Friend
Future Lyrics

I whisper the tongue like an old friend
I speak a familiar language that feels nostalgic and comforting

I cherish my time, here - alone
I value my solitude and find peace in being by myself

I wait in the eyes of the passing night
I spend my evenings observing the world around me

To help me laugh brushfires again
To put out any negative emotions or experiences that may be weighing me down

By the swallow's sleeve, I'm a new hand
I am inexperienced and learning from those around me

Cutting out the shapes that burn me
Avoiding painful experiences or memories

I can touch the mouths of these child gods
I am able to connect with individuals who are holy in their innocence

And these true minds that hurt man
However, even those with the best intentions can harm others

And the will will go up
I am determined to move forward

To the crashing sails
Even if obstacles arise and threaten to knock me down

And the crushing wails of my old pen
Despite the pain that comes with revisiting old writing pieces

This wind screams while I'm asleep
My thoughts and emotions continue to plague me even in my rest

And dreams that these white eyes will smile again
I hold onto the hope that things will get better and I will find happiness

I take to the road like an old man
I approach life with a sense of wisdom and experience

I process the lines of the passing lights
I am reflective and thoughtful as I examine my surroundings

Losing myself, I change my plans
I let go of strict expectations and allow for flexibility in my life

By the western walls I'm a cursed hand
I feel rejected and unwelcome in certain situations or places

By the eastern seas I'm hardly wrong
In contrast, I feel confident and successful in other areas of my life

I can swing myself down from these trees
I am able to change my perspective and approach when necessary

When I crave a glimpse of weary sands
When I am in need of a shift or break from my routine

I whisper the tongue like an old friend
I hold onto familiarity in hopes of finding comfort and safety

I cherish my time here alone
Above all, I value my independence and ability to be self-sufficient

I swing myself down from these trees
I make adjustments and modifications to my routine in order to cope and find happiness

To help me laugh brushfires again
I prioritize my emotional well-being and work to let go of negativity
