-UNTITLED-

Do you want to go out to the car with me,

Listen to some sad music for a little while?

I’ll let you start a jam, we can turn it up a little,

Not loud enough to wake up your mom.

If you want we can just sit in silence,

Just for a while we can do our own thing.

We can even talk if you want to,

Without turning the volume down.

I’ll tell you my secrets if you tell me your fears,

We can share the ugly things.

I won’t bring it up after,

Or ever again if you don’t want me to.

I just want to go sit in the car for a little bit,

Do you want to sit with me?

-BUTTERFLY-

Do you think it’s a curse from god?

He did this to me because I refused to believe in him.

I didn’t pray enough, I didn’t repent.

God,

I’d be such a good mother.

God,

I’d be such a good mom.

-OCEANS PHENOMENA-

The sea may have washed you away,

But sand always settles,

And I've settled on you.

I’m betting on you.

Waves and waves and erosion,

I can break you down,

Wear you away,

Just to gamble on you.

In five years you’ll still be stuck,

Weighed down to the floor,

Of an ocean so deep,

no one knows you’re there.

But hey,

At least I’ll know,

Because I’ll be there with you.

The captain always goes down with the ship,

And I’ll go down with the promise,

That I’ll never let you go.

-UNDER YOUR SKIN-

Apparently you can’t escape me,

The thing is I never want you to.

I want to be stuck so far inside your soul,

That the idea of tearing me away,

Tears you apart.

I want my claws under your skin,

Bone deep so that taking me out,

Would break you apart.

You want to escape me?

I’ve already burrowed under your arteries,

Inside your veins,

I am your blood.

You will never escape me,

Because we both know,

Leaving me behind would ruin you.

-Undeniable

[letsbelonelytogetherr]

there will always be a calling with your name on it. always. maybe not today. maybe not next week. maybe not while you’re sitting in that uncomfortable posture staring at the your screen, disassociated, mourning the person you used to be at 17, back when the future felt ENORMOUS. but eventually something will tap you on the shoulder and you’ll have the epiphany: a book or a person. some city. could be the literal wind before a storm, a random stranger smiling. a patch of saturated light on the floor.

but eventually something will look directly at you, it’ll hold you by your face and lock eyes with you and in the most electric way possible scream at you: “YOU NEED TO GET UP. WE ARE NOT DONE YET”

-BETTING GAME-

I think it’s kind of like the stories they tell,

The ones about the obsessive artists,

They find a muse and they just don’t let go.

It takes over all of your senses,

One after another after another,

Until it’s all they can think about.

Obsession is a beautiful word, isn’t it?

Maybe it’s just my perception.

It’s always something nostalgic,

Anything to keep me thinking,

That it was somehow greater.

But I guess we all know better now,

We’re all older now.

I’d throw all my coins in just to bet,

That we’ll forget it all one day.

And I’d throw all my love on the table,

Just to tell you, I hope we do.

-HOLLOW EARTH-

Something is missing inside of me,

A piece of me that won’t ever be.

I can almost hear you cry in my sleep,

Your name on the tip of my lips.

There’s a weight on me now,

Something heavy.

But all I can think about,

Is how it should only be you.

Only you should be weighing me down,

And where Mother Earth should be,

Is a hole in the shape of my womb,

And an emptiness that can’t be filled.

Silence that wont be broken with your cries,

But with mine instead.
