It's no surprise,
I liked life better with you,
But what can I wait for?
Let's get together,
We can form a chain.
To bind, to instrument-alize my eyes.
We can talk philosophy in dark caves,
    tinker ... tinkering ... tinkering away at my soul.
And still, I romanticize the darker moments.
What changed?
The freedom to hurt myself.
The freedom to fix myself.
And you don't know that you've reached that point,
Until you are there.
Seeing you.
Senses awakened, I found my way back home.
The only man who could ever impress me.
I'll get high and decide that this desolate life only breaks and forms bruises on innocent thighs,
Why am I in a wasteland?
Can't you hear the hummingbird's cry?
Show me all the wounds that you have acquired, every breath stolen from a throat wrapped in strong hands.

Remain what you are.
I'm tangled in your thoughts,
but I'd rather be alive.

I'm functioning on a new level now,
Just look at me now!
I'm never sober anymore,
because sobriety feels like a high.

I am nothing but my sins,
I am nothing but my sins.

I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss.

Swimming in Nostalgia
You let me carry the doll with the disease
I'll treasure her forever
Drive with me, eyes closed, but it's okay
I think we know where we are going
But suddenly I'm washed with a feeling
an instinct t take a short little glance, and when I do, the bears are after us
Run
Away
Drive so slow
Like a deer in the headlights, but darker and larger and faster
They're after us
Ancestors with angers built up
They know what we've done, and they're coming for us
Take me home, before they catch me

I need to know myself better. It's never known, always a mystery. A manuscript detailing the destruction of the ego. Alive and well. Alive and well. Believe me, I've been there. I've lived in your shoes. That's the life of a variable. A varying entity. You'll never know for sure, that I can promise. This circular reasoning has been driving me mad, and I can't wait to spend an entire night in your arms. More or less, we're stationed in a flawed system of haptics, no desire to break free, no, I never felt the need. Remember when you stabbed me with a sword? And I let it happen, because I thought it was good for you.

I wasn't choosing to live in pain
But choosing to experience the most vibrant love possible,
despite the problems I knew would arise
I've never felt more complete
Than when I am beside you
I've never felt a warmth like your body pressed up against mine,
under the covers in the morning after you snuck me into your house the night before

I am tainted and worn

Grown dead from the longing

You're like honey, my sweet

I'm so drawn to you
