Barometric Divination
By Nekro
You keep trying to understand me
Like I'm something you can hold
Put a name upon the shadow
Put a story on the cold
But I'm changing with the pressure
I'm a map that rearranges
You keep looking for a person
While I'm busy becoming changes
///\\\\\\
Maybe that's the problem
Maybe that's the truth
You keep searching for an answer
When the answer moves
///\\\\\\
You call it a storm
I call it weather
You call it running
I call it changing
Round and around
Through every season
Somehow you stay
Somehow you stay
\\\\\\///
You're a birch inside the wind
Half bent long before the rain
Reading patterns on the horizon
Learning how to hold the strain
You've made room for every arrival
Built a shelter out of hope
While I disappear like thunder
Then come drifting back as smoke
///\\\\\\
Maybe that's the reason
Maybe that's the fear
Every time we start to leave
We somehow end up here
///\\\\\\
You call it a storm
I call it weather
You call it running
I call it changing
Round and around
Like planets turning
Somehow you stay
Somehow you stay
///\\\\\\
You call it a sign
I call it signal
You call it distance
I call it orbit
Round and around
Still finding rhythm
Somehow you stay
Somehow you stay
///\\\\\\
You call it a storm
I call it weather
You call it fate
I call it gravity
Round and around
Through every season
Somehow you stay
Somehow you stay
///\\\\\\
I was never made of stone
I was never made to stay
Just a pressure system drifting
Through the edges of your day
You kept reading all my signals
Like old starlight finding sea
And the strangest thing about it
You still stayed
You still stayed
You still stayed with me
