Bite my tongue
Lick your teeth
Roll your eyes
Tongue in cheek
This time I'm not crawling back

Blue lights
Are all I see when
I hear you sing
Cold nights
Don't exist when
You are with me
Blue lights
Are all I see each time
You kiss me
Cold nights
Oh they haunt me
In my dreams
How can I feel this?
Take me as I am
At home in my skin
How can I feel this?

Motion

What a moment
I'll capture it
And carry it with me
But you're in motion
So it's blurry and not what
I thought it would be
Losing focus
I'm drowning in
A sea of evergreen
And it feels hopeless
God I'm so afraid
Wait a moment
I thought you were
Standing next to me
But you're in motion
And I'm right here
Where I'll always be
What a moment
What a moment
I'll capture it
And carry it with me
But you're in motion
And I'm right here
Where I'll always be

Gay Song

Lying awake
Counting the sheep
To keep
My mind occupied
As the days grow shorter
I find myself
Longing
For her all the time
She'll stumble into
My dreams as I'm
Slipping
Back to sleep
I wish
She'd pierce me with her eyes
And kill me with her lips
So I don't have to live like this
Pull me closer
Kiss me harder
It's getting warmer
Light seeps in the corners
I reach out for her but she's
Getting farther away
She'll pierce me with her eyes
And kill me with her lips
So I don't have to live like this
Pull me closer
Kiss me harder
It's getting warmer
Light seeps in the corners
I reach out for her but she's
Getting farther away

Good Morning
03:41
|

|
Hold me
One last time
Before the
Cold snaps and
Trickles down my spine
I think
I'll have a cup of tea
I know
It's out of character for me
But I've been
Drinking espresso since
I was fifteen
And I think
It's catching up with me
Grant me
One last kiss
Before I
Slip into something
More comfortable
My abyss
I think
You've grown tired of me
I know
I've been looking for a reason
To leave it's just the
Grass is so much greener
When you are here with me
And I think
It's catching up with me
Light creeps
Through the blinds
But I
Can't be bothered
To check the time
I hope
You're not tired of me

Just for Fun

I don't wanna be the one
To lay it on the table
And watch you turn and run
I thought this was just for fun
But I'm in over my head
What the hell have I done
You set my heart ablaze
And I can finally see the stars
Despite this clouded gaze
But you deserve a sunrise
And I'll be waiting for tomorrow
Til the day I die
I don't wanna be the one
To lay it on the table
And watch you turn and run
I thought this was just for fun
But I'm in over my head
What the hell have I done
Put your finger to my lips
Just cut me off
Or I'll say something I'll regret
Maybe as I wax and wane
The tides will cleanse my mind
Of this unfinished phrase
I don't wanna be the one
To lay it on the table
And watch you turn and run
I thought this was just for fun
But I'm in over my head
What the hell have I done

Here I am
At the bottom of a bucket
Just a sandcastle
Not yet built
Do you hear me
No well fuck it
I'm just doing my best
Trying to make rent
Working sixty hours makes me
Wish that I were dead
Searching for a home
In other people
It's hard not
To be bitter
They're not haunted
They're just people
They're just doing their best
Trying to make rent
I'm sure working sixty hours makes them
Wish that they were dead
Maybe just try and
See the things
I can't ignore like the
Cannibals at our
Corner store
Maybe I'll die and
Be something
You can't avoid like a
Heart attack or an
Asteroid
