October sounds,
Fall inside of me like the rain

Drowning me in last year

And the feeling in that time

The sky is clouded, deep in grey

Past the mountains, 

That always pulled me in

The open air, goes on without an end

Like the deepest ocean

You and I, had almost been

Breathing in the feeling,

Find me while I'm sleeping

Floating to the ceiling

You fit me like a coffin

October sounds,

Sweep me off my feet

The funeral waves, roll like smoke

Consuming this room, burning to ash

Everything, I could never live without

So, carry off this summer

Like a ghostly pallbearer

I mourn every single thing 

And it's everything

That I wish I could change

Lost among the passing seasons

Buried underneath the silent stones

Lie the best of times we killed

Tearing apart, 

Every new one that we build

October sounds,

Run like rivers through these streets

Flooding minds with memories

Filling empty lakes,

In the season of a drought

These bridges still burn

Even underwater

Where I sleep deeply underneath

The perfection and trickery

Of how I wanted everything to be

If the poison apple is a dream

The wicked queen is reality

You're still gone, nothing has changed

But it won't ever be the same

Without you, everyday

Breathing in that feeling

Try to believe I'm not dreaming

Driving you home in the March evening

Through the roof of your orange car

The stars fill up the night sky

Like you filled mine

They fall now like sand

Through a different kind of glass

Clouding our closed eyes

Sliding down your cheek

Like a glowing tear drop

Slipping away like the words

I wished I had never said

Into the cracked cement

Where everything just disappears

But I still feel you there

I wake up on the floor

In a room that I don't know

I see your face everyday

Like a painting I can't forget

The sky is brushed in the deepest grey

And I'm wishing for an empty canvas

And a different kind of paint

A different kind of paint
