you had your hand raised
but then set down the knife.
do you think you love him enough
to leave him with his life?
I quit for you, then I start again because of you
are es
he used to open doors
just to sound the alarm
he used to throw things at me
and write on my arms
so its a handful of sleep for me
before I give in
to my trusty defense
and reach for the whiskey
I can’t help thinking of an ocean more tumultuous than the one we’ve got here. And while I’m stuck in the repetition that once fueled my everydays, I can’t help wanting new lines on new pages and new rhythms to dance to.
its like a punch in the face because I want you...
he comes complete with the world at his feet::he...
you know its true::I could undo what she's done to...
you can't sell yourself as something else::then...
you are the beat I can't stop dancing to::you take...
I don’t want to be the falling star anymore
I don’t want to be the messages that I keep sending
I don’t care that you see me burn through your atmosphere
if it will never be enough to wake you up from your sleeping
I don’t need friends
I don’t need enemies
I’ve got a thousand ghosts
to keep me company
when the sea has risen
and its covered the coast
Ill look back on the phantoms
and miss them the most
what is the sound
the carnivore makes?
its the self same sound
of a heart sighing as it breaks
the sound of you waiting there
for the moon to rise
the smooth whimper humming
of the tears in her eyes
a familiar violent sound
of you lifting your head
to the whisper of a mirror
saying they’ll think you’re beautiful when you’re dead
fountains
you could make me say it
if I was going to die tomorrow
but I’ve been drinking everyday
from fountains of youth and sorrow
you got yrself in there
you worked yrself in there
then say that you cant breath
and who did what with all the air
you blame the tall cans
you blame the suntans
but that look on yr face
when you put it in my hands
we had a few nights
sore like a fist fight
pat the devil on the head
and ask him if he’s alright
you always act like summer
i want the cold winter
i want some ice to...
