why i love ani:

[polaroidpose]

you keep telling me i'm beautiful
but I feel a little less so each time
your love is so colorful
it flashes like a neon sign

but i finally drove out where
the sky is dark enough to see stars
and i found i miss no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars

so i hope i'd never see the ocean again
pushin' and pulling at me as i go deeper and deeper in
til im so far from my shore
so far from what i came here for

i'll let you surround me
i'll let you drown me
out with your din
and then i learned how to swim

i was floating above myself
watching her do just what you wanted
poor little friendly ghost
wondering why her whole house feels haunted

i told myself i was strong enough
that i had plenty of blood to give
and each elbow cradled a needle
but listless and fainting's no way to live

so i hope i never see the ocean again
pushin' and pullin' at me as i go deeper and deeper in
til i'm so far from my shore
so far from what i came here for

i let you surround me
i let you drown me
out with your din
and then i learned how to swim

you keep telling me i'm beautiful
but I feel a little less so each time
your love is so colorful
it flashes like a neon sign

but i finally drove out where
the sky is dark enough to see stars
and i found i miss no one
just listening to the swishing of distant cars
