secretly leave the coffee shop
walk the avenue
make our way to the beach
your head resting on my knee
pretending to stare out at the sea
and i don’t know where anything goes
i don’t know where anything goes
i don’t like the weekends like i used to
show me all the weakness that i show to you
because i don’t know where anything goes
i don’t know where anything goes
there’s a man above us watching you perform
i bet he feels so alone

palindrome
04:05
|

|
start the day off with a weight
and stomach pain
turn away
a simple call for subtle change
but every day
feels the same
come to life
valentine
and walk beside me close
come to life
little thoughts of mine
the ones that i love most
i’m walking in circles where my dad
used to stand among the plants and
they’re growing taller than i can
up the wall
over the fence
my hands are high
they grab the vines
and begin to climb the post
why have i begun
where i started from
it’s a palindrome i wrote
i want leaving to feel like
i’m coming home
so i’ve gotta try
i’ll try
i promise to try
because with you and i
in the night
i feel fine
with just you and i
in the night
i feel fine

porcupine

you lost your dog in oceanside
skin as sharp as a porcupine
why are we so mortified
to give it another try
i see you in your mother's eyes
my skin is sharp like a porcupine
why are we so mortified
to give it another try
i don't care
i just want to
i don't care
sleeping in the garden
drinking on the weekend
cover me in blankets
hold me like a secret
standing in the kitchen
everything is broken
wonder what's behind this
door i never open
everybody's watching
no one pays attention
i don't think i'm sick
but i think it's an infection
everything's a pattern
living is a sequence
drowning in a tidepool
kiss me in the deep end
but i don't care
i just want to
touch your hair
and be beside you
i don't care
i just like you
i'll cut your hair
i'll run away with you
you lost your dog in oceanside
skin as sharp as a porcupine
why are we so mortified
to give it another try
everyone’s so mortified
to give it another try

colosseum

put them up
put your hands up
lift them up
to what you can't touch
in a colosseum
full of weapons that you chose
were you defeated
by a shield you wouldn't hold
i want to protect you
when your hands are turning cold
but i don't think that it's my place
to invite you to my place
anymore
your body knows
the secrets that you never told
they're in your thoughts
i feel them every time we talk
in a colosseum
full of weapons that you chose
were you defeated
by a shield you couldn't hold
i want to be fine
knowing everything i know
but i want to kill him
i'll fucking kill him
if you don't

simple as snow

get through the day
to the other side
to another night
and when you run away
do you close your eyes
and pretend to fly
is it just me or are you ready to go
it's ugly and old
i'm taking you home
trust me i think you're ready to go
you're trembling cold
like never before
i don't know which way to go now
i don't know which way to go
empty pockets, empty friendships
everyone is on their own
i don't know which way to go now
i don't know which way to go
empty pockets, empty friendships
scrape me like an empty bowl
what a breakthrough
you're as simple as snow
there's some on your nose
i'm taking you home
i hate you more than you know
you've broken my bones
i love you so

i don't know why

stare at my reflection
and hope it comes alive
i think that i can see you
in my eyes
terrible intentions
from beneath an open sky
now i’m too scared to be here
in the night
it’s a harmful life
i apologize
but as long as you try
i’ll try
i don’t know why
dreamboat
weed smoke
you sleep close
i don’t know why
freak show
in sheep’s clothes
i speak slow
i don’t know why
peach tones
weak bones
you sneak home
i don’t know why
heatstroke
deep throat
my teeth broke
and i don’t know why

chamomile

great, isn't it great
to be held like your sister's baby
hate, you said you hate
when i just lay there like an empty body
but i don't listen and i don't care
i don't like it so get me out of here
i don't listen and i don't care
the smell of smoke
the taste of chamomile
i don't listen and i don't care
i don't like it so get me out of here
it's all so distant and i'm so scared
the smell of smoke
the taste of chamomile
oh no, think i'm in trouble
ten long years inside of this bubble
ha ha, look at him struggle
fuck my mouth and feed me your knuckles
oh no, everything crumbles
you found me inside of the rubble
ha ha, look at me struggle
begging for help from someone who's dead
i'm trying to decipher things that you said
but they only exist inside of my head
so no, i don't want to be calm anymore

wake up tired
sometime before noon
it’s stuck on my mind
something i told you
i’m sorry that i do
things i don’t want to
do you believe in love
it feels like a memory of a cher song
do you believe in love
i’m scratching my eyes out
come over to my house
everything’s empty
i am a part of what you lack
tell me i’m crazy
put up a wall i cannot pass
do you believe in love
i want us to listen to that cher song
do you believe in love
i’m scratching my eyes out
