cloudy, like your head
03:07
|

you planted wild yellow flowers in your garden one day
and watched the summer heat turn it all to flames //
and they wanted you to so badly pick them a bouquet
but the fire was spreading
you said its too late now, but I will be back one day, someday //
it's cloudy like your head and you don't want to go outside
everybody's pushing pills, but you're already high //
it won't make you happy just 'cause it won't make you sad
you don't need the answers to the questions that you ask
get out of your body
it is only going to hurt
if you keep on trying,
one day you can leave the earth //
I'm here to clear my head
my friends are dead
I didn't like them anyway //

you are in need
of something quick and cheap
to cover up the blue
we are 500 miles away
but I am sitting in your room
I love
the torture of
the movie I keep
watching in my head
but that is not reality
those characters
are dead //
I still sleep with the lights on
I still check under my bed
regression is my only method
of self defense
I'm scared of the dark
knowing everyone else
in this time zone
is unconscious
except for us //

objectified,
i was your piece
of art to stare
at and critique
puzzled look,
squinted eyes
trying to find the ways
in which it won't comply //
so I went as far away from home
as I could go
but you won't leave me alone
you won't //

accidents

it's hard to structure sentences
it's harder once you've got it down
and practiced it,
it's harder just to say it //
it's easy to smile
when you have to
around people
it's easier to walk away
when you realize it's never going to be okay //
so you ask your friends, what do you think?
they say do what makes you happy
so you drove all day
and you drove all night
to see if
maybe you might be
somewhere else //
hands touching hands passing cigarettes
it’s all probably all just an accident //
so you ask your friends,
what do you think?
they ask you if you're happy
you tell them
maybe you might be
from somewhere else
it's all probably all just an accident //

reconstructed

|

I've been living in a lot of places
I don't ever want to find a home
I've been seeing familiar faces
reconstructed with a different ego
we can talk about the changing weather
if I ask to use your lighter,
can we smoke together?

relics
05:29
|
|||
memories last as long as the relics
you keep attached
until they fall out of your pocket
and are forgotten
like my name carved in wood,
hidden in a crevice
a forgotten passenger
you did not notice
that watched you cry as you drove away
the only souvenir to hold my name //
did you throw it away?
did you throw me away? //
I still have your favorite sweater in my car
it's getting colder, you might need it where you are
I've gotten better it's just been so fucking hard
if you're listening, I wish you weren't so far
