The lyrics are an adaptation of an original poem by Amie Saramelkonian, who gave kind permission to turn her poem into this song...


this was not made for you
no note in code, no secrets drafted
by mythic beasts held captive
in the stars
no this was not made for you
no signals encrypted in plumes of smoke
this meaning you've gleaned is not bespoke

I've never known you
but I know you
may have reason
to doubt me

if you don't believe me
come along then and follow
along paths away from the fallow
sit with me
press my hand to your breast
and feel your own heart beating
tapping back at you resonating
draw in close
if you don't believe me
let me breathe softly in your ear
choose the words you long to hear
insincere

but don't blame me if things change
the future diverges the note is rewritten
the skies are ever shifting
a vow goes unkept
don't blame me it can't be helped
I may be complicit but I did not mislead
forsake you or deceive
intentionally
this was not made for you
whatever you saw or thought you had seen
was of your own making
you chose what I meant
