here we are
in the grass under the stars
laying with you next to me
thinking its so strange to be
anything at all

preserve this moment, try to seize
the beauty of the autumn breeze
flowing ever endlessly
over our tongues down to our lungs
oxygen, the forest's breath
flows through our veins, holds off our death
how do i still breathe in and out
every night when i'm passed out?
we cry and laugh and sing and shout
through it all with out a doubt
we breathe, our blood refreshed again
pulses warm under our skin
reaching the extremities
my blood spent it now recedes
back to my heart where it began
beating for my whole lifespan
this mussel works tirelessly
through all of my uncertainty
now it beats in time with yours
all my confusion has been cured
i'm where i'm ment to be


i can feel your hand in mine
so soft and warm and so divine
sensation shot through endless nerves
fly up my spine to be observed
my brain releasing chemicals
felt in my chest and genitals
this thing that they call butterflies
must be the most intense of highs
i know your nerves feel my hand too
among the breeze and summer dew
i hope your brain's the same as mine
please fall for me give me a sign
or is it that you're here with me
across the world over the sea
something must have brought us here
the universe's puppeteer?
two souls across the plain of time
two verses that turn out to rhyme
have found each other once again
now that your here my life begins
i finally feel at home

here we are
in the grass under the stars
laying with you next to me
thinking its so strange to be
anything at all

as we lay here in the grass
i swear i can't feel the time pass
but humming on my body does
i wonder if this is because
cells go about their daily lives
each works and eats they live and die
cells make up every part of us
they fight disease dispel the pus
they reproduce my dna
a billion times most everyday
just one mistake a cancer grows
how they avoid disaster i don't know
consuming other living cells
is how we linger in this hell
we must destroy to recreate
its so bizarre to contemplate
miles of smelly slimy guts
breaking down the lives we smut
some coiled pulsing depravity
inside our body cavities
it's how we stay alive


as we lay here side by side
absorbing all that is the night
it seems as though the forest sings
vibrations caused by insect wings
reach the drums inside my ears
the rhythm blocking out my fears
'cause me and you and everything
are made of small vibrating strings
they make a universal hum
where we're headed, where we're from
the tiny lights from the night sky
wavelengths bouncing in our eyes
it may have took a trillion years
for each of them to meet us here
the image flipped in to our brains
through lightning bolts a synapse is made
the reason why i'm not afraid
from dead stardust we all were made
just a speck in this immensity
and now i see with clarity
just what i'm here to do
falling in love with you


here we are
in the grass under the stars
laying with you next to me
thinking its so strange to be
anything at all
