Safety of the AC Room

from Nothing Lasts Forever (B​-​Sides) by Noah Derksen

/

lyrics

in the safety of the air-conditioned room
I watched your flowers bloom
it was the most beautiful arrangement—ya that’s true
the colours playing
but then a shadow cast an oblong shape I knew
seems light was fading and it’s contagious

is it you or is it me
sacrificing who we’re meant to be
is it you and is it me
sacrificing for eternity
but then are you and me
are we free

there’s a notion that you reap what you have sown so many moons ago
I once tried to plant a garden
but the seeds, they failed to grow
what a foolish thought to think that I could lift them up from dust to sky
when all I did was shield from view
the sun and all its vital hues

is it you or is it me
sacrificing who we’re meant to be
is it you and is it me
sacrificing for eternity
but then are you and me
are we free

in the safety of the air-conditioned room
I watch your flowers bloom
