when the spell runs out

about

a song for an aging always-online dude

lyrics

worried for when the spell runs out
if you'll forgive me for being away
when the spell runs out
i grant you permission to click away

if only i could sit there longer
while i muster up emotional power
to give my words a voice that they deserve
but it's a voice i still have not heard

when all the magic's gone
i wanna tell you i love you but, you gotta
yank my chain back down to earth
say the number of kisses don't make my worth

i keep on making it up as i go
cause these old words don't have a home
it's a simple idea in my head
but there's nobody else to test with
it's all too late, the blame is waterlogged at the bottom of lakes

trying crime before i'm a threat
switching sides before it's more than a bit
if what i want is just the commitment then
why am i so scared to commit?

when all the magic's gone
i hope i'm saved by people i love
i oughta let myself enjoy it all
and there's always a haven in the hospital

my ssd at full capacity
some words just never meant to be
how can i show you how much you mean to me?
can i just show you how much you mean to me?
