Like everything in life
This body is subject to decay
Why do I ask 
Why I don't look the same way
I did at twenty two 
"It looks like the years have been hard on you"
And that's right, it's true
I was locked in a type of prison
Though I still shone through the prism 
Of perfect sunlight through the screen
That separated me from the dream 
I was intent on surviving 
Who do you think the powers are bribing 
To stay in that firm state 
That moves when the ground quake 
Can we make the earth a safe place to be born
Like shedding a skin we were made to unlearn
I swear our union is true
And it pours light from me and you
And from her
I don't hate what you were
I wish you the best
As if life was some kind of test
And I've got a roving eye
Picture myself with people before I die
Don't want a steady state 
Of 2.5 and a dinner plate
Though I love
All of the above
It's just the frame
Is not for my second name 
For now, anyway
I hope you understand what I say
Is no rebuttal of what you are
You are magnitude a star
And you are the king and queen 
Of your own patch of ground to dream 
I just wish you'd know
And understand why I let you go 
That it was no wont of desire
It was just you set my veins on fire
And I couldn't trust
This newfound birth of some kind of lust
That pulled my skin
Whenever I moved with him 
Into a room
Then the sound of doom
Drowned you out 
Do you think we could move beyond our self doubt
Into a place serene 
I'll kiss you on that second moonbeam
