(no subject)
It's a backwards attraction to your forward eyes
but you're so far sighted that you can't place trust
in what or who you recognize
How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but
In a language that you can't read just yet
I'm starting to feel
We stay together out of fear of dying alone
I've been slipping through the years
My old clothes don't fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts of the people I've been
But it's like my heart can't be tamed
And I fall in love every day and I feel like a fool
I have to face the truth
That no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I'm something worth holding on to
And there's times I think of leaving
But it's something I'll never do
'Cause you can do better than me
But I can't do better than you
You can do better than me
But I can't do better than you
I have such envy
For the stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night
And slips out into the pre-dawn light
With no words
A clean escape
No promises or messes made
And chalks it all up
To mistake, mistake, mistake
i loved you since before i was born. i loved you since before i had skin. without you it feels all kind of worn. i loved you...more. i loved you. i loved you so much. you were the candle i wanted to touch, but just like fire, you broke through my skin. took away my dignity, and i lost a friend.
(kind of like spitting - bside poetry)
first impressions of the next day: a hornet repeating its sting. worn out, woke up. pull out, pull up you think... is it always gonna end this way? scratching names off the phone list. is it what you take or what we give away? that makes your heart feel less homeless? you've only pushed the splinter deeper in. another hook in your lip, losing whatever war you've been trying to win. a million notebooks just like yours, full of weed and whine. you're a character in everybody else's short film. You didn't have to be one in your own life. You've only pushed the splinter deeper in, losing whatever war you've been trying to win. rapid fire. gun for hire. i hope he blows your smile away.
(kind of like spitting - sex ruins everything)
Reacclimate to my surroundings,
Back in a city that just seems to eat itself,
And all I really wanna do is
Get back into you.
No tension, no worries,
But every time it comes around I find grey ways to let you down.
I can't control my instincts.
Why can't I be happy just to call you a friend?
I thought things could be different;
Maybe I could do some good,
Come home spent to unemploy a past from Hollywood.
Some things can change everything despite their rights and wrongs.
I'm getting reacquainted with my lower self.
Redhead, teach me compassion from your fragrant continent.
While you're at it, you can resurrect my family,
While you're at it, you can summon Christ and part the seas,
While you're at it, you can pulverize my chemicals.
I'm so sick of trying to fight my body
And you
At the same time.
I am righteous in my anger!
All I have to give you is my lower self.
I will sing of how we made love like strangers,
And all I have to sell you is my lower self.
Oh, how you are as petty as the post-punk kids you pity,
How you swear by the myth that you're not beautiful,
And nothing ever seems to work the way that it gets planned,
So we turn away from everyone that loves us.
Hypnotized by waves, our lives are deer blocking the lane.
We can just sit back and watch it all go up in flames,
Till every note, every chord sounds the same,
It goes "boom boom boom boom boom" on my ego.
It goes "boom boom boom boom boom," but I don't mind it anymore,
Cos it can only go "boom boom boom" for so long,
Until it hurts you more than it hurts me.
And nothing ever seems to work the way that it gets planned,
So I turn away from everything that hurts me,
Climb back into a cloud of smoke, my face close to the flame,
Cameras pulling back and leaving you left off the frame.
It's a party and you're not invited.
(kind of like spitting - we are both writers)
You've got a smile that knows how, and the ones you always know are falling around now. If you need him here to say to tell you everything's OK then nothings going to be alright, if you need him here that way. And if I could just interject, it might not make much sense, you've got a smile an embarrassed frownand I give it at my best. If you need him here to say that everything's ok than I'm just not sure that everything's ok and you wanna know what went down just read it in the papers. straighten up shoulders up. (kind of like spitting - do you need him to tell you elsa)
Comes down to me and me, or you and you alone. The people we love can never crawl inside of us, even if they wanted to. Happy's up to you.
(kind of like spitting - happy)
Something in the air just leaves me breathless, I've got enough for you to test this. Cuz you have no wilder smile and you cant reason after a while. Something feels so home today. Something feels like home today. You let that jerk make a jerk of you. They gave you just enough to pull you though and you wonder why your not happy. Something feels so home today. Scare me when you talk that way. we can hide away for now.
(kind of like spitting - something in the air)
I never guessed a kiss could feel so honest. I never expected a thing from you. I'm not the one who's special but it made me feel so brand new. You made me feel like nothing mattered. Made me believe that love was pure. I want to feel like I still matter to you. Stayed up all night same as last night and the one before just like the night we spent before. Last time I saw you I tried to hide it wasting my time hoping you would walk by. I would have never guessed how deeply you have made me fall for you. I'm not sure how you still feel about us, I myself am a bit confused. I realize that you don't need me but right now I'm missing you. Please don't let it end this way.
