we sent god to his room
he pouts next to the sun
you can see him tear the blinds from the top
if you push the telescope just a little off
tantrum tossing trash the room
grounded now that dad's gone soft
i'm face first in the bed
counting every breath
i like when you're next to me
holding on till we're laughing
show me love under stars
yell my name over speeding cars
don't make me go inside
i'll take all your bug bites
we scratch and itch sing perfect pitch
the wires snap a screaming kiss
my heart stops for the TV hiss

i dont forward my mail
get it sent to the old me
at our old apartment
where we were still happy
i dont forward my mail
i dont pay all my bills
a credit score is nothing
vs the idea of the pills
i dont go to bed now
i stay up the whole night
make a body with the pillows
tear her from the inside
"whyd you have to do this?" "we can still be saved"
i pissed on the altar, where you're begging me to pray
the blood of christ, this box of wine
you're better now
you're doing fine

i got on my knees
different birds, different bees
kindest kiss
the softest sting
you've been everything
i reached to the sun
she smiled with me
beetles all come
they start to feed
put holes in me
put holes in me
i won't bleed
put holes in me

i am the one
she calls her own
i should correct
she feels alone
i balance hearts
i juggle pain
my brain balloons
it's empty space
oh every time
you say my name
it sounds just like
somebody else
oh every time
you feel the same
the disconnect
against the grain
i want to feel
good now for once
i talk it out
i take the drugs
where the sun won't
shine now, the road
submerged, it sucks,
algae and frogs
i want to feel good now for once
i want to feel good now for once
i talk it out i take the drugs
i want to feel good now for once, like my very best is good enough

somewhere in the harmony
patient pretty things
candle wax and comforting
a hard wood floor synapse
and snap and gasp and crack (and grasp and act)
troubled breathing lungs collapse
like circus tents more elephants
hold tighter on the reins
somewhere in the harmonies
blinders off, periphery
the guns of off i bend and buck
try to leave but the door's still stuck on "everything you wanted felt so close, it always does"
i claw and claw and claw and claw
somewhere in the felt i freeze
press dress mess me up i'm free
to hold a pose a statue of the men i'll never be
days of dishes in the sink
i don't have time to feed the cat
but i can pet and pet and pet
i can laugh and laugh and laugh

keep me on your hip
take me all around
i wont bark or bite
i wont make a sound
after all i am a holster
a place for empty threats to sleep
i dont think at first
red is all i see
i just keep on speaking as the words all come to me
the fury it's flourishing
the anger in bloom
i'm a wilted stem that should be cut soon
i never thought i'd be hungover
we only went out in my dreams
mustard yellow screaming
you came back in cursive
cold brew pensive virtue
black belt black shirt black shoes
i want you to want it
i want you to show me
the way that you're feeling
you me and the ceiling
after all i am a holster
a place for empty threats to sleep
i never thought i'd be hungover
we only went out in my dreams

flowers for me
keep forgetting
where nothing else matters
you can be comforting
i cling on don't move
savored seconds you're gone soon
the leaves fall through the grate
and into pipes and into lakes
i feel pale next to you
it never works, i never do

packing tape
03:04
|

|
she talks to god
i don't know why or about what
she's got a sharp mouth
cut me twice now
everything's fine, until we're not
put the coffee table out by the curb
things in boxes separate from hers
it's a quick tomb
close my eyes soon
cats on my chest
in the living room
can i hold myself together with
packing tape?
i need to feel safe
i don't feel safe
in a sterile place now
half our things arranged now
i kept everything prepared for you
we both change our minds
we both go through
the worst of both worlds
different boys and different girls
phones face down when you see me now
i want you to be happy but not happier than me
i guess that's pretty sad, things aren't that great for me lately
