Ryan Macellaro Shutter
I heard your words to mess with fate tonight
I kept its time cause I’m not here to please myself
I kept my soil clean of tandem runs and armored verbs
Who escape your sight while you sleep
Prospects of images to foil rounds of memories
I’ve kept my mind made up your absence faints away
All these damaged pleas amidst the stringent beauty fly
Who all want to run away while you sleep
And I would whisper
And aren’t I getting a little old for this
Abandon my structure to the storm
And aren’t we getting a little used to this
This holding tight and standing firm
The North Shore reminds me of your face tonight
Surely we’ll meet when all enfolds
A place in the sand where I can still feel the warmth of the nights we used to keep
Holding confinements on the edge of space
By bonfires we sat about
More or less postponing our place
In the structure of grace I stood
And I would whisper to you
Would you keep me close at bay
Slowly reaching the light of day
Im always leaving but
I can hold you where I stand
How striking it is to recall that voice
I used to speak in parables to size you up
Your little big world how does it respond
How does it relate to me
Of a truth this is insanity
I knew id lose my mind
But duty calls the human heart back to the dust
The songs of ancient ships still always call my name
Sojourner escape my sight while I sleep
The shutter’s lies destroy your face
I know I’m leaving
Would you keep me close at bay
Slowly reaching the light of day
Im always leaving but
I can hold you where I stand
I whisper I know I am leaving
but vapours never seemed more important
and I know time is wasted
on too many actions
that in the end don’t justify any means at all
I hear the voice of one crying out tonight
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
The North Shore reminds me of your face tonight
Surely we’ll meet when all enfolds
A place in the sand where I can still feel the warmth of the nights we used to keep
Holding confinements on the edge of space
You said You placed eternity in our hearts
and I know it's there
I knew it all along
