TWO PEOPLE
5/17
I am two people wrapped in one
A calculated honey and a single smoking gun
I carry half of all that you bear
And I live inside a house that we've built and that we share
I try to recombine myself so I'm not torn apart
So I can see a future with a single beating heart
But I get in trouble because you make me leave
A part of me outside the door I don't have time to feed
So please
Leave room for us to breathe
I have two visions in my mind
In one I roam round' England
In the other I am tied
To a ring around my finger that keeps me firmly on the ground
To a life my thoughts get lost in never to be found
But in the other I am lonely and have killed you once again
I'll have freedom
I'll have silence
But I'll lose my only friend
So please
Leave room for me to breathe
And I know I'm young and I'm naive
But I'm standing on the edge
Please
DONT MOVE
9/17
Blankets and beds
I'm still for you
Hypnotized by a headlight
Your headlight
And I don't move
And I can't move
A well lit collision
You take blood and bone
As a condition for soft lighted love
And I don't move
And I can't move
Now in beds I run
My hands critique
Hypnotized by a lack of love
And I don't move
And I can't move
And I won't move
BETTER NOW
11/17
Lonely sleeps with me
I kiss it in the morning
It follows
A shadow
And she was blind to me
She followed
She ran from
Her shadow
And he caught a glimpse of me
But I know he's with another
I followed
Until I was cold
I gave you everything
It sits inside you
It's locked inside you
But you don't want it anymore
Because you don't see me anymore
And so few care to see
But I am better now that you don't love me
Love me
NUMBERS
1/18
Hard to leave a maybe lover
Hard to see anything but you
A quick vacation in the winter left me looking at the mountains
Seeing your ghost in the mountains wondering when
You'd see me again
When the snow is gone in August
Or if you pay the Spanish plaines
My hair will tangle like you promised from sleeping beside you
Your hands in my hair beside you
But until then
I'll see you in numbers my friend
And maybe if we shared a country
I'd make me coffee, make you tea
We'd watch the sun rise over Iceland
And I wouldn't have to cry when you'd leave
So I'll sit in your silence
But I won't wait for you
I'll see you in numbers
Because you're good at straightening them
And I'll kiss you when the snow falls again
I'll see you in numbers my friend
LIGHT
6/18
I, in my mind have a voice that tells me
the eyes that see mine will glaze and roll away
And I, in my mind have a voice that tells me
quiet down girl
you're louder than life
And I see the way that my eyes can darken
blacker in the night
And I feel my body cave in in places
starving for the sight
A view of a road clear and straight
Where the sun can reach my skin
and I'm afraid when I leave that light will fade
Because I feel connected through silvery wires
to your voice in the night
And I feel a hunger for your eyes upon me
The way you look at me like I am
Light
So bottle the bright
that glows orange in the night
I'll keep it close to my heart boy
And I will remember this city
the way that you showed me the
orange in the night and how I
Shine
NEW HOME
(Oh No)
Midnight is coming
Close to the time when
I saw you running out of my mind
Heart is a beatin'
Out of my skin and
Stops when I see what I might have been
Stop me before I go
Lead me to my bones
I can be your home
I can be your new home
(Oh No)
My mind's filled with cotton
The day's pass to quickly
Morning is broken
Midnight is comfort
So bring me your mind
Let straight thinking soothe me
Ill be your comfort if you will be mine
Stop me before I go
Lead me to my bones
I can be your home
I can be your new home (2x)
(Oh No)
(19PM)
BLUE EYES
I've been living underground
I've been looking at the sky and seeing nothing
But a man holding me down
You came and asked me why I lived this way and suddenly
With clarity
I had no reason left to stay
And you took my hand
And you helped me up
Now I can feel the blue sky and your heart under my cheek
And I can see your blue eyes and your hands all over me
In the summer time
Before I have to leave
And I know we are just two circles spinning
Meeting whenever fate is in a funny mood
I know I'll see you soon
I know I will never hear the words you say to me
Silently
In the quiet of my room
At 6 you pushed me down
But you picked me up at the age of 22
And now I feel the blue skies and your heart under my cheek
And I can see your blue eyes and your hands all over me
And I'll miss you
But I have to leave
And I am always a step to comfort
I am always a ladder to something new
I am always a place to hide in
I am always supposed to mercy fools
And I have always been used
But not by you
And I can see the blue skies and your heart under my cheek
And I can feel those blue eyes and your hands all over me
And I'll miss you
I'll miss you
Those blue eyes
Because I have to leave

UNDERTOW
I miss you, my best friend
Gave you up for a swim
Got caught in the undertow
That's alright I like being pulled
Why am I so easily fooled?
Why am I so easily pulled?
Why does my heart still beat faster when I see you?
I hope I burn you like the sun
And I hope you feel the current...
run around your skin until the water touches bone and you will
Feel the same chill that I breathe into my lungs when I
Feel the emptiness that lets me know when I'm alone
I hope you feel the current run
I miss you my new friend
Don't ever wanna see you again
Just wish you'd pick your phone
And tell me you don't wanna be alone
(but you're not alone)
Why do I always assume?
Why am I never immune
To anyone who shows me their skeleton?
And I'll remember you like our sea
I hope you rain down on...
me and teach me how to swim the water thats so cold so I can
Feel some warmth from memory and find the hidden gold and I can
Leave emotion at the door when I climb in your bed
I hope you rain down on me
I hope you rain down on me
(20-21RQ)
RUN ME RAGGED
I wish I was the wind around you so I could touch your body without ever holding me down
I wish I was the wind around you so you could never see me but feel me in your tired aching bones
You run me ragged
You run me dry
You say I use you
I wonder why
(I am constant I am changing)
You wish I was your phone so I could fall asleep beside you and be with you wherever you may go
You run me ragged
You run me dry
You say I use you
I wonder why
(I am constant I am changing)
And I can be whatever my baby wants
But I can not afford to lose anymore of my desert thoughts
You run me ragged
You run me dry
I love you
Why?
(I am constant I am changing)
You run me ragged
You run me dry
I love you
Why?
(21PM)
FIREPROOF
Explosions in the sky
Cars going by and I'm alone
Fireproof, blue
Celebrations seek presentations of love songs
No meaning to you, Blue
I wish they did, I wish they do
Light in the navy
Flowers in the rocks
Gunshots scare silence and leave you all alone
I'm fireproof
The only thing thats good enough for you
Shade made from fake light restrains me
Into a temporary artwork for you, Blue
Light in the navy
Flowers in the rocks
Gunshots scare silence and leave you all alone
And maybe my thoughts will never have a partner
And maybe I will always be a wanderer
But I don't know who I am anymore
But I still think about you
Light in the navy
Flowers in the rocks
Gunshots scare silence and leave you all alone
Light in the navy
Flowers in the rocks
Gunshots scare silence and leave you all alone
Fireproof
Blue.

20.7
I'd like to live in the moment before you wake up and realize you're in the same space
Covered in blankets and warm summer lighting
Before all the sickness creeps in through the shades
And I spend my life in uncomfortable stillness
Hoping my mind won't bring its thick fog
And I hope for something to give me an answer so I know that I am not lost
So I'll house the creatures that come to my window
Listen to what they have to say
And I will be nice to the ones that bring secrets
Even if they are hard to take
Ill hold their words to my broken body
And hope that they heal me and take me away
Ill house the creatures that come to my window
Leave it open
Leave it wide till I break
I wish my feet didn't touch the ground
When I walk on the pavement it rattles my bones
And I wish that love was always beginning
Because what opens will always close
And I wish that I could always feel pretty without ever trying like most people are
But I want to many things to get in this world
Show me what is important and what I don't know
And I'll house the creatures that come to my window
Listen to what they have to say
And I will be nice to the ones that bring secrets
Even if they are hard to take
Ill hold their words to my broken body
And hope that they heal me and take me away
Ill house the creatures that come to my window
Leave it open
Leave it wide till I break
At night when its dark I can hear the birds singing
Like the sun is high in the blue-day-lit sky
And I know someday that I'll feel light
And I'll fly with them into the night
And know someday that I'll feel light and I'll fly with them into the night
