last time i saw you, we ran until we choked. i sprang to life to touch you, i prayed i wouldn't go. each day i pass the hours, each thought left unexposed. i drank to be forgotten, i longed to be composed. silent and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting to heal. the silence is begging and stalwart and baiting and taking its time to ration away my will and i cannot see what the victory will be when all of my friends left me, the omens, the crutches, the backwater touches of courage and hospice keeping me awake. and how can you say that things will be fine when you're gone? and how could i belong? you stay then you go and i feel so alone so fast. the breaks in my bones and the breaks in my home are too vast.

my vacant home screams obscene i'll burn it down this halloween we shed our skin, we come alive a pilgrimage, a place to die we can find somewhere new to live you're holding on to what you left i sold my soul to a life of theft our loveless games of want and need celibate names of ghosts of greed we can find someone new to love the night turns slow my frame grows old the evening glow a sluice so cold and i cant tell if i exist is all i see the life i missed? it's all a dream to me
3.
i'm stealing the time i've got with you and reeling seems like all i've got to do cuz my heart throws to all of the winds of everyone else's songs they chose for dealing with their pain. you're hating how we've been here before, hesitating. well, which do you hate more? you're life in hues of purple macabre, unable to stop her, or be refused by every other girl who loves you more? still searching for ties to keep you there. you're hope is perching on the chance that we still care for all your tales of righteous repugnance and straying from foregrounds. if all else fails, you've still got the badge for biggest fake in town.

the light is sliding off your skin. it's been so long since i've been in your good graces and i can sort of taste your love for everyone who doesn't put their hand down your pants. oh, how i wish you would come home to me. the weighty thrull of all things red. keep trying to help me, but i just run instead to all these heavy spaces. i singed your ears on my way out, poured my clothes on and became my dad. i'll always leave ice inside my head, snow between my legs, waiting for things to change waiting for things to change why can't you just tell me how you feel?
5.
stay with me or stay away from me. I can make any words sound true, but why won't you say what i want you to? "i'll still go out i'll still get high without you" let me in (hold me close) warm my feet you see yourself as you were fall asleep and i'll go out, i'll get high and god won't see my soul.
6.
rest restless sleep the air is sticky around me empty are the streets all around i can't leave one person limit miss miss the day i woke in the hall i stay away shed my skin till i'm alone one person limit i've done too many bad things to be proud of myself for anything

i counted all the holes in your house and we had sex when i was by myself i couldn't bring the pillars down that kept you all living successful lives i taste blood in my teeth i almost said, "what do we do now?" before i began to question how it matters what we say or do you live your life, i'll live mine too and we have evil in our mouths i always say what fits me best my words prestapled to my chest waiting at the station, waiting for you to fuck things up so you can love me when you do i drank when i came to the river i drank when i fell into the river
8.
i still feel lucky when i look at the sky and i know that's something stupid to say. i exceed my expectations when i'm held to the flame of vapid aspirations keeping me quite the same and calm. a stagnant state's excused for all. sometimes we hate, it's okay to fall and it's not bullshit if you forget to call me out. you look for support you're walking upon me trying love out for sport spike my whiskey with coffee and i can't think straight i'm spelling the world out for you you say, "do you think so?" but baby what can you do with someone new? i suck in my gut i burn life at both ends i try not to hurt you i'm infinitely thin and i've got a place on my bookshelf for all of the shit i don't write into songs cuz i know that if i did i'd seem okay

i filled out all my curves, i grew into a man. is this not what you wanted? i couldn't make you wait, i came when i was called. still couldn't keep myself hard at all. i want to touch your face, i want you to want me to. cut off my living tension. remind me when to breathe, remind me when to go cuz i can't let myself out alone. indebted to myself, invested in the cause and i'm anxious just to be here. white grease under the floor, my heart is caked with lime, cumbersome and alkaline. i am water color in your hands i am stains of all that wasn't planned cut me open i am filled with mud and i just can't wait to go back to bed

we are we are we are and we never touch never touch down there there is there is there is and there's bottoms up bottoms up to the slow heart of null i'll say i'll say i'll say i want melody melody in the soft space in bed if contractions of your skin were all i were, i think that would be fine
12.
it starts with a bagpipe i'm sorry your dog died and we can't keep food down cuz it's not what we need now you weren't there to catch me when i fell i'll be alright i think you keep your head off of my tracks i won't say no your bones will crack under the weight of distance of dissonance of distance the water runs through you your circuit is closing in black lines and white noise your garden is growing and i'll be alright i'll be all that you ever dreamed
