Unsafe

It’s been so many hours since I left your home
I saw a hesitation as you rendered the thought
I’ll test you on it later from the notes on my hand
It’s only human nature but it’s all that I’ve got
Someday you will believe me
Someday you will release me
But you will not be safe

Cease to Exist

Watching you appear from inside the house
(Then) Amuse us all before you stow it away
I hear that you’ve consulted an expert that
observed the dead and then forgot all the work
I hope that you’re awake cos they need you now
They need you now more than they’ve ever before
I thought of you as having a doctorate
You say the words, abbreviations,
but you don’t what for
It goes dark
I’m watching my teeth fall out
And punching unfamiliar ground
Like light through a table
Watching this expand outside the town
(The) affusion’s off so drain the fluid away
I see that you’re applauding with separate hands
A future safe now there’s a theory to learn
I hope that you’re awake cos I need you now
I need you now more than I’ve ever before
I never thought they’d see you so desperate
You’re saying words, abbreviations,
But you don’t know what for

Mouth

Tell me when your teeth come through
And maybe we can work it out
Smoke it til the skin dries through
It’s all that we can talk about
I sold my seat at the back of the bus
A trip across the seas couldn’t solve it for us
Cos you are what you are
And that’s what you want
I don’t understand what to do with it now
Words are getting stuck on the roof of my mouth
You survey the house while I study the sounds
All the ones that change with the shape of your mouth
Cos I don’t understand what to do with you now

Fears

When the tiniest reserve’s
barely enough to entertain
Doesn’t matter to me
I’m keeping warm inside the house
(cos) Sheltering under fallen trees
Wasn’t something I cared to repeat
But I’m dying to meet you
Is it sad that I’ve forgotten how
to make my body move
Another year and I’m nothing more
Than a stranger in the dark
How I miss it now the slightest sound
Could lead to an episode
Sitting quietly in the van
Watching the changing of the guard
Doesn’t matter to me
Doing homework in the park
Smiling politely as you cry
I just hope that you kept the receipt
But they’ll try to believe you
I have a fear of the unknown
and that’s alright

Every little thing, inside and out
Cast a focus on the season
And the arguments I forgot about
Every little flaw we stopped to expel
Gave new life to all the habits (but)
With a sting from the pain that
You and I felt
Turn it back around
And dust off the shelf
Put a pin in all the questions
You were always afraid to ask yourself
Three or so years now we’ve known it too well
Give a chance to all new habits
Take the sting from the pain that
You and i felt
I cast a line upon the sea
It fell so short of everything that
You could ever need
Now we’re walking away
But I can remember why
As I’m watching the plane
Burn across a neon sky
We’re two of a kind
Born into a different time
And if I leave you here
It might just save your life
The train is boarding now
And here’s your ticket out

Swim

Think about the age of the oath
And keep it to hand
Must have been waiting for the extra room to expand
Watching our existence as it now descends into farce
Everything changed when you told me it wasn’t a joke
still I laughed
I’d walk across a bridge so I could reach you
They really hope to see this through
I’ll fall apart before a path can be exhumed
Think about the cages of youth
And ask what they’re for
Does it raise questions or is there nothing to report?
Take a big gulp of the air, it’s easy to swallow
Everything changed when you abandoned all of the
Senses that you know

You’ve got an axe to grind
There’s a place in town that haunts me
It’s true, setting fire to it earned
a death before you warned me
Their grue trickles into the forest
(where) shallow is the whole stay
Pelican Pete
You’ve gone too far this time
Pelican Pete
You’re out of your mind
You’ve got grave defined
In the shadow of the arcade
It’s all we can offer you now
As a memory of the old way
Your blood barely filled up the bath
Now as shallow as the first day

The Skin
04:29
|

I don’t think we talked enough
Nothing from your mouth for several months
Saw you in a purple cloak
bleed from the inside for those you love
I’ve always been an animal
Destroying everything you own
I can advocate for secrecy
And take it to the throne
I’ve a solution, don’t call the police
Stay in the circle til no one’s breathing
I see no reason to be indiscreet
I don’t think you’ll feel the punch
or feel it as it burns inside your guts
when you’re bleeding from the inside
for the ones you love
I see no reason now I’m staring,
cold and locked,
at the bottle with you
I see no reason to be
When my skin is my skin
And I can’t seem to handle it
My skin is my skin
But I’m not equipped to live in it

Used to It
04:15

I caught my foot inside of a wheel
and watched all the toes getting broken
I never thought you’d want to draw this
out of the vein
But it’s obvious I’ll never learn
You were perched on the edge of a log
And gave me a book that you wrote yourself
It’s 350 pages I’ll never read
But it sure looks good on the shelf
I tried weeding out the feeling
A subtle grip without a meaning
There’s water coming from the ceiling
But we’ll get used to it
I caught you laughing in the wrong way
And left you stranded in a free bay
You never thought it mattered anyway
And you’ll get used to it
A product of arresting appeal
A branch from the tree that you swung from
A full blown burning at the back of my throat
Wouldn’t keep me from moving along
You were hanging on to this by a thread
And shot me a phrase that you coined yourself
It reeks of salty wisdom and unhealthy contempt
But I don’t expect anything else
