She’s a mystery to me
And I long to let her go free
But every attempt I make
Is met with something she forsake
And I reach out across the sea
But I’m met with a knee
In the gut to wind
And let me know that I have sinned
As she announces her realm
And the ship at the helm
Is vacant and empty
It’s been this way since we were twenty
And I sought to find
Something I had left behind
In my teens
(Not just the man of my dreams)
But friendship too
And I felt the lack of you
In Dublin City Centre
Captain America’s but I could not enter
Because the gate was barred
And I felt times get hard
As I refused to cross the line
That I felt them define
And commerce was too coarse for me
But I obeyed willingly
The teachers, the guidance, the accounts and the way
But there were things I could not say
As I walked through my apartment
I heard a voice from your department
Saying; “why am I in so much pain”
That was just before the rain
Pelted on me
I ran from Jess and Hillary
As they left bottles on the floor
And became something that I abhor
They throw a party in the dorm
But they do not warn
Either I or Caroline
I walk in and it would have been fine
If I could’ve just locked my door
But I get dressed up and walk on the fifth floor
And have a chat with Colin too
Though he is different than what I’d want to
Embody as the excel
But he’s alright so I said “well”
It is an Irish greeting
You say when you are meeting
Someone you causally know
Then sanity let me go
In February of that year
I felt myself on the edge of a tear
As Snow Patrol belted a tune
But I could feel the split in the room
As I wrapped myself in a blanket
I did not forget to thank it
For its warm embrace
When everything seemed to deface
The old tome
And I just wished for home
But I could not go back
And everything I lack
Is muted in the undertone
I loved my Nokia phone
And I kept the messages I sent
Three hundred of them before I went
To America, to New York
And somehow there was a fork
In the road I chose to walk
I am not to be all talk
But something deeper than they see
I will walk out of history
And write the words that have called to me
Since the beginning of mystery
Decided it would dance with me
Now I am all beauty
And sparkling lights
And in my darkest nights
I could still find love
Just trust it’s there because above
Will never failed to sink
Into depths you do not think
Can ever be perforated
Depression is underrated
