Ghost - Raicca

lyrics//

taste of your lips in the back of my mouth
sound of your voice in the back of my mind
the beat of your heart beating in time
to the rush of the clocks and the rush in our minds

and i’m holding on to the smell of your skin
and you’re holding on to the place of your heart i was in
before we ran away

words on your tongue tattooed on my skin
i’ll try to wash them away but your ink seeps in
until your promises are swimming in my veins
and your absence is screaming in my brain

and you’ll swear that you don’t think of me
but when you listen to my songs you’ll remember the melodies
before we ran away

cut all the strings that you had me tied in
words covered in alcohol had me blinded
that night you washed me away with your promises
false hope in your brown eyes
how did you turn the truth into lies
when you asked me if in the end we could be?

i'm still holding onto the smell of your skin
are you still holding on to the place of your heart i was in?
before we ran away

summertime without u - raicca

i wrote cold wars about 3 months ago on a day where the weather outside seemed to perfectly embody what i was feeling. it was uncharacteristically warm for a december day, but the cold was most definitely on its way. i remember waking up that morning and remembering a dream where i was driving around in my car, running every red light and stop sign trying to catch someone or something that was never even remotely within my reach. i remember being heartbroken that that dream was very much so my reality at the time.

writing has always been my way out; i write about the way i perceive things and the way i wish things were. but this song was the first one i wrote about my reality, before i even really accepted it. which is why i think this song means more to me than i think i can ever explain. 
•
sometimes i listen to it and i’m surprised by the strength in the words i wrote when i still often find myself in insane moments of weakness and heartache. to put it in perspective, i wrote this song about how it never will matter how much you care and long for someone when it seems like you’re fighting a battle from both ends, with no resolution in sight. and how no matter how bleak the future may look, every cold war will one day come to an end.
