Spring unfolds like a map
With nothing drawn
I'm missing places like teeth
When I was young
Back with weaker skin
For old problems
That are harder
To stand
Summer shows it's teeth from afar
Brace myself
For what's coming

No Daylight

Spent half a life
Wide awake and so tired
Tried to climb the fences
Got caught up in your barbed wire
Fight for the prize
Just out of reach for my whole life
Let it get away
While I was wiping sweat off my eyes
I can't escape
If ever I should fall, the earth will surely break
Die for the grain
You're better off in hell than here for one more day
I can make a shelter
In patterns of perfect lines
Moving in the vacuum
Between them with no daylight
Hiding in the shade
Protects me from the blazing rays
Can't find a way
To help me when it rains sideways
I can't escape
Better men have tried, the outcome is the same
Die for the grain
You're better off in hell than here for one more day
Who's got the patience for the truth?
It's such an ugly view
One look into its eyes and I got frozen still
Who needs a resolution?
You can break your promises
To yourself at any time
I can't escape
I'm giving up my life with every breath I take
Don't you complain
The king is gonna be in the room with us one day
I can't escape
If ever I should fall, the earth will surely break
Die for the grain
You're better off in hell than here for one more day

Midnight
Passing by
You've never been so late in my life
Haunted
Came to say
Words without tongue left to betray
"If there was something else
It would've been left up on the shelf"
Hell
Daybreak
Mundane sound
A shortage of air to go around
Tendrils
Perfumed scent
Spiked blood and antioxidants
Shattered dreams fill the night
Washed out in the neon lights
On this downtrodden path
With water that sings til you call back
To show you
The secret of
Eternal youth
Closing in
Fading out of view
Somewhere
Paid the cost
Followed the signs to end up lost
Drawing
Ever near
Yet so far from where you were last year
When things weren't so grey
A sacred view now once cast away
On the floor of my room
Staring down threads wrapped up too soon
All the same
It doesn't mean a thing
Anymore
Just a new kind of bored
I don't
Want to
Reject
Myself
Waiting
Hoping
For these
Demons to grow wings
And take flight from my dreams
It's taken so long just to believe
There's no line in the sand
There's only a point from where you stand
And
I've been left
To reclaim this feeling
In the face
Of returning to nothing
One a.m.
The choice of two doors in front of me
And I'm walking through
To meet uncertainty

River

Now I'm noticing city lights
Reflecting off the river bright
On this evening
When I should
Be looking at you
Instead of unsteady buildings
Permanent pressure
To recognize myself
Sympathetic to the thought
Of being someone else
But I can't pull this person back
To talk and listen with you
Something's always happening somewhere else
Nothing ever seems that clear to me
Sorry that I'm always looking around
I'm never sure who I should be
Where I am
Is where I am

Out of the Water
07:53
|

|
By the moonlight, the first night
Drag me away from the burning place for the first time
By the second sun, you had already
Flown another wind, sent me to molten rock again
Hey, thought that you withered away
Open your demon heart
Beg for a second start
Now everything is new
We have no legs to move
Out of the water, into an open field
Said everything you needed to say
Are you happy now, it all went your way
Now I am drowning and afraid
And when the tidal wave it fades, I'll have nothing to say
Now everything precious is lost
Crazy idiot, look at the damage you've caused
Now everything is new
We have no legs to move
Lazy animal, when will you learn to crawl
On your own?

Friendly fire
From all sides
I'm caught in between
Ducking out of
Cool thick rain
Big hazel eyes
Windy waves
On the rocks
You held my hand
Painted my nails
And I met all your friends
Second floor apartment
That I'll never see again
Over the ridge
I saw open sea
Scary drives over mountains
We're too much for me
Bedrooms and
Poetry
Were hidden by the trees

Lavender

|
Slowly shifting
Sleeping in my
Sweaty, swimming head
Seeing semblances
Shedding salted thoughts
Of what you're doing tonight
While I'm turning over and over
Sinking through the floor
Festering in fragrance
Found footage of friendly meetings
And lavender honey
I'm feeling good

Don't know
What you said
I left earth
Instead
There's bugs
In my head
And they want
To be fed
The world is
Too bright
I can't sleep
At night
That's fine
Sometimes
It all clicks
And everything aligns
A single moment
Will last a whole day
I get so carried away
That I'm pacing
Heart racing
I'm trying so hard just to
Sit still
Calm down
Turn my insides out
From the pressure
Weighing me down
But it never
Seems to make a sound
And I would sing this verse
But I just forgot the words
Now I feel like David Byrne
Just trying to be heard
Heard it
All before
A thousand
Or more
Go yell
At the wall
You'll get the same results
I guess I'm just a kid
Who won't listen
To what you tell me
Since you know what's best
For my health
Then why don't you go
Fuck yourself
I'm sorry
I'm ashamed
Why can't I
Just be the same
Without the pressure
Weighing me down
Will it ever
Get me off the ground
And I couldn't hold a job
If it my life depended on
Still all my time just goes in circles
Til it's gone
And I'm tired
Of full control
When I just
Want to let go
This is gonna blow
Cause I can't take another day
Of feeling fine of feeling dead
Being pulled every single way
Except ahead
All the pressure
Weighing me down
All the pressure
Weighing down

Felt too soft
Anywhere
Sheltered heart
Pinpricked fingers
Sweet embrace
Tentative farewell
Long drive home
Wistful thinking
Hayden
The first place
Hayden
Close-tucked hair
Heart skips beats
Obstacles to cross
Feeling smaller
Known you for a moment
I'd do anything
For you already
Does that sound stupid?
Hayden
The first place
Hayden
Seeing your face
The first time

Screaming
At my skin
To stay on
With your arms flat against my head
Keeping all my thoughts from escaping
And my insides from falling out
Getting
To know you
Better
Than I've ever let myself
Know anyone before
Screaming
At my skin

A sweet dream
Forming
Your warm colors
Enveloping me
Those kind eyes
That move mine
And set the space
Between alight
A tear in time
That words can't find
This slow burn
Has no return
So all my thoughts
Just melt away
And then I know why
These tears feel alright
I don't have anything else to fight
Since you shook away the solid ground
I haven't known which way is down
You stand there
In flowing mirth
There's no one else left
On the earth
To steal this light
Your golden side
That shines so gently
Through the night
So let's fall in deep
We'll traverse the seas
And float above the scenery
Through tear-stained skies
A soft reply
The only thing you said to me
If starlight's just
A flame gone black
Then what will this be
When nothing lasts
Cause sooner or later
You get what you take
And I have nothing else to give away
But you're still here with me
And that's all I know
And I won't go if you don't go
For anything in all the world
So let the mountains turn to dust
As weeks become months
Time can't take away this truth
I'm in love with you
In this life
There is no destiny
No one can truly be free
But if it's you leading me
I don't care anymore
Where I'm going
