There are so many words
I can barely say
There are so many thoughts
That can’t find a place
And sometimes I don’t feel safe
To open up my mouth
And try to name this state
Fear of the echoes of a barren stage

There are so many nights
I can’t wear my name
What if I shared it with another
Could we bear its weight
What if I was brave enough to stay
Then perhaps I could feel safe
To open up my mouth
And try to name this state
Slow dance to the
Echoes of an abandoned stage
