"DO YOU BELIEVE I CAN CUT THE SUN IN HALF?"

when i least expected to play favorites,
i deemed myself a hypocrite upon the first woo.
so i am simply condemned as this review takes form.
the lyrics, painful and beautiful, reinvent love's approachings.
their music maneuvers into otherworldly sounds;
some tunes amplify, others soften,
but overall the seducing weight strokes
And soothes. with tender chords
orchestrated into that delicate, dreamy voice,
i finally understand what it means
to lose myself for days in daydreams...
i think of uncharted feelings in my ribcage,
how they resonate and calm.
i remember what it's like to be vulnerable and obsessive
over the inklings in love.
i yearn for the fruits of a first kiss,
the steady realization of true love,
the walk down the aisle,
the heat above my wrists.
i long to trace the heart of my loved one.
a hollow heaviness remains
for those who feel robbed and placed in such music.
the autumns will not leave you with regret.
if anything, absolute longing.
