Wither & Bloom

But I won't dwell inside the ends

And that's not what you would want, you would tell me find connections

To the world and to tell it my confessions

The hell that I invest in is a part of something bigger

Words that you would write, they would carve into the center

Right on target 'til they start to fill my heart up with the letters

Shadows have shadows and it's darker than remembered

When this story has an ending to the part I had together with my friend

Absence makes the heart grow fonder of the time before the absence

And the nights spent trying to imagine

When you played I was blinded by the magic you displayed

I tried to reenact it in a way

I need the dark today to see the stars decay

'Cause if I can fall asleep then I can dream we are awake

Another shot of Jameson and PBR to chase

Another conversation in a seedy bar to play, right?

Man, this side of me's the worst

When I'm terrified that all I'll leave's a dynasty of dirt

But you believed in me and I believed your words

So in turn, I believed in things when I would need the courage to move on

On and on and on and on it goes

When I'm nodding off an awful lot to songs that you had wrote

I want to honor all the art and progress that you showed

I miss my confidant and honest talks allotted on the phone

With you Mike - I wish that I could hug you again

It's getting harder to pretend and I can't undo what's been

Thanks for being someone I could come to, a friend

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams,

where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens.

And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me,

though I carried carats for everyone to see.

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies,

and all the lovers with no time for me,

and all of the mothers raise their babies

to stay away from me,
