The Book of World Glow
The Book of Returning
I:1
None of this should be true
It can’t be there is no sense
But i open up and feel you
The memories come flooding in
You breath and talk and smile
You move around and i still remember you smell
I:2
It’s doesn’t matter how longs it’s been
Your love is a part of me
Everything I go through
I’m always looking up to you
Remembering where to go
The only way we ever go
I:3
I have all this shame mumma
Of the way I was when I was Working it out
I’ve got pain mumma
Wishing you were around to see me come out
And now I’m coming in
Into something I’ve always had my doubts
letting you into the places I blocked out
That time has never taken the sharpness down
Until now
I:4
Am I really not alone?
Are you there?
I can’t get it through my head
But when I let you in
My heart just lets it out
And the pain it turns
To how it felt when
you were around
I:5
And then somehow
I can stay in this place
With you around
I:6
Am I only now just working out
Home has been here all along
And those times I couldn’t understand
When it felt like someone had back
And no matter what came at me
I always came back
I:7
And what can you do now
Wherever you are
There’s a part of me that knew
Nothing could snuff you out
And that anywhere you could be
you would find your way back out
And over to me
So that I can be they way we
It should have played out
I:8
I don’t want to lie to me
But how else does it make sense
They way it changes me
When I open up and let it out
I:9
Into the memories
Of climbing trees
And trying to freak you out
Of laughing and crying
I:10
I’m always wondering if you are proud
But it may just be you’re part of the reason why
I’m alright
I’m alright
The Book of Reflection
II:1
If I see me walking down the road I’ll check me out
I might be in my way But I’m not afraid to pout
I dont try right now but
Fuck off I’m window shopping on my own reflection
II:2
And I ain’t even a gold digger
II:3
I walking on the pavement when
I happen to catch my eye
Across there’s a
Reflection of my pride
II:4
All I see is
I can describe it
All I feel is
And can’t hide it
Listen baby
Cuz I can look me in the eye

And the time is now
III:7

The Book of Departures
IV:1
I can’t get my head around
How I’ve only got one life
And now I’m living it without you
What am I supposed to do
Now life isn’t with you
IV:2
I thought you just didnt understand
I had made up my mind
Knew what I wanted and that’s what I had
Even if it didnt feel right
I didnt know
IV:3
I just want to be the first one baby
I used to think it would last forever
I just want to be the first one out
I remember when this all just started
I remember there was nothing
IV:4
Never want to live a war zone baby
Never needed love
until right now
Cuz there’s a reason that you left me maybe
There was nothin left. nothing left inside.
IV:5
Some are lovers and so was I
Some aren’t loving. got no love in sight
IV:6
I remember when you left baby
Not a tear. Not a distant cry.
You Never had to destroy me later.
I was done for
Your love was a lie.
