just so we’re clear
i would miss every party i ever got invited to
i would sit on my porch till mosquitoes devoured my body whole
i would let my sister berate me for the plugs in my ears
till i wanna disappear
you know i would
i would ruin tomorrow in the darkness of the night
i would go till i have to shield my eyes from the morning light
i would spend all of my money on the things i could send you
joke about the drive you could make and pretend you would
- ’cause you know my mother can’t parallel park
- so i look for a sun in the stars
- keep a tab on the message they sent
- in a place where you’re adjacent
and so i swear
i will lower my arm when i feel it pushing closer in
i will keep it in mind that my mind is only where i’ve been
i’ll forget the feeling of feelings like a drug flowing three ways
nothing ever stays anyway but this time i could
you were always there right next to me life next to me
i will always be right next to you life next to you

(As) Far As I Can Go

I remember when it used to be grey & lonely
Now it’s just another day in color all alone
If you asked me for a word to describe this feeling
In 20 years or more I’d tell you come back here you go
- It feels like I’ve gone as far as I can go
- And I won’t know until it’s done
- It feels like I’ve gone as far as I can go
- And I will never know who’s won
You can tell I’ve started using your words unthinking
All I wanted was a flame to entangle with my own
It’s so easy to forget where I’ve been & came from
All the time & work & suffering that doesn’t show
I would try to wake up when the morning comes
For a while nothing would slip through
Doesn’t feel like I’ve reverted anywhere
This is something painfully brand new
Oo oo oo
I hope I get disproved

You’re trying your best
There’s things you don’t know
It’s not like before
The matinee show
Now you only ever go there
One of 52 times a year
Too fragile to speak
You think it’s on me when you go home
And stay there
That’s not how this works
You’re damaged and sore
It feels that way now
But it was still true before
But now you put away that headband
Luck can only take you so far
Too tired to breathe
You think they’ll all leave you alone
If you just go home
And stay there
One slips away and that’s two calls today
And there’s three the machine is just keeping at bay
So there’s four lost tonight and that’s five days for life
And you’ve run out of fingers and run out of time
I’m sorry baby
I’ll never make the same mistake again
You’re my only friend
Till the end
Don’t you know
I love you angel
I’ll never leave you on your own again
I’m your only friend
Till the end
Now I know

Anything for You

We could be friends
I’m what you need
You’re what I need, we’re both still here
We’d get along
I’m just like him
And just enough like you to make it all so clear, all those years
I want to not be alone
I want the world to not be over
It’s not your fault that you don’t know
But it could be my responsibility
If you let me
- I’d do anything for you
- I think I’d do
- Anything for you
So here i am now
A part apart
The distanced cry of one whole half [:)]
Feeling deranged
Like life forgot
And they’ll believe anything that i say i meant, not just that
I’m not expecting the world
I only wanted us to save it
Sometimes true love is letting go
But i’m not ready to give it up yet
Do you get me
What’s the point in hiding
How many times have I tried
How do I make you aware of me
In a way that matters
We were so close this time
So close this time
/
We were closer
/
We were so close this time
You could’ve saved me from this living death that is non-life
