every night
03:57
|

treading water with two anchors on my ankles
while the plankton laugh hysterically at how my body dangles
towards the surface
I'm not going anywhere for a while
losing oxygen I reach for you to save me
but you're caught up on the shore
with everyone else misbehaving;
so let me drown
but I would still give you everything left in my lungs
if I could
why do I do this?
I'll never know.
my head moves too fast to ever slow
have you ever loved someone
but not known them at all?
so far away
but still you feel your souls are intertwining
does this even matter?
why is your heart so inviting?
who am I to even think that you would have me?
if you saw me in the street
would you stop or would you pass me?
it's hard to tell
well I've walked this block six times and worn holes in my shoes
and there's still no sign of you
did you ever fall asleep or did you lay awake?
it's two a.m. and there's no one else I'd rather have beside me
thoughts like this could kill a man;
every night for the past six years now

bloom
03:02

disaster waits for no man
and I am no exception
gounded; made to stand alone
but I still think about September
vivid imagery
painting nothing
stable fixtures creak
safe from nothing
perfection found in broken things
maybe one day you'll find something in me
hairline fracture
I just can't keep myself together
passing time
watching flowers
grow from my insides
wasted time
counting the hours
it took for me to finally bloom

feels like
04:36
|
|||
feels like catching rain in your cold hands
just to feel something again
confusing pain with ignorance
guilt tripping over myself
I was the cloth you cut from your own sleeve
a piece of you no longer needed
I think poison tastes the best when shared with two
burning in harmony
I never wanted to see the coast anyway
they say life's good until it's not
I've been carried away by storms
suffocate me in a cloud
feels like
breathing beneath your wave
echoes
faint whispering
sunlight
why don't you brighten my day?
still life
replace my earth with graves
hide the light inside your palms
bring it out when you're alone
shed some tears over the past
bottled up to make them last
feels like
breathing beneath your wave
echoes
faint whispering
sunlight
why don't you brighten my day?
still life
replace my earth with graves
peaceful love
greying sun
feels like us
giving up
teaching myself to walk again
moving inches

pictures

I couldn't have called this, couldn't have called this
couldn't have seen it if it was in front of my face
now I can close my eyes and I see the places
that we used to go
we would come home so late
acting exactly our age
now all that's left are these pictures that float around in my head again float around in my head again
float around in my head
I've walked around this apartment for two hours
and still haven't accomplished a thing
what am I thinking?
why did I leave my head back home?
why did I leave my head back home?
we would come home so late
acting exactly our age
now all that's left are these pictures that float around in my head again float around in my head again
float around in my head
