My skin is shedding
My claws are dirty
My home is cold now
So turn on my heat

My Song 5
02:54
|

Meandering around muddled messes doesn’t make them disappear
And stomping steep holes destroys nothing but dirt
So why bother
And can’t you tell from a certain age when all is good and well
I hope I can
I hope I will
And suddenly
All my dreams will come true
But that’s not real life
Wanting something so badly isn’t enough
You have to suffer for the happiness you think you deserve
Is it ever enough?
There’s always someone better
There’s always someone more willing
Can I skip tomorrow?
(Can I skip tomorrow)
There’s no point in tomorrow
There’s no point in that day
I like the silence
I like you anyway
Can I skip tomorrow
Maybe something suddenly will happen

Oh so I started to choke
On the last words that you left with me
And I stay awake for 12 hours
You keep saying that I live in half days
And that a quarter of my life’s already gone
I wish I knew what I wanted
So then I could control what I wanted
I wish I’d started earlier
Maybe by now I’d be a bit better
Late late late late late late late late late late
You’re late again
What’s your excuse this time?
What’s your reason for absence?
I’m sorry, I’ll come up with one next time
And that’s all that I did yesterday so
Don’t be surprised if I don’t get much done today
What’s the point in pointlessness
What’s dull in dullness
I’m so null, unit
And I’m hanging, and I’m through
And if I were a fly
Just how long would I live
Would I last through the day or the night
I better lay some eggs tonight
Tonight
I’ll stop being useless
I’ll start putting half of every paycheque away
I’ll stop picking at last week’s scab
Every single second stabs your spine
I want you to have mine
Good morning
Good evening
Good night

Elbows
05:25
|

I don’t know what to do when I’m not around you
And it makes it so much worse when we’re not together
Half of me tethered I wanna feel those stitches again
And the warmth of your face against mine
I could be naked with you, I could be anything you want to be
But that wouldn’t be and I couldn’t have it any either way
Picture books remind me of you now
I’ve never felt this feeling but I want it to devour me whole
I love your elbows
And the shape they make
I miss your moles
They don’t mind that I’m cold
I miss your everything
And I miss you

I Met You Last Week
04:46
|

I met you last week and I'm afraid we'll never meet again
I was lucky once, but it's over now
Isn't it funny how each day things come and go
You lose a limb then watch another grow
You lost your girl to the howling moon
But golden apples don't fall too soon
This I know
And I'm afraid of what's to come
And it's all pushing me further up the wall
Anytime you call my name, love
I feel a glow deep in my heart, so
And if I find that I'm wasting my time
On another romantic climb
Just to be declined so
Someone tell me why why should I try
Some passerby going to pass me by
Bye bye
My love's a pretty rose
Thorn's thicker than a sunken seeping sister's sorrow
Let me borrow
Your poignant party gown to get my style of a clown further down
Down down
And as far as I can see
You were meant for me
You
Were meant for me
Yeah you
Were meant for me
And if we were split into two I'd be the half that's you

My body is stirring
And yours is cracking under mine
We’re uncomfortable but happy
And sharing shivering spines
Our lips touch and blood rushes red
I’ve never missed someone until I missed you
And I’ve never kissed someone until I kissed you
I love your legs and I love your arms
I need a pair of shoulders to rest my bobble head on
And your shoulders they fit mine
I’ve never liked someone like I like you now
I’ve never adored anyone

I heard the sound it’s just like a hound howling inside a sarcophagus
Or maybe I'm bound to lie with the lopsided love lost with Lolita who leapt on the bus
So please don't apologize
you don't know how many months I've been mesmerized
rattling thoughts wrinkle my brain
inciting all this useless shame
When I come crawling closer
I can feel my heart glowing
Perspiring palms pull
But I can't hold on to anything
I thought that I killed you
And willed you out of my thoughts
Yet here you lie
Holding a flashlight to my flaws
I’m sorry I don’t admire smoking cigarettes
Applying pimple cream perpendicular to my anxious dream and when I wake up they’re still there
Get out of my dreams now
I’d rather have a dozen other people
But when I come crawling closer
I can feel my heart glowing
Perspiring palms pull but
I can’t hold on to anything
And if I could’ve known
If I could’ve known
And if I could’ve known
|

I’m digging a hole
To find an empty bottom
And there’s something staring back at me
And I’m pretty sure it’s you
And if I could’ve known
To dwell in shame stained bliss
Why don't you see me anymore, miss
Like a kinda kindness bargain bin
Bending the warped insides again
And if I could’ve known
Stare and stare
Straining words on thinly strung gum
Digest me
Digest me
Sweat stains seep through my clothes

I Wish I Never Met You
09:27
|
|||
i wish that i never met you
i just want to undress you
you put your finger to my tongue
then said that i am not the one
you left me in our dearest time
you shined a light upon my love
then pulled all the electric plugs
only stay with me if i do enough drugs
she said she's into dealers
and that she wants me to deal
i said that's not me
and that i should be
now you walk me down through all the stairs
there was something strange filling up all the air
a puff of death black smoke
whatever it takes to depress your old folks
well it's over now
because of a mistake i made somehow
it'd be worth all of my while
to turn back the hands on your sundial
she said she's into dealers
and that she wants me to deal
i said that's not me
and then she said that it should be
i want you
i want you
i want you
i want you
there's no way to love politely
there's no way to love quietly
there's no way to love silently
