Draped in warm light
close enough to feel your breath
Gentle and delicate
my hands around your chest
A blurred edge, your face in focus
Arms outstretched, pulling me in closer
I am nothing
Just a hollow body
And it pours out of me
Can’t you see that?
I can be nothing to you
or to anyone

Hope

Oh, Sylvia
I know why you did what you did
It’s a horrible thing
But I understand it
And Vincent, oh I know
They’re fucking vultures
And I wish they paid for what they did
What’s better, starving or dead?
I guess that depends on how long it’s been
How long can you hold on to hope?
How long can you pretend you don’t know what you know?
How long can you hold on to hope?
How long can you pretend you don’t know what you know?

We sat in a coffee shop
And I drew a picture of us that said:
'There's nowhere I'd rather be but here'
But it's been some time now
I've done some things I regret
I can't stop thinking
About what could've been
Wherever you are now, I hope you're loving your life
Because I'm not sure if this will ever get any better
I thought we had made a promise
But, I guess you found what you wanted
Oh god, you knew me back then
Is there something wrong with me?
I just dropped out of college and I'm thinking about joining the army
My house is often empty and I can't afford to eat
I still wish you'd call
Oh please just call
Oh God just call
Oh god, you knew me back then
Is there something wrong with me?
Oh god, you knew me back then
Is there something wrong with me?
Oh god, you knew me back then
Is there something wrong with me?

Pull
03:45
|

So I'll pull apart my body
You can take what you've wanted
Just throw the rest away
I'm only loved if I'm useful,
is that right?
So polite when you aren't being honest
So kind when you slide in the knife
You forgot to do good when you tried to be great
And somehow managed to become everything you hate
You've become everything you hate
You've become everything you hate

I see it for what it is
And it’s too late to save it
But for a moment
I admire the light
The way it falls
Over your shoulder blades
I will breathe with you sharing every inch
Our hands come apart
Release and I let it fall
I never knew a love quite like this
I never knew a love quite like this

Ocean

I’m not alright unless we’re talking
And at night I pull apart my body
I can’t have you, I know that, so once again
I’ll learn to eat, to breathe, to sleep
When I met you, I couldn’t leave you
Alone and restless, my voice of reason
Resounds in my head; don’t let it stop here
But I am left
sinking in sand
where our end began
and sometimes now I stare into the ocean
and sometimes I scream for it to swallow me
in realizing the best I can be to you
is a part of your decomposing memory
Whether reluctant or unwilling
I will still drown without you
you, oh you

Doubt

Keeping your doubts to yourself
Until her last confession
You always knew you couldn’t give enough
Falling down a well
Because now I know what it feels like
and all the love and admiration that comes
will never be enough to ease the aching in my chest
Falling down a well
Keeping your doubts to yourself
never knew it all could have come around
People like us, the Devil and God rolled into one
Falling down a well
Keeping your doubts to yourself
When she died

For a moment you thought youd found yourself something beautiful
but then you saw her in the wrong light
and suddenly you didnt want her anymore
You're not happy but youve always been good at playing pretend
Searching for an apartment thats comfortable enough to die in
once youve lost your kids
Laid over you is the smell of smoke
The wide eyed kid they once knew is gone
The world chewed a hole through you
The world has taken the grace out of you
Is it worse on my part alone
Does it matter?
I feel it in the right way
I don't mind learning from your mistakes
Ill right your wrongs
I swear ill be better than you were to me
That's not love
That's not love
Judgment and control is not love
That's not love
That's not love
neglect and jealousy is not love
Is it worse
On my part alone
How it shattered
I feel it in the right way
ill find my way out of this water somehow
by drowning me you taught me how to swim
and ill always be thankful for that
Can’t you see it?

Grace
05:30

After the crash, I held my breath
because I was afraid of what I’d say to you
to ease that friction in my chest
I feel restless as our moments pass
knowing these graces were never meant
I told you I was lost and alone
as if I wasn’t just wasting my breath
You'll forget something I said, a dissonance when we lay in bed
blank faces, figures in pretended love
I dont want this to die, just to put my mind to sleep
I dont want this to die, but the unrest is killing me
Lost in a lions den,
You’re my lioness
Moonlit, I saw you undress
We are made from instances
More than what we can understand
Am I apart or am I together?
Tracing lines in your forever
Its the tourniquet on your veins
Its the electric in my brain
its the low hum I wander in
It’s the white capped waves that drew me in close,
turned to teeth to swallow the ship whole
I know, I know you won’t call
I know, I know you won’t call

Promises
03:39

Inventing problems
Making less promises.
pinch their hum in your ear
like a wasp
when will you learn to stop questioning?
You like your friends.
So take pictures with them.
And you wont forget it.
And you'll always know you were never alone
You’re alone all the time
there's a lot to remember.
So when you're dipping your hands in water
remember they are yours
forget what doesn't exist anymore
