(no subject)
you would settle for anything
that would make your brain slow down or stop
break this circle of thoughts you chase
before they catch back up with you
i'm done feeling like a skeleton
no more sleep walking dead"
you're going to wake from this coma
you're going to crawl from this bed you have made
and stop counting on that camera
that hangs round your neck
because it won't ever remember
what you choose to forget
as you try to find some source of light
try to name one thing you like
you used to have such a longer list
and light you never had to look for it
but now it's so easy-- it's so easy to
it's so easy-- it's so easy to
second guess everything you do
until all you want is all you want is to
to finish this half empty glass
before the ice all melts away
looking towards the future, we were begging for the past
Hands in the air and love at our sides.
There's gotta be something bigger here.
With the beating in our throats,
And the tremble in our grip.
This can't be it.
I'll come up, I'll come up for peace.
I'll come down, I'll come down for truth.
I'll give in, I'll give up for You.
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been outta your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
Are you aware the shape I’m in?
My hands they shake, my head it spins
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
And I thought all I needed was just one breath to stay
afloat. For me it was like... like the breath, the last breath, the last breath
that I never wanted. Any of this.
so I begin with the end in mind
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Don't Lose Touch
Drink up beautiful;
I spiked your cup with angst, and a heart attack.
I've got so much trapped and it's all because of you.
So i figured you might like some back;
You burnt bright but you run out
Take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
Say, "I don't mind you under my skin
I'll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in"
Well when we were made we were set apart
But life is a test and I get bad marks
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming, the storm is coming in
Don't drink the water here...
I'm developing my sense of humor,
till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth,
till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet.
Love tears me up like a demon.
Opens the wounds and fills them with lead,
and I'm having some trouble just breathing.
If we werent such good friends I think that I'd hate you.
If we weren't such good friends I'd wish you were dead
I've got more give than a bale of hay
I could never love again so much as I love you
Where you end where I begin is like a river going through
Take my heart, take my eyes cuz I need them no more
If never again they fall upon the one I so adore
Excuse me please one more drink
Could you make it strong cause I don’t need to think
I got a twenty-dollar bill that says no one's ever seen you without makeup
You're always made up
Learn to swim
Waste of paint
someday something will die and somehow you'll figure out how
often you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon.
something will die and you'll probably just steal his coffin.
Parting of the Sensory
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
Your heart starts skipping steps
So you're farther gone
Than you might expect
I am heaven sent, don't you dare forget
coordinate brain and mouth.
then ask me what's it like to have myself so figured out.
i wish i knew..
we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
i just wanna believe, i just wanna believe,
i just wanna believe in us.
oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.
we are entirely smooth.
we admit to the truth,
we are the best at what we do
this is the grace that only we can bestow.
this is the price you pay for loss of control.
this is the break in the bend,
this is the closest of calls.
this is the reason you're alone,
this is the rise and the fall.
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
Oh man oh how I wish I didn't smoke
Or drink to reason with my head
But sometimes this thick confusion
Grows until I cannot bear it at all
You keep me high minded
You get me high
so this is how
oh this is how it comes to end
a meeting ground between everything and all that's been
so save me
so send me away from here
our time has come
you can barely live with all your fears
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
I sell souls at the side of the road
Would you like to take a number?
There’s a highway to, to the edge, yeah
Once a night you will drive yourself there
Take your time, come on, get what you come for don't
Waste my time, come on, get what you come for
Can't hold on to the thrill
So I hope you find your will to follow through
(What we invented I am now ending)
Hold on to who you love
We are dried and blown like dust since we were young
(What we invented I am now ending)
The morning's over, the day is in full swing
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
And your biggest mistake.
So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down.
I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue
Lovely lady
I will treat you sweetly
I adore you
I mean you crush me
And it's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know just how I love you
Come on, go ahead and crush me
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must
do some raining if you are ever going to grow
we'll just keep working on the problem we know we'll never solve of Love's uneven remainder, our lives are fractions of a whole. But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall. Then I think we would see the beauty then. We would stand staring in awe at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges, like a story told by the fault lines and the soil
