First set of lyrics ever, tho I know it's not great
It’s on the tip of my tongue
Just an arms length away
The same as it was last year
When I crossed a whole ocean
To try to feel the intangible
The highs never reach my heart
The strings though they pull
Ring out like a choir
A moment of beauty
And then there’s only quiet
There’s no dark clouds
No jarring thunder
It’s just quiet
Oh so quiet
All the fucking time
I once found myself inspired
Sure in the moments of beauty
Positive they held the answer
Broken each time they slipped, true
But certain I’d find what I longed for
No longer do I hold such fantasies
I am not certain
I can’t know if I will find a lasting beauty
But god almighty
I truly hope I do
It still feels so near
As if I already have everything
Everything I should need
So why does it sit on the tip of my tongue?
Is this a mirage I'll never get to reach?
One day I might find it
So I just keep looking
Keep reaching out blindly
Hunting for a morsel of beauty
While the quiet slowly kills me
I’m still alive
I still have a voice
When there’s no choir
And I’m engulfed in silence
I must remember to sing
I must…
