Like Weather

Pieces of the future lie like weather on your face, sometimes I think of how it was before

Sometimes I'm overtaken by the wave that brings the change, that flavor of the mouth against the shore

It stretches my skin when I try to predict everything

I try to see the nighttime from the day

We've all taken measures to protect what we prefer and hoarded those we've loved along the way

So, I went to sleep in hopes I'd wake up and be strong, behind my lids would change what needed change

It stretches my skin when I try to make you everything

I try to squeeze the nighttime from the day
