottle
then I wish we could go back that way
hang on, darling
these memories like mending a broken room
in our hands but still out of touch
think I've forgotten how to dream without you a part of me
my sweet Constantine
it ain't a secret anymore
since you walked through those doors
you know I struggle with being myself
but maybe this is all that matters
all the spots and slips and splatters
from you to me to somebody else
hang on, darling
these memories like painting an empty room
in our hands but still out of touch
thought I'd forgotten how to dream without you a part of me
my sweet Constantine
and I wonder now instead
how you live inside my head
once a figure, now a shadow on the bed
hang on, darling
these memories, oh they fill up an empty room
in our hands but still out of touch
I haven't forgotten how to dream without you a part of me
my sweet Constantine

Always Home

didn't think it'd go this fast
goodbye to this house we thought would always last
and this is where Dad's garden grows
summer haze, my reading place
and late night tiptoes
and I know the memories are with me
even when you move to a town that is new
guess I tend to hold on too strong
but you're always home
you're always home to me
up those gray-stained wooden stairs
me and Jess would play pretend time-traveling
company around the table
the seat by the window
is where I learned piano
and I'm scared that things change too quickly
bedtime tales from Mom sing loud in my heart
and I know I'm not alone
you're always home
you're always home to me
so we'll make room for something new
though I'm not little anymore
I'll always need you
and I know the memories are with me
even when I've grown into a place of my own
please remember I'll love you forever
you're always home
you're always home to me
