Rise
by Azure Ray
Today I'll crawl out of bed
I can't stand your shadow
Is too heavy to lift
Maybe we'll go for a ride
You said you'd take me nowhere
I said that suits me just fine
I know you've always been near
Whispering secrets I know
I'm not supposed to hear
Hold your heart with two hands
Give it to me only to disappear
Look how low I've sunk
Don't ask me to rise
I'll only lose you when I'm high
All alone in the dark
Love survives only when we are apart
Your voice still sounds in my ears
Soft explosions that blossom
With the beat of my heart

Wow, I remember listening to this in middle school. Even though it was only a little over a decade ago, it feels like another lifetime. And yet, this song just put me right back in that time and feeling. I think Azure Ray will always hold a special place in my heart.
