lyrics

Reporting live
from Shanghai
Everything you
believed in
was always in
your eyes and mine

From Shanghai to the Chi
I see images of
the Autumn Leaves floating
Frozen, still in time
The image of you
that wasn't mine

Because the other side
of your coin
did not include me
Foolish me listening
to the toxic masculinity
of mentors who were twice
the ages of me

They told me to chase
the pages of stories
but what good are the stories
when they're filled with
heartache
Yes, I've grown
but if only I had known

That being alone
does not include
glorious tales of success
A Hero's Journey
is not worth all of this stress

I still reminisce
about your dress
I still reminisce
about your caress
I still reminisce
about everything
that was the best
kept secret about us

Love is a foolish fallacy
the adage of everything
that is full of calamity
and tragedy

But if given one more opportunity
I know you and me
could reach divinity

No more toxic masculinity
comes from my throat
or my voice or my hopes
