Next of Kin 04:56
Walk by the river Turns into England and Somebody’s there Somebody wants me Wants me like a fire Wants a house But I’m safe here These walls are obsidian He can send the curse but It won’t go in I remain in my town Above ground for now Where there is no next-of-kin And no one knows how cruel I’ve been To try to keep the friend in him around There’s never been a point-of-view That’s ended in an absolute 'Cept what he thought I owed I never had But I still felt bad disappointing Galahad I’ve hunted constellations too Felt impossibly away from my home Sure of salvation arriving As the lover of my soul But the world keeps on rolling forward Gray to pink to green to gold I could lose the whole of my life In that dust bowl But here there is no next-of-kin And no one knows how cruel I’ve been To try to keep the friend in him around How could it end but not begin I hear him say how cruel I’ve been T’ve gone and never made a sound Well, I almost drowned And my cold heart had to lead me out I never claimed to’ve had the grail And in my heart now there’s a stone I come here hoping I could sing it And let it go

At our graduation I see it in my dreams you're sitting several rows ahead but you never turn to look at me It felt important to say it so I slipped a note into your sleeve it said it wasn't just you and it also wasn't just me You are We are I am The ocean of a heart, the expanse All the times I didn't understand You are We are I am The non-local distortion we all got it bad I do what I can to keep it from harming Apologies are controversial but I know now not all love is loving well it wasn't just me but I could have kept it to myself You are We are I am The ocean of a heart, the expanse All the times I didn't understand You are We are I am

If you're lonely you might as well be clever find your way through mazes by laying down a thread If you're hungry you might as well keep smiling maybe can find someone wants to share their bread 'Cause everything is always or else it would be never love weaves into the spaces holds it all together The stars seed us with the questions we'll live our lives to answer to find out who we are My dad taught me constellations I'm not likely to forget them though I travel far 'Cause everything is always or else it would be never love weaves into the spaces holds it all together And I really hope we make it There's just so much we haven't learned yet spinning on this planet looking at the stars 'Cause everything is always or else it would be never love weaves into the spaces holds it all together
