Say It

Wine glasses on the windowsill
City wind blowing through the screen I feel
It was you and me, It was you and me
It was you and me, It was you and me
Bliss walking eve ’til morning light
Eggshells in the sun - I’m not alright
It was you and me, It was you and me
It was you and me, It was you and me
Could you -
Could you tell me that you love me?
Could you say it
Say it if I wasn’t - wasn’t
Say it if I wasn’t leavin’

Ghost

I go back
To the place
Where I first
Held your waist
Much is wrong
Much has changed
What's the year?
What's my name?
What's my name?
Oh...
Settle down
It's not fear
But I feel
Uneasy here
You were light
You were clear
I feel lost again
Are you still near?
Are you still near...
Ghost?
All my old friends
Wish me well
See that old girl
Who gave me hell
I walk my lines
I walk my floors
A picture of you
And I'm done for
I'm done for...
Oh...
I was no queen
You were no king
But we could have been
Anything
Everyone knew
That I'd be yours
Til flowers rained
On one of us
On one of us
I don't cry
For too long
Something says
"Love be strong"
I hear your ghost
In my ear
Please be close
Please be near
Please be near
Oh...
Please be near
I hear your ghost
In my ear
Please be close
Please be near

Honey
03:50

Coffee stains my shirt
In the afternoon
The more I tense up
The more I waste the brew
I come home
Bitter face, ice up my sleeve
She opens her mouth
And I remember peace
She says “Honey you always look good to me…
Your mess is cute”
She lets me be
Sleep an hour
Get up at three
TV’s on
Level whispering
Clench my eyes
I can’t rest for shit
A hand sneaks up on mine
Before she sits
She says “Honey you always look good to me…
Ease your eyes”
She lets me be
“Honey you always look good to me”
“Ease your eyes”
“Honey you always look good to me…
Ease your eyes”
She lets me be
Ease my eyes…
She set me free

The Sun pt. 1

I been on my own
Lookin’ for the sun
Waitin’ for the proof
That I'm not the only one
Living in the fog
Scared to run
Breathing misty air
Ooh, is anybody out there?
Every bump up is a hill to fall from
Happy for last week and
Sad for this one
But can anybody tell?
Do I give it up in my eyes?
Do you know me so well?
Do I try to hide it from myself?
That I know there's a better way
Better way to live
I been on my own
Lookin’ for the sun
Waitin’ for the proof
That I'm not the only one
Sun
Round two. Reset.
The air’s clear
But why's the sky still shaded?
And while I never thought I'd make a splash at Top of the Park
Now I'm worried that they'll figure out
I'm 'fraid of the dark
Is it you too?
Can you hear me?
How do I live well?
Can you help me see clearly
My need is dyer
Cause someday I'm set to expire
I been on my own
Lookin’ for the sun
Waitin’ for the proof
That I'm not the only one
And everybody sittin’ around me
Is smiling happy
If I wait in the back seat
Don't wait in the back seat

Ki5 Ypsilanti, Michigan
Ki5 is a vocal artist who leans on his a cappella roots to create vibrant soundscapes with the voice at the center. His style has evolved into incorporating all kinds of instrumentation in his R&B, pop, soulful, indie-folk productions, but he regularly performs with nothing more than a loop station to capture his vocals and beatboxing. ... more
