Shelby Sifers From My Cumulous Clouds
i dream so loudly,i'm afraid you'll hear
you're always in them,
my thoughts are clear
until i wake up,
they get mixed around
my words feel sideways
my eyes fall to the ground
they're coming down
i would have lived a lifetime
if i died right now
i'd be staring at you
from my cumulus clouds
in the backyard, we were everything
sailors
twenty years later, nothing has changed
just sitting here
broken sticks and an empty dress up case
i would have lived a lifetime
if i died right now
i'd be staring at you
from my cumulus clouds
you cried inside your bed
where i played this song
though the chords were sloppy
and the melody was entirely wrong
and i kissed your eyelids
or at least where i thought that they should be
you were close to me
and i can't breathe
i can't breathe
