my first one in the old thread

 

This isn't the adulthood I thought I wrote
And I never see your face, but I just might be okay
Because I have no eyes, I have no love, I have no hope

 

the icons cluttering your bureau
are eyeing me as I walk in
your guardians are present in here
and I trust that they have always been
hiding somewhere in your closet
collecting moisture from your face
your secret world speaks without words
and I feel clumsy and cumbersome in this place

but if I want them too will they speak to me soon
in a language ripe for my listening?
when the harsh sun breaks in your stained glass eyes
the refracted light keeps glistening

 

i love that you knew what this was from haha

 

ow long will i wander by your side
how long will i wander?
i wonder if that's what it might feel like
i figured i'd warn ya
i am out of my god damn mind & out to california
follow along the dotted line with
with arcs of our blood

 

They say that anything can be replaced
Found another girl to pass the days
She is beautiful, she has your face
There is nothing time will not erase

 

Yes I know that it's too late
and Love, you know I'll never say it
so I'll pour my heart out in a verse
hide it away so you can't break it
and I'll wonder if you wonder
if we could've got this right
lonely hearts all have their secrets
and yes, I still miss what could've been tonight

 

someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
with lack of memory I fail to question why
with perfect sound you bring me down hey I'm not listening
you're through killing me with all your facts and late night therapy
like "Paul’s Boutique" on empty streets parked and
waiting for lights to turn on for the good luck
and drunk on your parents' favorite wine

all the things I remember
were they worth writing down?

 

watered by the blood of martyrs
blessed and blind as sons and daughters
sleep with one eye open
and live with both eyes shut
so let's find the place where sight begins
and see the things that we saw when our
eyes were bright and wet against the light

 

If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home, oh, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you

 

Suddenly lost inside a fantasy
Everything not quite what it seems to be
Slipping and falling through the looking glass
Catching a glimpse at all that lies behind the masks
You disappear with the dawn
You only see what you want

 

If you could save yourself,
you could save us all.
Go on living, prove us wrong.
Your leap of faith could be a well-timed smile.
Survival never goes out of style.

 

I asked Hank Williams "How lonesome does it get?"
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.
But I hear him coughing all night long,
100 floors above me in the tower of song

 

Tonight, they're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light
And blinding our hearts with their shining lies
While closing our caskets cold and tight
But I'm dying to live

 

You can run away
Take a moment to see, a moment to be
All the things you need
This love isn't over yet
I will run away
To the mountains and rain, the sun in L.A
Away for another day
We can begin again

 

You’ve made a lasting impression
And if it doesn’t feel right
Then I just can’t go wrong
I’ve been sleeping with the lights on
So if I wake in the night
Your picture is clearly in sight

 

RT RT RT This is mine for today too

 

When this began
This was a thing
That we could both share

A bit of shame
The goodness fades
And we’d begin there

 

So just try and tell me what you need,
you gotta try and tell me what you need
try and tell me what you mean
you gotta talk to tell me what you mean

Know I will be where you are
In truth, in life, in death, in light and dark
I will be with you

 

Love you in a panic because I prefer to sit on fences
Spit-kissing on my sickbed
I'm not searching for replacements
But we are like broken instruments
Twisted up and wheezing out the runnels
Sleepless folks watching light grow
Through their early morning windows

I don't care, I don't care anymore
I don't care, I don't care

 

When last I saw her she was dancing all alone
Perhaps my chance was then, I'll never know
I'll search the world until there's no place left to go
And if she leaves it, I will follow, yes, I will follow
She lit a fire and now she's in my every thought

 

"Everybody's hurt and mine ain't the worst. But it's mine and I'm feeling it now."

 

If I say that I'll go
Regardless of what you want me to do
I'm better off without
I'm better off without you
If I change my mind it won't be soon enough for you
But I'm not you

 

I wanna smash your fears

 

i dont know what to tell ya
shit's been really fucked up lately
i dont wanna fuckin die
but i dont really wanna live
matter of fact to the whole concept
im pretty indifferent
