about
This is first installment of "MIDNIGHT MOORING"
I'm reflecting on the avoidance of my grandfather's passing, coming to terms with it, and trying to balance taking care of myself and the people who where in my life during that time.
lyrics
(Intro)
When the clock strikes 12, hashtags commence
You keep coming back to me like a sequence of events
I'll tell me your story, take time in the morning
No midnight marauders, just midnight mooring
(Verse)
I’m in the background...taking photos with a dark glare
Sometimes my favorite place in the world is when you’re not there
Refining...search engine optimizing
I wake up every night just to see if light is shining
The timing’s perfect...every moments on display
I close my apertures in hopes they’ll capture brighter days
In a dark web...this only happens for a second
Accept message requests, accept the consequences
We filter mediums, the magnitude of our words
But to see you as you are is something you can’t converse
I’m left speechless...only to see what’s been posted
Scrolling past at first glance hoping they’ll take notice
It must be hard, questioning if you’re worthy
When being the most important’s has a false sense of security
I’m laying in bed, but I’m also feeling drained
If actions speak louder than words...fuck a title change
Because I’ve spent more time on mentions & tagging
Instead of expressing the pain from my grandpas passing
So when the clock strikes 12, hashtags endorsing
No midnight marauders, just midnight mooring
(Chorus)
The clock strikes 12, the clocks strikes 12
The clock strikes 12, take time for yourself
The clock strikes 12, the clock strikes 12
The clock strikes 12, take time for myself
When the clock strikes 12, hashtags commence
You keep coming back to me like a sequence of events
I’ll tell you my story, take time in the morning
No midnight marauders, just midnight mooring
(Verse)
You’re in the background...taking photos with an affect
Meanwhile I’m counting the days since my grandpa’s death
I’m a mess...I need fuel for my engine
I’m just following directions like a funeral procession
Bad timing’s something that I can’t seem to grasp
I’d rather let myself go than hold myself back
I’m in a dark place, I need a silver lining
I control my destiny but can’t control when I’m dying
I have no filter...the magnitude of what I say
Is buried underneath the urge to push people away
So when I’m quiet...I get lost in my brain
Relationships evolve, death I’m certain you can’t change
It’s fucking hard...asking me if it’s worth it
When the next best thing...really isn’t all that perfect
I’m still in bed, my grandpas dearly departed
The few times he opened up, taught me to be guarded
Because I spent more time, mentioning assumptions
Instead of getting the answers and “whatever it comes with”
So when the clock strikes 12, mourning-morning
No midnight marauders, just midnight mooring
(Chorus)
The clock strikes 12, the clocks strikes 12
The clock strikes 12, take time for yourself
The clock strikes 12, the clock strikes 12
The clock strikes 12, take time for myself
When the clock strikes 12, hashtags commence
You keep coming back to me like a sequence of events
I’ll tell you my story, take time in the morning
No midnight marauders, just midnight mooring
