Iuxta

[portugal_the_man]

Between the hidden valley I saw
you with shaded characters
sprawled across the leaves
they flew and flipped

I heard your words and
their sense was
wicked but humble
brave but unstable

Tell me what reasons
brought these thoughts upon you?
It's hard to talk when these
fires light up like beasts
that long to burst through

I shall remain knowing in the end
I shall remain knowing in the end
And it's because I lost my lover friend

This stretch of road appeared so close
my tears were fleeting
Such blur and ghost but then
I saw such a lovely tree
I had so much time to avoid it
but I couldn't see the need

I remained knowing in the end
I remained knowing in the end
My soul could never recover
my loss my lover friend
