The growth knows how to spell my name 
I’d decline if it was all the same 
And I could refuse the cup to drink 
But I didn’t have time to think
So I let them take me away
Because I had too much to say 
And I couldn’t get the words out 
It was as though it was someone else’s mouth
As it uttered itself from my lips 
I don’t know why everyone hates eclipse
For what it tried to be 
There is a frayed knot in history
That seems to repeat itself 
In trying to slowly melt 
The ice cap of true north
Some people feel that to abort
Their mission is the best plan 
But I don’t think I can 
As I’m called to a sea far away
And, God knows, I want to stay
But the movement comes to my door
And I can’t resist it anymore
As the man I love finds a wife
And I find a tarp worth of strife 
To keep me busy in the flow 
I don’t think the people know 
Exactly what they’re dealing with here
And the woman calls me “dear”
As she tries to reassure
Something that doubts its own pure
Unadulterated beauty
I felt it was my duty
To stare into the abyss
Because my first kiss
Was not with you 
I don’t know what to do 
As you jump leagues out of the sea
And turn to face me 
With those eyes
And an inadequate disguise 
I feel I must tip my hat 
To the camouflage that you’re at
But is it too long to say
That **whispers** “I still love you, okay”
