Name: Wake up to Our End
Duration: P00H03M09S
Description: Reviving a sealed memory of a tranquil summer night in a white hotel bed, where a murmured goodbye was left to my first love before I headed toward an unknown life on the other side of the globe. 7 years later, I laid down this acoustic riff, tailored three verses and a bridge, and fit 'em into a deep sea of sounds. The mellowest ever song I've recorded, "Wake up to Our End."

lyrics

Billowy moon creeps in
Staring at you fallen asleep
I sink myself in this bleached bed

Fingers in clutch with you
In a room devoid of balloons
We’re parting ways past tomorrow

The crescent’s pale and yellow
We’ll wake up to our end

I trace a stitch on the duvet
Pondering the fate of us two
The pearly ceiling has me drenched

Wet dreams are young fantasies
Carrying the sands in hourglass
That’s counting off our next sunrise

My head is rolling edgewise
We’ll wake up to our end

A train’s to roar, another’s close
Trembling the ground, blowing their horns
Our bags are packed, stacked to the wall; we are
Ready for tomorrow

Your snores are shallow and sweet
Only if the clock could freeze
I let a sigh from small of my chest

Dwindles the gleam on curtains
Leaving all the past we loved
Writing on the wall’s just like many

A drop of tear has fled me
We’ll wake up to our end
We’ll wake up to our end
