From the Sea

Sometimes I visit the beach in winter just to remind myself that it's still there. I walk out on the rocks as if to dance atop the water as the frigid fresh salty air reddens my cheeks. As the sun sets I take comfort in knowing her beauty remains, even though it is not beach weather, and how even in her offseason there are still a few there to admire her in the silence and stillness of colder times.

Maybe I’m the one who can teach you
Maybe I’m the one who can make you change your mind
Maybe I’m the one who can teach you
At least I have to try
Please understand
I am not demanding
Please understand
I am only giving
Please understand
I just want you near me
I don’t understand
Why can’t we just be
I do not need permission to feel
I do not need permission to be
‘Cause I already am
I already am
I already am
I already am
I already am
I already am
I already am
I already am
And that which fills my flesh
That which fills my flesh
That which fills my flesh
That which fills my flesh
That fills my flesh
That which fills my flesh
That which fills my flesh with nebulas and laughter
Fills my flesh with nebulas and laughter
Fills my flesh with nebulas and laughter
Fills my flesh with nebulas and laughter is the point
The whole point
Maybe you’re the one who can teach me
Maybe you’re the one who can make me see the signs
Maybe you’re the one who can teach me
God, I hope you’ll try
Please understand
I am not demanding
Please understand
I am not taking
Please understand
I am not asking
Please understand
I am just waiting

Over Time

You bear the weight of the curtain crushed beneath its folds
You deny your agony just to keep it closed
But your drama mask is paper
It’s full of rips and tears
Kept mending it for decades
It’s on its last repairs
But your drama mask is paper
It’s full of rips and tears
Kept mending it for decades
It’s on its last repairs
And oh how we can change over time
And oh how we don’t change over time
But what’s unknown consumes you
Be it serene or dark
No you prefer to suffer
Beneath your grand arc
But your drama mask is paper
It’s full of rips and tears
Kept mending it for decades
It’s on it’s last repairs
But your drama mask is paper
It’s full of rips and tears
Kept mending it for decades
It’s on its last repairs
And oh how we can change over time
And oh how we don’t change over time
Oohhhh
Here we are standing side by side
Once again I find myself in this mess
Have I even left those days long ago
When you held my hand
And kissed my cheek
Let my fingers speak
But your drama mask is paper
It’s starting to show tears
Keep mending it for fear now
You’re gonna be left bare
But your drama mask is paper
It’s starting to show tears
Keep mending it for fear now
You’re gonna be left bare
And oh how we can change over time
And oh how we don’t change over time

Like a Royal Reptile

Oh when you kiss me my whole world changes in hue
The sky is no longer blue
It is ruby sunsets all day
And all night how my skin longs for your touch
My fingers reach out grasping at strands
That should be lying next to mine
Oh how I could spend my whole life sitting with you
Under our favorite tree
With a ukulele strumming our songs
Singing and laughing or just laying in the shade
Our time cannot be wasted if we’re finally feeling something real
Royal reptile
Things just make sense in our world
Royal reptile
Things feel so good in our own world
And when our eyes are locked and you begin to shake
The universe is spinning around us in our place under the stars
For hours and hours and hours that are never long enough
Melt into me I need you closer than allowed by our atoms
Royal reptile
Things just make sense in our world
Royal Reptile
Things feel so good in our own world
And if tomorrow is eclipsed like the blood moon
Just know that it is fleeting
You are etched inside my soul behind my ear
And when the brightness has returned to the night sky
I’ll be there with my arms around you
Holding you so tight to keep you warm.
To keep you warm

Into the Flames

The air that night was made of lightning in the smoky twilight
I was absorbing the energy through osmosis
My feet moved with purpose
My actions impulsive
But I do not regret
I do not regret
Do not regret, do not regret, do not regret
Do not regret
The sky divided in two hues
The bottom orange the top blue
And though the moon was not full
It reminded me of you
And all I remember are the stars and the night skies
And the icy blue of your eyes
It’s the icy blue of your eyes
I could not speak ill of you if I tried
If I cared to try
I could not speak ill of you
If I cared to try. If I dared to try
I’m a masochist for your affection
Observing you eases the pain
Brings a smile to my face
All those smiles on my face as I lay in the lemon juice.
My thick skin and my open wounds, laying in the lemon juice, the lemon juice
The sting reminds me of the scratches that you gave me all those nights under glitter skies
The stars remind me of your eyes locked on mine full of affection and desire
That first night by the fire when your
Whole body melted into me
You were bashful at my gaze and I sang to you
And you kissed me to shut me up
And you kissed me to shut me up
And you kissed me to shut me up
Fill my cup, fill my cup overflowing with strength
Strength and emotion
You spoke of such devotion and I’m left a better person for it all
I can’t fall I can’t fall
I can’t fall I can’t fall I can’t fall
I can’t fall I just burn I just burn full of love love love
I just burn full of love love love
I could not speak ill of you if I tried
If I cared to try
You broke my heart, but I’m fine
I’m fine
Deep down inside I am fine
Deep down inside I am fine
That night I sat upon a child’s swing
And swayed to the soundtrack of us
It left something to be desired as the energy calmed
Light-polluted
The night was light-polluted, so I could not see you
You were not here
The swing was not the same swing
My legs were not around you
My lips were not pressed against your skin
But still, there was pretty water
And colorful skies
I danced alone
I danced alone
I danced alone, but a little restored
With a slice of my heart reserved for you.

Out
05:01
|
|||
Out of the blue and into the red
I feel so alive, but wish I was dead
Floating above this slippery slope
I turn to you as my only hope
Out of the water and into the sun
I singed my ribs, until there were none
Skin tanned and glowing, then burnt to a crisp
I can’t see what is there.
Don’t know what this is.
Plant the seeds of peace in my corps
Let those tears roll down bringing them life
The roots, they fill the cracks
The roots, they fill the cracks
The roots, they fill the cracks.
It grows up to the stars
It grows up to the stars
Laced between your fingers
Or tracing your smile in my car
Or as we dance unashamed of our scars
As we dance unashamed of our scars
Pressed together as a guide to our hearts
Our scars pressed together as a guide to our hearts
Out of the mud and into the soil
I lapped my first sip from a river that’s boiled
So very thirsty, yet too pained to drink
How can I go on to taste better things?

To Escape the Womb

Oh i hate these thoughts trapped inside
This body I am trapped inside
This existence I had no say in
This existence I didn't ask for
This existence
And these walls built up so high
These walls, they’re built up so high
These walls
And I throw myself whole-heartedly
And I throw myself whole-heartedly
And I throw myself whole-heartedly
At the other side
But still these words and thoughts that hide the truest form that's free and fun
Keep swirling ‘til I'm undone
Keep swirling ‘til I’m undone
Keep swirling
I do not believe you or trust
I do not believe or trust
I do not believe or trust
I do not believe you
Or trust
How can I with all these particles floating all around in here?
These particles floating all around in here
These particles floating all around in here
A dull ghost a shade of dust
A dull ghost a shade of dust
A dull ghost a shade of dust
Forgotten, I reach out and up
Forgotten, I reach out and up
Forgotten I am swallowed up
Swallowed up
Swallowed up
And I suck the marrow on the way down
I suck the marrow on the way down
I suck the marrow on the way down
The salt nourishes the beggar
The salt nourishes the beggar
The salt nourishes the beggar
‘Til he chokes on his own comforts
‘Til he chokes on his own comforts
‘Til he chokes on his own comforts
Then there's nothing left
Nothin’ left
Nothin’ left
Nothin’ left, nothin’ left
Nothin’ left
Nothin’ left, nothin’ left
Nothing left
Nothing left to give purpose
Then there's nothing left to be
Then there’s nothing left to be
Then there’s nothing left to be…

To Our Graves

Wary of first light
Creeping up my face
Until there's creases for eyes
Leaving no room for hate
Ahhh
Though the flowers have died
Purple like the sun
Tracing across the sky
Just as the day is done
Ahhh
Ahhh
Ahhh
Ahhh
Hear me open in heart
Broken, yet unafraid
Crawling to make art
Where the shatters remain
Ah Ah Ah….
Well whaddya know
Once the moment has passed
It won't be re-lived
That ember can't last
Sure it circles around, it will return
Met with a flame that no longer burns
Straight out of your lips and into my ears
At a standstill paralyzed by fear
Well whaddya know
Once the moment has passed
It won't be re-lived
That ember can't last
Sure it circles around, it will return
Met with a flame that no longer burns
Straight out of your lips and into my ears
At a standstill paralyzed by fear
Those monsters are gonna get you!
Oooooo
Fear me, open in heart
Broken, yet unashamed
Crawling to make art
Where the shatters once laid
I can pull my own weight
I'm as strong as an ox
But 12 metric tons of feathers would need a gigantic box
And there's no way in hell my arms could reach around to carry
All this deadweight I'm expected to bury
But you're fine just keep swimming with that box on your head
Gulping up habits you knew to be dead
But no they're just rolling around in their bed
Laughing at your existential dread As you tread
You can feel it in your gut, you can feel it in your chest
And the only explanation is that you're really very stressed
“But you're so young what do you got to be stressed about?
Life's too short”

Where does the world take you?

Just kidding I don't fucking care

I am trudging through the multiverse
And I'm crawling from our universe
I am trudging through the multiverse
And I'm crawling from our universe
Out a black hole

You never wanted me
None of you ever wanted me
You never wanted me
So tell me, why did you need me to want you so much?

I’m not what you think I am
Even if you want me to be
Even if you need me to be
To put what’s real back in its place
Even if you need me to be to put what’s real back in its place

Instead of looking it in the face

I don’t know what’s worse
I don’t know what’s worse
Have I been forgotten or cursed, forgotten or cursed?
Forgotten or cursed?
I don’t know what’s worse!
I don’t know!
Have I been forgotten?
Have I been forgotten-gotten?
Have I been forgotten?
Have I been forgotten-gotten?
I don’t know what’s worse, what’s worse, what’s worse.
