space issues 02:14
Its been a long time since you’ve come down Its been a long time since you’ve come down How does it feel to realize you’re so sentimental you’re not instrumental to a bigger picture You’re just a fixture Just a cog in the wheel Its been a long time since I’ve not been sorry Its been a long time since I’ve understood honesty How does it feel to hope your loved ones won’t become strangers You’re threads aren’t so tight and you’re Swimming in anger Are we always in danger? Are we always in danger?

bury me 04:08
Bury me in your ostensible sins Like my foot’s on the gas but I don’t know who’s stearing I walk through the crowd like a child on the street Searching for someone’s hand but no hands are reaching out for me Bury me in bodies of other women Values to compare but who wrote the equation? I’ll never forget what you said on the overpass How can we stand to have all this inside of our heads Always so much to say Watch them talk with their hands How do you move When you just Listen

Memories deep everytime I try to sleep I am back there In the bleachers A snocone summer My mouth is full of dirt And you’re rounding second base and everyones anticipating Mouths moving slow and its getting harder to be present Everyone knows when you’re faking it But you’ll still fake it nonetheless Took a wrong turn Now I’m sinking down behind the dumpsters Whats the point of speaking when you’re not heard Its been ten years And you still don’t understand why I haven’t answered I waited too long to come to terms with anything I waited too long now the scores are in and I am losing

pageant 05:19
When we met we were three years younger Charming child-heart mistreated by your father You believed in anything they placed before you I lost track of all the faces that they gave you Ribbons and spins and the room is full Pieces of you and now I am whole Smiles and skin and everyone falls Pieces of you and now I am beautiful When we met we were full of wonder Dreaming roles into the lives of others You believed you could be anything you wanted But What we wanted was so quickly co-opted by the Ribbons and spins and the room is full Pieces of you and now I am whole Smiles and skin and everyone falls Pieces of you and now I am beautiful I always wanted a sister “I’m fine” Anytime they ask you but don’t be too shy If you’re soft you’re asking for it “I’m fine” Couldn’t tell you what is even on my mind Is this even my own body? “I’m fine” Anytime they ask you but don’t be too shy If your soft you’re asking for it “I’m fine” Anytime they ask you you know you’ll lie Its. Easier to just pretend that I’m fine Its easier to just pretend that I’m fine Its easier to just pretend that

Conference time Queue my lines Just tell me how many words I’m allotted for statements Cause I know that we’re always running on your time Try to stay calm When my minds been teetering against the edge And I’m losing my balance between all the lines that you’ve drawn Forget my pretense I am agency running wild on the stage of this fluff performance And I’m all rage Oh, behave She is so poised they say They say so many things after she walked away They say so many things Practice grace for the inverted self in the mirror What muscles are used to be forceful with words To be wise in demeanor I lose my breath Everytime I remember The walls And your eyes And your fists An the way that Substance Is forgotten I am resilience hanging from rungs of a ladder That only seem to go high High High

Ghosts are knocking at the door Lets let them in and get acquainted So rudimentary this becomes When we deny what makes us sacred Oh how I ache to share a bed With you and not be caught between The little things I love and All our other secret occupancies Im so far Into unraveling And its such a shame To cut down the frayed ends Will I be the same? Where do I begin? Ghosts are charging from the door in mutiny to take the helm When I just want the absent rhythm Of my feet on cobblestone And oh, the ache of presence is unbearable in games we play To build up this exquisite corpse dilutes me with each passing day I’m so far Into this traveling And its such a shame How we both transgress Occupants of mine While I occupy this

Driving Late afternoon I thought I saw you You, in the rearview Strolling Down to Las Palmas With my own reflection With your arms around us I want you to take off my clothes with your teeth Maybe I’m just too easy And you’re just a dreamer losing sleep Unyielding year long hotel suite I woke too late to see you leave I shut the door, return the key
