lyrics

Verse 1
This give to you of finitude
A temporal pursuit, condemned to choose
Murals of the bruise-imbued
Lifetimes of you unmet, the proof
What's cut; what's left behind
That makes aspirations and actions rhyme
Carvings, beautiful scars and aches
So when I die, my epitaph should say:
Here lies Rob or his cremains
He loved dusk and blustery autumn days
The squeals of laughter when his nephews played
With the vacuum cleaner or the finger paints
It's moments; don't hope; you must commit
When the universe sends loose ends that fit
Shooting stars are a harbinger; make a wish
I don’t deserve this person but there she is

Chorus:
You know I wanna love
But there is just so much
That I can give, for us to live
Put your hand here, and feel my pulse
From the farthest star
Straight into my heart
Where you begin is where I end
Let's start again, and never stop

Verse 2:
Hey there nice to see ya
Heartbeat onomatopoeia
Boom bop, how it greets ya
Merging lines on EKGs and
My glass house is fully owned
I'm self-aware but still catching stones
It's been two years so tell me what I missed
Since I came up for air not long ago
I hope our beats are synched in Hertz
With the pulse I feel in the universe
And you hold my hand when the end is near
Out of love and awe, not out of fear
Cause I need more friends and not more enemies
As I already have an arch enemy within me
What's meant to protect me is literally killing me
It's you and me 'til the end, relentlessly

Chorus:
You know I wanna love
But there is just so much
That I can give, for us to live
Put your hand here, and feel my pulse
From the farthest star
Straight into my heart
Where you begin is where I end
Let's start again, and never stop

Verse 3:
Two roads, they diverged
In a wood, and I
Ignored both
And blazed though the vines
Left brain is on lock
But right’s got the music
So when the beat drops
It cannot refuse it
There's no need to ask it
My love has accepted it’s part of the package
Home is her presence, and there is a balance
Our talents get tenants, but tenants, not talents
Always adapting
Heart is in fractions but moored and inspired
Part is extracted then forged in the fire
Sharpened, not hardened like swords from the iron
And carbon; now starting the course going higher

Chorus:
You know I wanna love
But there is just so much
That I can give, for us to live
Put your hand here, and feel my pulse
From the farthest star
Straight into my heart
Where you begin is where I end
Let's start again, and never stop

Never stop...
