lyrics

self portrait in white
the night comes so quickly
the disinterested light
dull and muted

self portrait in white
melted fluid runs down
the street that we live on
your voice is sugar and two eyes that lead somewhere
pulsating colored universal
i’m out of sight

field soaked in white
the edge of true warmth
the mouth of a clearing
i am obscured

there is no me
the space between everything’s all that i see

overlook in all white
the morning’s birthed from night
the golden blinding emergence
glowing morning glory
glowing morning
day curls into itself

self portrait in white
bundled in draped clothing
forming shape and
composition
i am translucent

there is no me
the space between everything’s all that i see
