the only one

maybe we were atomic neighbors

floating among the ethers

splitting, exploding, falling apart

to be a part of the heart of everything around us

everything that’s turned to dust

far from the startup of time, the construct

and sometimes i feel like time is running short

and that there are things too inevitable to ignore

everything is fleeting, i’m a well with the bottom leaking

i can’t grasp it or hold it

i can’t keep anything but you

would you lean on me if you needed to?

i can easily see i would lean on you

you’re the only one i know

we were talking last night

bloodshot through the blue light

how we’d throw our phones in the river and get to start over again

take up smoking in a desert town

change the scene, change my name, keep my feet on the ground

but i’m feeling like a wave again

surrounded by dry land

i’m feeling like a wave again but i was mistaken

i was mistaken of all we would take in

you could lean on me if you needed to

you’re the only one i know
