I smoked my last cigarette
I drank my last drop
Quit doing all the things
That I swore I'd never stop
I changed my direction
Sang a different tune
Gave up all those childish ways
That made me old too soon

 

fuck the fashion of it, dear

 

you made a map of how you loved
and drew a perfect circle
i scribbled a venn diagram
i guess i lost my stable hand
and i am feeling long cold winters
i'm lost and can't remember
the ways to keep myself as warm as then

 

Honestly I can't remember
All my teenage feelings
Or their meanings
They seem too see-through to be true

 

i don't know what i want
what i want's where i've been

 

Things just have to change
My brother, are you okay?

 

In the light of the day, stabilize and reset
and then burn in the image until I can't forget
and end ceaselessly speaking until Nothing is unsaid.
I don't know what I want what I want is where I've been.
In the night will rest you head into my hands
will you disrupt this pattern from starting again?
If I ask you for Nothing will Nothing there stand?
I don't know what I want what I wants where I've been.

 

Say it is the reason, I don’t need it
I don’t need to be safe
Singing isn’t honest, I don’t mean it
I don’t mean to be brave
Either way you are a ghost.

 

some of the best lyrics ive heard

 

Dress it up and make it real for me

Whatever that fuckin mean

 

Can't believe the shit that we were promised
Might really exist

 

won’t take the medication, but it’s good to have around
a kind and loving god won’t let my small ship run aground

 

The kind of thing that hangs inside a moment
A kiss of good that's temperate and golden
That permeates the surface of the woven
And seeps into the piece of you inside of my head

 

Scared to say it
Even to yourself
Am I weak if I want to help?

 

I tried so hard to be attentive
To all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
It's clear, it isn't here where you belong
Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along

You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive

 

Just a simple conversation about nothing much at all
Couldn't keep me in the room, I just kept walking down the hall
But now I understand just what a fool I'd been
No matter what the context, I won't have that time again

 

I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don't wanna fuck it up

I try to save it for a rainy day
It's rainy all the time
Until everything is less insane
I'm mixing weed with wine
Thinking nothing I change changes anything
I won't let it ruin my head

 

do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?

 

I've forgotten what it feels like to feel normal
To be normal
And I've forgotten what food tastes like
The way it tastes right
The taste buds taste right
Well I wake up in so much spit and sweat
It is not normal
What is normal

 

who am i to tell you how to feel your pain?

 

I can live without your touch
If I can die within your reach

 

I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck
Can't feel this way forever, I mean

 

May the roots reach beneath the sleeping street,
station in the riverbed, register what we won’t hear.
May the leaves puzzle out the canopy,
shake and photosynthesize everything we’re sorry for
into one long breath of air.

 

Can you hear me in the air, waking up your stare
Running across the water, building ways to take me there
And that's the closest I could get

 

This drunken body I've left behind
And the problems that are no longer mine
I resided under your broken feathers
For too long scraps of pictures in a box
Is what remains of those childhood dreams
You'll never know, The person I've become
