Hey I just called you up to say
I've been stuck here everyday
I can't be where I have been
I can see how I can't live
And I know you see it too
So that's why I'm calling you
Just to say that I'm a friend
Hit me back up when you can

Hey it's me, just wanna say
I'm also scared and so afraid
Of the world and all its change
It's okay to feel that way
And like you I couldn't find
How the time keeps slipping by
I would die to make some plans
Hit me back up when you can

Hi again, it's getting late
Guess it's just another day
I'll forget when I awake
My heart is heavy with your weight
There's no mask I wouldn't wear
To breathe you in, I'd gasp for air
But not yet, I understand
Hit me back up when you can

Well I don't wanna know now
What I didn't know then
But when you dig a brand new hole
There's all the space to fill within
And I don't wanna wake up
And I don't wanna break down
I wanna hold you, wanna know
That my friend is still around

So I look down at the ground
And I look up into the sky
And though I know you had to go
And though I know that it was time
I could know everything
I could intellectualize
But those words are only words
And they melt away like ice

And I don't wanna relate
Never done this before
A weight I'm carrying forever
Anchored down in shallow shore
And now I look for a sign
A little desperate I realize
I need to know you made it home
Cause mine is emptier tonight

This isn't happening
Furious rage for a spurious fate
What's something I can change?
Crying for days while I sleep them away
I'm bad at grief…

There's a piece of me in Brooklyn
Though my home remains upstate
A copy of my heart and kindness
Look into his eyes, you'll find it
There's a piece of me in Brooklyn

There's a piece of me in LA
Learning who it is she'll be
And just how I'm a part of more
From all the pieces in their place before
There's a piece of me in LA

If you look at your love
Look at your life
Always start behind
Relive the world inside

Look at your love
To yourself be kind
If you're looking at life
Look at mine

I lost my friend
She was the only one I had
I can't pretend this room gets any warmer

So what now then?
These nights are so much longer
I needed her
'cause another makes us stronger

I found a friend
Someone who really needed it
What she has seen
Can it take on a new meaning?

Sleep in peace, my friend
Where it's warm inside
Oh you'll be safe the rest of your life

Sleep in peace, my friend
While the days go by
I promise I'll be here at your side

Sleep in peace, my friend
You can close your eyes
You'll feel this love the rest of your life

Well you and I live in a deck of cards
We're dealt around a hand of life
That shuffles who we are
We play endless games
Dealt out endless ways
Pair me up with all the other hearts

The rules say that you can't remember them
The cat says with her eyes she
Understands her life has been
Part of endless games
Beautiful and strange
I can feel our lives entangling

We were with them all last time
We move as a group
No one's ever gone for good
I need that to be understood
Our world is only one of many planes

This life is just a frame inside a reel
And never-ending moving pictures
Cast and scored reveal
All the endless ways
To project our frames
Of familiar faces with new names

Next time around
Maybe I'm your brother
Next time around
Maybe we're each other
It won't make a difference to me
All of us are only truly energy

Try to keep an eye out for me
There's no ending to this story

I can't keep my words from firing
Another social siren called on me
And now you too will see

How I can't look you in the eye
Until I try then think too hard about
How we both see my doubt

Try? I swear to God I'm trying
Surrounded by reminders every day
The Post-Its I've betrayed

I could finally start on time
But I would rather breathe in my own lies
Than see myself comply

It's been a long time since I looked inside and took a reading
It's been a long time since I put some polish on
New chemicals are needed
Serotonin still depleted
And though I sound defeated
Without knowing why
Oh I embrace that I...

Oh the shape that you can see
Just another side of me

Hello
Well if you wanna follow me here
You're the one I choose
You make me new, dear

I know
Maybe I'm on another plane
But still our shadows look the same
And I will lean in

Let go
You told me hold your pride and slowly
I'm erasing the lines that shade me lonely

In time
When I unpack who I have been
Retrace the creases on my skin
I'll say that was me then

As a sheet I learned to fold
As a box I learned to hold another
Piece that's on its way
Now as a paper boat I float
As a crane I'll hold a stone
And wear my age in faded lines

The point of our lives that we decide
To point out our lies that we can find
At points on our lines where we divide
We go full circle
