clear my thoughts before I see you
like I drink water before I taste something new
I'm so happy I found somebody
as open-minded as you
your body language is harder to read
than your terrible handwriting
periwinkle memories
you kinda feel like a necessity
watch me make blue satin white
connect the freckles around my eyes
your sweaters they feel warmer than mine
now I can finally see through a butterfly's eye
electric lines every couple of miles
make it feel like a movie when I look outside
breath is warm lips are dry
only get up when a teapot cries
I know you worry about me like I'm a child
lost in a maze underneath the streetlights
watch me make blue satin white
connect the freckles around my eyes
watch me make blue satin white
connect the freckles around my eyes

the flies follow me in some peculiar pattern
and you kiss me like a current comes in and pulls outward
yeah, the world is big but small enough
to find someone to fix myself for
and I know you think you mean the words you say
but just give it a year I promise you'll wanna go away
and I'll lose you like the thought at the end of a rhyme
that ties my words together and makes all this talking worth your time
and my paperclip knees that hold my stick bone body
together at the seems they know I'm just a fucking hobby
and I know it's beneficial be functional and I try
it's just a little too easy to go home and turn off the lights
and I'll miss you like an ant
would miss his friends if he got lost
in a different colony
where they don't speak his kinda ant-talk
babe the summer has a way of making things easy
but when the winter comes promise you'll make time for me
sometimes I wish we were both more busy
so becoming dependent wouldn't be so easy

seeing myself in third person
must be like watching a bridge burning
while the cars fall in the ocean one by one
I mean logically neither of us could've been enough
I cut off my head to be your height
in the mornings I miss myself sometimes
used to sit on my couch and ask me to knock you out
even my toothbrush would rather taste your mouth
growing out of my life there's nothing I'd rather do
sorry I broke your jaw I thought you wanted me to
we'll disintegrate into who we used to be
and teach ourselves how to only see certain things
I cut off my head to be your height
in the mornings I miss myself sometimes
used to sit on my couch and ask me to knock you out
even my toothbrush would rather taste your mouth

Blue

the blue in the sky pulled the blue from the sky
and I kissed everything I liked about myself goodbye
when the white in my walls saw you kiss my neck
there's a reason nobody asked why when you left
there's a reason nobody asked why
a full heart of lips in a half-hearted kiss
there's a reason nobody asked why when you left
there's a reason nobody asked why

For You

I don't know what anybody needs
I just know I don't want them to leave
and everybody's gonna say what they please
and I'm gonna keep taking it personally
let's get out of this hole together
you know, you've been here with me since I can remember
and I love you more than he ever could
you're the most selfless girl in this whole neighborhood
and I just can't bear to see you so stuck
with the whoo world around you just coming to a stop
so, oh please let me take it from here
and I'll try to numb all this pain that you feel

Dirty Dishes

my mouth tries to open what my body's already swallowed
with my brain tied to paper, this car feels too crowded
and your pity feels like god and I need a religion
I think you and I should talk and make some dirty dishes to clean
who do I even know here?
line my heart on the floor with broken bottles of beer
am I bored or do I really care
am I bored or do I really care
being happy gets boring it makes me feel empty
so I wake up and drive around early in the morning
as I drive my glassy red eyes in the mirror
resemble kicked in headlights
who do I even know here?
line my heart on the floor with broken bottles of beer
am I bored or do I really care
am I bored or do I really care

you look in me in the eyes to tell me I'm behind
I can't be happy for anyone around me
I go numb so I push you away
confined be spaces I create
I'm reactive nuclear when anything about her
comes up between us
and I don't know where it's coming from
my blue feet on the kitchen rug I swear I heard something
static talk with violent saturation
I don't think you even feel the passive nature
I'm reactive nuclear when anything about her
comes up between us, up between us
cause the days end the patterns are gone
the colors are muted and people move on
not even who I used to be likes who I've become
closure isn't real
to forget is to heal
that's kinda hard when I see you everywhere
I don't mind being pushed away
I kinda like the space I create
I'm reactive nuclear when anything about her
comes up between us
and I don't know where it's coming from
my blue feet on the kitchen rug I swear I heard something
but honest pain sees different moons
I calendar days to look forward to
I won't give up

Fool's Gold

you can't discount her feeling you can validate your own
she's watching you while you pay attention to your phone
she's fragile so you feel the need to break her
exactly how you felt when you saw the chandelier
the beauty in those diamonds were like the beauty in her eyes
so ethereal and fragile
that could be so easily shattered
so you should just go and stop mixing her gold
with the fool's gold they sell downtown
for she is perfection, you taught her rejection
and joined the world while it pushed her around
the beauty in those diamonds were like the beauty in her eyes
so ethereal and fragile
that could be so easily shattered
