made your bed

you’ve made your bed
sprawling carelessly
you shake your head
don’t like what you see
life’s rushing water
dive in, i’ll leave
you’ve made your bed
go to sleep
i’m more than convenient
you’re more than a prick
that’s what i’ll call you when i tell my friends
they’re asking what happened
i’m wondering too
every answer leaves me more confused
really thought i had it right this time
nights in your arms
mornings of pure sunshine
you just ran off
flipped
changed your mind
i’m that easy to drop
who told you to stop
what wasn’t enough
so pretty, so soft
do you like them more tough
do you like it more rough
could’ve told me that stuff
you’ve made your bed
sprawling carelessly
you shake your head
don’t like what you see
life’s rushing water
dive in, i’ll leave
you’ve made your bed
go to sleep

floating leaves
04:24

going on 24 hours alone
happiest in my room
writing songs about you
resentful i’m still giving you my time
at least the art is mine
you can’t have everything
when you talk to me
the words just pile up
i can’t see my thoughts
behind the promises you make and never keep
we’re building walls around
the things we really mean
i can’t see my thoughts
behind your insecurities
i’ll set you free
going on months
since i felt my feet
forgot that the ground held me
to notice the subtleties
watching shadows of floating leaves
still falling from their trees
january breeze
when you talk to me
the words just pile up
i can’t see my thoughts
behind the promises you make and never keep
we’re building walls around
the things we really mean
i can’t see my thoughts
behind your insecurities
i’ll set you free
we’re floating leaves
in this biting breeze

coast in bloom
02:30
|
|||
trying to talk to you about nothing
remember i exist
equally worried that the lack of substance
will change how you see this
can you just tell me what’s up
anything would be enough
we both know distance is tough
can you just tell me what’s good
probably don’t think you should
indulge my fantasies but
i wanna see the coast in bloom
if we tried, we could be together soon
this fog fades
tomorrow you’ll wake to the bay
would you wait
trying to show you that this means something
remember my eyes
equally worried that those couple days
turned memories overnight
can you just tell me what’s up
anything would be enough
we both know distance is tough
can you just tell me what’s good
probably don’t think you should
indulge my fantasies but
i wanna see the coast in bloom
if we tried, we could be together soon
my heart stays
where it finds a place to lay
would you wait

talking heads
02:30

talking heads
they scream so loud
they drag you out
of the bed
can’t sleep when there is
so much to be read
i miss you
it’s my fault too
we’re scared to
turn off the news
quiet dread
you’ll ask for an opinion
i don’t have
what they said
i’ll try to quote
would rather that we laugh
not passive
this just makes me blue
don’t give ourselves
the right to choose
fill our minds
with fighting fools
call it power
know we’re tools
chasing truth
is it worth the view
their anger
bubbles out of you
not yours to carry
cling to it proudly
keeping up
is helping who
keeping up
i’m losing you

fill me
04:14
|
|||
i’m not enough
fill me with stuff, all the way up
i’m not enough
i’ll lie, i’ll pretend this is love
we always want more
screaming out of locked bedroom doors
how’d you find what’s worth living for
i’m not enough
you can be rough, cut through the fluff
i’m not enough
i’ll lie, i’ll reconstruct the front
we always want more
screaming into cold bathroom floors
how’d you find what’s worth living for
don’t tell me this is all our fault
at my age you were happy
we’re young, what’s there to cry about
we really should be laughing
i’ve often tried to starve myself
but lack the self control
my friends and i
we’ve harmed ourselves
in every way we know
i’ve been waiting for the day
i finally find the hole
until then, all i have leaks out
just hope what’s left is soul
so don’t tell me this is our fault
as if i haven’t had that thought
see, the future’s what the past taught
i’m not enough
fill me with stuff, all the way up

dissolve
03:52
|
|||
life underwater
muffled and slow
whisper my name
i love the echo
kids in the pool
we’ll play through the cold
the wind, rushing rapids
out my window
i will dissolve
not rot in graveyards of stale thoughts
i will absolve
the weight that you can’t recall
making mine
let glimmer consume me
my limbs bend and mold
no longer concerned
with staying afloat
i’ll cradle my youth
concede to my soul
deep, i’ll grow stronger
give into the flow
i will dissolve
not rot in graveyards of stale thoughts
i will absolve
the weight that you can’t recall
making mine
