all things end

holding on to my hope
tomorrow won't come
i grab my shoes and coat
i grab my gun
holding on to my hope
tomorrow has none
i can not trust myself
the ground itself
shall open up
the satellites
shall come crashing down
and all things will end
soon enough
i can not do it myself

your book
03:28
|
|||
|
i keep trying to let myself down
from wherever this is
big gray cumulous clouds
and the change in their shape
your book is as open as ever
and even through this weather
but apparently
i can not read
it feels like home
no longer alone
i keep my fear of downtown
no longer at task
i don't have to go there
but whatever your ask
i see shapes forming there
this one's a square
i see water rising
and rising more
your book is as open as ever
and even through this weather
but apparently
i can not read
it feels good
and i knew it would
i think i can lie
but i don't know
something stuck inside
and i think it shows
so i will write you a letter
and it might take forever
but apparently
i can not speak
there is a hole
and i know
so i will turn this page
and do whatever it takes
your book is as open as ever
and even through this weather
but apparently
i can not read
it feels unknown
i am alone

when i'm dead
06:15
|

i don't do anything i wouldn't do
and i couldn't do anything new without you
i've never said things that i couldn't say
and i know i struggle everyday too
someone has your information
going from door to door degrading you
selling items that you've collected
that someone else has neglected to
and i know i need a partner in crime
but lately these feelings are so hard to define
i can feel the notches in your spine
i fear every single thing but time
i don't wanna make plans without you
and i hope you know this the honest truth so
please think it through cause without you
i can't think of a thing to do
please really think it through because when i'm with you
i can't thing of a single word to use that's true
always afraid of what to do
i'm faced with issues that are all brand new
but i know it's not all brand new for you
if i could ask you know i'd never follow through
and i know i need a part of someone's life
to see face face value what i've left behind in mine
i can feel the warmth began to spread
i only want to be cold when i'm dead
i don't do anything without you
or the thought of you pervades and this is true
all the moments i am alone
you sit at home and i am right there too
i think its awful that i care
to bring you everywhere to carry you
and off to grave, i spent my days
lamenting but here i bury you too
and when i'm dead you still fill my head
but part of me says i'd be warmer without you

self surgeon

i don't want to leave a mark
if i dig into my heart
if i drill in through my chest
could you be the one to stitch it up?
i don't want to leave a hole
but i just want to know
what's really inside
would i be the one who cries?
i don't wanna hide a scare
and i don't want to feel the shame
but i just want to know
why does it call my name
still
peel away the bark
stab into my arm
let you see
look what you did to me
i don't want to be apart
and it's getting very hard
to believe i don't deserve it
and even beneath the surface
never thought i had the guts
but now i wanna know
what else would it take
and do we feel the same?
can you be the one to stitch it up?
and i to scream in pain
look what you did to me
and do we feel the same
still
dig into my heart
create every scar
let you see
look what you did to me
like writing poetry
with one stroke
like my own surgery
with one stroke
deep in thought
i think of the draw of blood
but let's just talk
and maybe i could open up

i see the comet
04:22

i see the comet
i feel the fear
what's that through the trees
these apocalyptic dreams
could never take me from you
like they want to
i see the comet
i feel the fear
might not see next year
so come on over here
i'd never say such a thing
but time is slipping
i know it's coming
but i feel the same
what's on your mind today?
these images appear
of not a soul here
and peace replaces fear
i see the comet
i feel free
but my sorrow stays
for these empty days
could never create
any other way
i see it coming

our evil backstory
05:53
|
|||
|
don't let your hand even graze me
if we can't agree
agree to a meaning
i need you to trust me
i hope you believe me
and i need you to hold me
i will never see
deep enough through
the murky lake
we both once knew
but you must have sunk deeper
deeper than me
and i can't perceive
what i don't see
now i hear your laugh
i see your smile
i feel ashamed
i will never surmount
to anything less
i bob up and down
and i float on my chest
i need you to hold me
and cut it all out
i sink to the ground
i feel like a villain

everything takes

god damn
why can't i have
what you have
i must be less of a man
god damn
i should have never began
should have ran
stopped when i had the chance
i must be less of a man
and i am
but i think i can
be that man
but you must need more than that
god damn
sometimes i hate what i am
what you have
is more than i ever did
what gives?
when everything takes
i must have made a mistake

set me on fire
04:12
|
|||
|
even this is enough
you left me singing
all the normal stuff
but now with meaning
i can feel like i do
and i have been
but that won't change you
and it hasn't
and i think of the past
and my weakness
but i breath at last
and incomplete
this reigns true
torturous desire
ruins my time with you
sets my brain on fire
i have roamed the earth
for what feels like forever
i am nothing now
and i was never
it's ended now
like all things should
desperate times i've called out
heard back nothing good
silence in return
burns like a hell
and i was quiet as well
but you know i could never yell at you
this reigns true
torching this desire
burning my days with you
so set me on fire
