A Month of Sleep

Here’s to you
And the symmetry between
The first few days of spring
The metaphors and similes
Vibrant as an evergreen
I am ever green
And all I see
Is comforting
Here’s to you
And the symmetry between
The sunshine and life it breathes
Envelope me in anything you please
Oh would you, please
If this is peace I hope it never leaves
But I won’t remember this month of sleep
Here’s to you
And the energy between
The words that we never speak
And if I could I swear I’d just evaporate into the smell of morning coffee and the way you said you loved me
I swear I’ve never felt so lovely
So before it leaves, here’s to you

Undone

Spilling onto the pavement
Counterfeit faces
Erase all the days where I was buried in hatred
Course through my veins
I’m still forging your name
To write off all the things that I wish I could change
But your still in love with a concept
You criticize with lazy eyes
I’m trying hard to sympathize
But I can’t find a reason to stay here
Embrace the pain that’s bound to come
Forevermore, you’re coming undone
Picking up pieces of broken glass
Leave all the fragments in the past
I cannot confront this it’s over and done with
And I’ve been running from myself
Take it back take it back
Head so full of smack and out of wack
Another color change a tongue so out of range
A slap on a sunburn to the tune of a songbird
Obsessed with a concept abusive and unkempt

Held up in the airport waiting on my 20 year old suitcase
Baggage claim’s making laps like a runner
Got my head spinning circles around a 2 year summer
Yeah all I wanna do is fly back and spend golden hour with you
But I think you made it clear with a 12 letter bummer
Maybe
Maybe I’ve overstated
Maybe it’s too complicated
And I don’t think that I hate it
Maybe I should smoke a little less
Maybe I should see a therapist
But I’d rather do this myself
It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m fine, yeah I’m fine
You need to see the change for yourself
You need to see me in good health
And I wanted to know, do you still trust me?
“I think you want me to say it
But I don’t think that I’ll say what you’re thinking now
Cos you’ll fall through the floor
But if it’s what you want then I’ll speak”
You said,
“I like your face much better when it rains, but I think the sun’s much better for my brain
And I think you’ve gone mad, you’ve been there before
But it was never this bad and it’s kind of sad
You’re out of line and I think I found out in the knick of time
Cos there’s this color I found and you look just like it
And I keep my heart out just because you like it
You’re out of line
Maybe it’s too complicated
But this is no one else’s baggage to carry
So maybe you should see a therapist...
You need to feel the change for yourself
You need to protect your mental health
You just keep saying it’s fine... but it’s so out of line”

Dopamine
03:25

Like the smoke in the air tonight
Our particles will dissolve with time
Woven tight in the fabric of the sweatshirt that you stole of mine
Are we here just to kill some time
Are you bored? Did you miss my eyes?
We shut that door so carelessly
A makeshift lock with the key inside
Twirl around dodging bullets in the headlights
You said, “I only called you up because it felt right, but for god’s sake your life is not a fucking 80s movie”
I’ll let you in without hesitation
Cos this is my brain, it’s fresh out of patience
So let’s waste away like we died in a bad dream
Like the saccharine taste of our favorite candy
We’ll scream “set me free, dopamine”
Like the smoke in the air tonight
Our particles will dissolve with time
Woven tight in the overtones of the chorus in that song you like
Twirl around dodging punches in a play-through
I wish I never would have answered just to find you dying your hair a shade of blue just to match your point of view

Modern Day Saints

I miss those late nights when we would drive
In your beat up old Tacoma
Having dreams about diplomas and losing sleep on your aunt’s sofa
I’m looking at photographs from 5 years back that we took on New Year’s Eve
I can smell the rum and cigarettes from the ashes of who we would never be
I was such a waste, but you kept me in place
With dreams of doing selfless things like modern day saints
Hang me out to dry when you get tired of trying
Relapse back to our selfish ways like modern day saints
I’d sing along with you til we both passed out in the living room
From late nights wide awake convinced a ghost would roam the staircase
So we’d hide under your duvet like a bed of sheets would keep us safe
An ocean made of seams and in my dreams you were the tide
I miss those nights
You by my side
I miss those late nights
I’m still such a waste
I can’t stay in one place
I never did those selfless things
I’m no modern day saint

I’ve been
I’ve been dragging my goddamn heels through the gravel
Fighting every step of the way to find a different perspective
I’ve been typecast, I’ve out-lashed
My past still comes back to haunt me
You were only trying to guide me in the right direction
The things I hate about me
I know you cannot see
I’m not the person I was and I’m sorry
I wanna learn how to trust
Try to get back where I was
Be who you need me to be
I just wanna breathe again
Quit carving notches in an empty bed
Learn how to take a fucking complement
I wish you weren’t always in my head
You keep me spinning for this
These days I feel like I’ve been petrified tell me why my lack of substance got me telling lies all the time
All I know is I’ve been falling every step of the way
Yeah the floor’s all I know now
But you keep pulling me up when I’m all out of love
It’s got me thinking that you’re the only one that can guide me in the right direction
I carry all my regrets
You were a sacrament
A bitter wine for just one sip at a time
To keep me spinning for this
You keep me spinning for this
