Summa Sun (prod. rx!)

source

walk by the water 
on a cold april day
the fate of two drifters 
never stay in one place

i stare into your hazel galaxies
incandescent, burning holes through the walls that i've built 
but regardless my heart is safe with you

do you ever think about how much can change in a year 
from fog in the distance beyond the horizon
always assumed our paths weren't intertwined 
until the day that we met

now i’ve got our entire lives planned out
‘could be us against the universe
don’t remind me that you’ve gotta take the time to find yourself

call me in college 
in between your classes
no matter the distance
and the five hour difference 

i don't want to promise 
but this time i can afford it
i will keep you in mind
for the rest of my life

but i just wanna be safe by your side for all time
and so i stall until the sun's setting on us
i hope you don't mind
that i stumble on sentiments
i know you don't think like this
but i'm glad you understand anyway

we'll spend our twenties on planes and liminal spaces 
'till we find our new homes in far better places 
and i'll wonder if this really was for the best
then i'll picture you laughing in my head 

and living your happiest life 
wish i could be there with you
just to talk about nonsense the way that we used to
if you need me to say that i'm on your way
then we'll reunite on the brightest of days

call me in college 
in between your classes
no matter the distance
and the five hour difference 

i don't want to promise 
but this time i can afford it
i will keep you in mind
for the rest of my life

i'll keep singing 
hoping my words somehow reach you when you're oceans away 
imagining you whisper my name but it comes out too loud
because you can't hold it in when you think of us

(i’ll hold out for rain just to feel like i’m closer to you)

oh anastasia, i'll try to leave unsaid the things you meant to me
but you reassure that i can tell you what's on my mind honestly 
so while you're awake living your life i'll be dreaming our memories 
thank you for making them with me

thank you for making them with me 

can we meet again 
can we meet again 
can we meet again somewhere far from here

can we meet again 
can we meet again 
tell me, tell me

us against the universe

anastasia

is it real, is it fake?
is it all just by mistake
she believed long ago
that she would find it

i’m a wreck, and she’s a mess
but when i’m with her all the rest
fades away, dissipates
into the gray

think before i take a step
i’m afraid what’s coming next
do i move, would i regret
yesterday

she played a song 
it sounded good
was from her mom's piano book
all along
misunderstood
at a glance 
was all it took

she was mine 
i was hers
by the ivories we stood 
and poured our hearts out
what do i do now? 

i grew up
a house of five 
she grew up an only child
quiet place
grown up faces everywhere

we don’t believe in fairy tales
pretty sure we know what’s real
haven’t seen it for ourselves
it’s a truth she knows too well

not a damsel in distress
not a prince who needs his character development, oh

i played a song
from the heart
on my brother's old guitar 
out of tune
how to start
when i know we’ll drift apart

separate
never stays
something getting in the way
still, i poured my heart out
so, what do i do now

bridge
you could be the poet if you let me be your muse
know it’s probably stupid, but what do i have to lose?
so pick a sheet of paper and your favorite color pen
and we'll write our story 
again

harmonize here
she played a song 
it sounded good
was from her mom's piano book
i was wrong
maybe we could
if a glance 
was all it took

not the girl of my dreams
i'm probably not the boy she needs 
all i know is
it was real to me

pianobook ~ it was real to me

Obsessed with your picture 
Focus, wooden figure
I know you’ve got me in your grasp
Faith’s just a flicker
You wish it would linger
I’m stuck on a feeling I can’t get past

Your body, your pose
Switch out all my clothes 
You don’t understand I won’t give up
And everything’s borrowed
But it’s you I follow
Oh how did you end as my model

Model — I can’t get over you

One day it’ll come, but for now I’m just sculpting 
My image around everything that I love and 
No one sees me like you, but it’s only a
Matter of minutes until something breaks again

Your body, your pose
Switch out all my clothes 
You don’t understand I won’t give up
And everything’s borrowed
But it’s you I follow
Oh how did you end as my model

Model — I can’t get over you

You figured it out around nineteen
I’ve spent this year doubting what to be
We got in a fight last night 
Time and time again, I’m hardly content

Model — I can’t get over you

Your body, your pose
Switch out all my clothes 
You’re past indecision and it shows
And everything’s borrowed
But it’s you I follow
Oh how did you end as my model

Model

it's been so long i have decided to just start putting almost finished wips on the main account

this is apart of an album (gaia theory) i'm working on that's gonna accompany a web novel
hopefully someone looks forward to that ;)

vacant spaces fill your home
another minute and it's sold
buried a photograph beneath the garden 

the light diminishes its glow
like a slowing metronome
silence fills the parkside where it started

are you almost home up north?
was it all you were waiting for?

do you think that it's enough to keep 
the emptiness at bay?
god only knows, but you looked happier that day

that day,
you read me like a scarlet letter
i called to tell you things are better now
but it went to voicemail

so i
i left a word of reassurance
i hope it all comes true for you somehow
i don’t need the details

walked around the brooklyn bridge
it reminds me of the ledge
the only constant is the river flowing

i want to see your summer green
without the seasons in between 
september came and went without a warning

what's it like an hour behind?
is your sky the same as mine?

if i pray to ancient messengers to send it through the sun
maybe one day, you'll learn the lyrics to this song

and you'll sing along
when you're hurting and you can't explain it
you hide behind the rocks along the shore
the tears start flowing 

i wish
that i could help you love yourself
but i've seen that film a thousand times before
i know the ending

do they know what i know about you?
everything you aspire to be
well, now is the perfect time to
chase those opportunities
will you dream for me?

'cause last night
i dropped you off at your apartment
i saw you smile, first time in a while
what's so funny?

cut to sunrise
reality sets in the morning
we haven't shared a word since mid-july
by the riverside

but it's fine
cause, centuries have nothing on us
i'm always here whenever it goes wrong
don't you worry

at all
like spires in the city skyline
our tether stands the test of time, my dear
there is no hurry


shoutout to
han, alex holly, marianna, kup, luoe, coleski, j.solo, haz, hai, pikoyin, and my mom for bg vox

lyrics:

flowers on my neck

shoutout to the people who are rolling with me
shoutout to the women, you know they og
flowers on my neck, i couldn’t feel i couldn’t breathe
it don’t even matter what they say about me 
wish i could be better but im running with me
mommy used to tell gotta keep it low-key
now im in the corner, couldn’t feel my mouth breathe
wish im dying sooner, they don’t know about me

do you feel me, are you with me? (yeah, yeah)
said do you feel me are you with me? (yeah, yeah)
said do you feel me are you with me? (yeah, yeah)
said do you feel me are you with me? (yeah, yeah)
  	
i wanna take it back	 
to when i saw everything
and i been getting bad 
to the point i don’t have dreams
and when i thought of that
things could have been any worse
i know what heavens worth
i see roses in my shirt 

i still love the way it moves
and the details it loses
when i walked out
and proved that i was more than 
i was more than

do you feel me, are you with me? (yeah, yeah)
said do you feel me are you with me? (yeah, yeah)
said do you feel me are you with me? (yeah, yeah)
said do you feel me are you with me? (yeah, yeah)

god i missed the train 
too fast in my brain
i was stressin babe
couldn’t find a way
baby what a day
i don’t know what to say
finding all the things 
just to make you stay 
baby what a shame
i dont got time to spend
drinks spilling on my shoes
couldn’t fit in the frame
im annoying babe
i forgot his name
didn’t know what to bring
but baby tell me everything

(everything)

(everything is) bad for me 
(everything is) bad for you 
i was selling dreams
and i know you do it too
bad for me 
bad for you
i am not the same 
we just gotta go and move
