lyrics

feels from without
untying knots on the inside
i'm moving at pace
with the trees outside my place
and the streets with people who
i try to keep in mind

those black reflexive eyes
hers blue
hers green
his too

and i hone my unraveling skills
when i think about how
my dad told me
his eyes changed from brown to green
in his teens
and his musical taste
began to change sound

i look to your gaze
to catch a glimpse of us
like how a window
loses its view in a well-lit room
this reflection is new
and now i feel it changing me too

the smell of fall
laced with sweet city stench
i'm still learning how to juggle the past and the present
leaves don't change prettier shades of orange, red, and yellow
in the south
just different ones
at least that's what i tell myself
and you help me enjoy them all the same
the shapeliness of difference
the beauty of shapeless sameness
the constant destruction and reformatting of the two
