Exit Wound

So it seems I was waiting for nothing 
When you closed that door 
On all the dreams 
I had for us 
Lost upon the shore 

Really thought that we could be something
Really thought that you’d be the one
So blinded by the idea of you
Looking back, was all in my mind 

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were, here with me in the light 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re, leading different lives 

Today I caught myself dreaming 
Wondering what we could’ve become  
Seems everything I thought of us 
All up and gone

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were, here with me in the light 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re, leading different lives 

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were here with me in the light
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re leading different lives 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re leading seperate lives

Song meaning: I wrote decay as a way of saying out loud how lonely I was when experiencing grief. When I lost my friend to suicide, one of the first thoughts was how it could be her - she was so adored and yet must’ve felt so unwanted.

lyrics
VERSE 1
Tiring
Tell me where I’m meant to go All your leaves will ever grow I’ve burnt them all outside Finding
Better ways to let it go Caught you feeling ever low Tell me I’m alright
PRE 1
Showed me you were hurting Slipped through a crowd Said you were a burden
Are you happy now ?
CHORUS 1
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ? I’ve cried
Clouds will open up For you love
I’m coming down
VERSE 2
I’m with you
Sacrifice decaying breath
For what might be a lasting test Your life’s worth it all
PRE 2
Showed me you were hurting Slipped through a crowd Said you were a burden
Are you happy now ?
CHORUS 2
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ?
I’ve cried
Though I’m sure
You know that your adored Why’d you go do that for ? What were you hoping for ? Called you friend Wondering till the end
Were you hiding then ?
I’ve cried
Clouds will open up
For you love
I’m coming down

Song meaning: This song is about internal and external doubts and how they can strain a relationship. It emphasizes the importance of confronting and exposing these ""bugs"" to allow love to truly flourish.

Lyrics
Honey I know they’ve been inside your mind all the negative bugs
Darling look how they crawl, spewing bad advice
Arms are a-bind nikes glued to the floor
Dancing to love songs we barely know
Go on, tell me what they’ve said
There’s only three more weeks of summer Don’t be spending it with him
I’m worried, I’m worried while the sunlight’s peeking through
All I know is I met you smiling I’ve been thinking of the day everyday that goes by no lie
Step by step I’ll be with you darling every 365 days and one day they’ll know, they’ll know
All the bugs in town you know have been nibbling at our homes
They’ve done wrong before, and this time for sure
Living up under earths alibi shine a light on them they turn into mimes
I promise you I swear they’ve been buzzing in your ear
There’s only three more weeks of summer want to spend it running wild
No worries, no worries
Now the moonlights peeking through
All I know is I met you smiling I’ve been thinking of the day everyday that goes by no lie
Step by step I’ll be with you darling every 365 days
And one day they’ll know, they’ll know

Not lost and found
Not gone not bound
A slightly smile, an happy fight

Not dark and bright
Not smart not wise
A thought a sight
An apple bite

Not soft nor loud
Not shy not proud
A gentle touch, a quiet night

Not fast nor slow
Not high not low
A spark, a glow, a candlelight

On this lonely, lonely road
We drift so high and go slow
On this softly, softly night
We drift so bright and go so quiet

Not near not far
Not land not star
A whispered word, a distant light

Not harsh not kind
Not clear not blind
A dream, a mind, a fleeting sight

On this lonely, lonely road
We drift so high and go slow
On this softly, softly night
We drift so bright and go so quiet

Not just one bite, not day not night
A mirror's gaze, a quiet fright
Not crown nor thorn, not joy not morn
A secret path, a rose unsworn

Not wake not sleep, not shallow not deep
A fading trail, a leap so in time
Not old nor new, not false not true
A tale untold, a view so bright

On this lonely, lonely road
We drift so high and go slow
On this softly, softly night
We drift so bright and go so quiet

Not lost and found
Not dark and bright
A thought a sight
An apple bite

I've been crying.
Time's been drying my tears.
It's been an all-nighter
.....again-
talking to myself,
.....walking home slowly
..........in the pouring rain.
Love and laughter
have hidden themselves
.....from me.
I am a disaster
.....in the making.
Please don't stare
at the evidence of
.....my heart breaking.

I am so fearful.
I am fearful of the future.
I am afraid to lay down.
I might drown in your arms
.....again.
..........l will try
to be more bi than gay.
We have to have options-
ways to live another day.
There are no rules.
All the rules were written
to confuse the fools.
Oh! I've been crying.
.....Crying.

CRYING

[I want to do more than
.....survive.
I really want to love.
.....I really want to feel alive.
I'm just saying.
Yeah! Yeah!
I just keeping on praying.]

Oh! There are too few good people in this broken world.
Too few people left
.....to mend all the damage.
Too few left to prevent
the relentless march of
.....crime.
There is little time left
for the good to come good
.....anymore.
There is little time left
for the good to come good
.....anymore.

Some people
reach the point of
never being able to go back.
They lose track.
They lose track when they start
.....repeating old habits,
..........old ways-
ways of indulging old days.
LISTEN TO ME.
LISTEN TO ME.
Some people
reach the point of
never being able to go back.
They lose track.
They lose track when they start
.....repeating old habits,
..........old ways-
ways of indulging
.....in old days.
They bathe in sentiment.
They bathe in sentiment.

[Memories can be so cruel.
They keep fuelling wars.
Countries are like old whores.
Old whores brawling in the
.....street
all over them spoils of
.....dead meat.
We are all of us
.....dead meat walking.]

I still want to do more than
.....survive.
I really want to love.
.....I really want to feel alive.
I still want to do more than
.....survive.
I really want to love.

I really want to love.
.....I really want to feel alive.

Just saying. Yeah!
Keeping on praying.
Yeah! Yeah!
Keeping on praying.

Listen

LISTEN

In the moment, so alive
Feel the beat beneath the trees
Heartbeats sync with nature's vibe
Feel the rhythm in the breeze

Sun is setting red and wide
Sky is painting golden hue
Shadows dance in the twilight
Magic's here and it's on cue

Echoes calling from afar
Dreams are flowing through the air
Everyone becomes a star
Underneath the moonlight's stare

It's gonna be big
It's gonna be wild
Feel it in your heart
Feel it free, like a child

Leaves are rustling whisper dreams
Wildlife serenades the night
Under stars a growing theme
Stand together feel the sight

Echoes calling from afar
Dreams are flowing through the air
Everyone becomes a star
Underneath the moonlight's stare

It's gonna be big
It's gonna be wild
Feel it in your heart
Feel it free, just like a child

It's gonna be big
It's gonna be wild
Feel it in your heart
Feel it free, just like a child
