What can i say
That hasn’t been said
I still think you’re everything i imagined inside my head
How can i change?
I wish i could fit
Im sick of my anxious overreacting to your nervous tic
But i try try try to get it alright
And i dont think i’ll make it tonight
But i try try try to get it alright
And i dont think i’ll make it tonight
i’ll write it down
So that i can get back up
I’ve had enough, and i am beaten
Have you figured it out?
It’s been years and years now
But it feels like it was only yesterday

Honesty, Please

There are words out there/words i can barely speak
I could break your heart now/i could make you up and leave
Should i bite off my tongue/& ship it far from me
I would be a mute/but would it change a thing?
There are thoughts out there/rotting out your brain
You spend too much time inside/sends a sober man insane
Run around town you’re biting out your cheeks
Bet if you bring yourself home you can see that i’m still me
Do you think you could forgive me for the things that i say every night?
Do you believe it’ll change everything when you don’t think i am by your side?
Honesty, please, will you give it to me, so i can just put these thoughts to bed
Ive been faithful to you, so what do you choose? My flesh or these thoughts in your head
These word i said/can i take them back?
I was foolish to assume your heart was made of black
I’ve been cursed before by some cold women out there
They put a cheater in me now i see a cheater everywhere
What did i say about those thoughts that would wreck your head?
Your heart speaks too fast for your mouth to catch its breath
The words that you scream they make my whole world blue
If there’s a cheater in me, tell me what should i see in you?
Do you think you could forgive me for the things that i say every night?
Do you believe it’ll change everything when you don’t think i am by your side?
Honesty, please, will you give it to me, so i can just put these thoughts to bed
Ive been faithful to you, so what do you choose? My flesh or these thoughts in your head
Honesty, please, will you give it to me, My flesh or these thoughts in your head

Your Dependency
04:57
|
|

some days i get a feeling that
my roots they did not take
that i want to change my place
and there are tiny little pieces of me
scattered all throughout the geography
of these states
and what should i do now
i know i’m older but i’ll figure it out
how to pack my bags, how to start somewhere new
but i’ll ride around in these 50 states
or make a home in California
and i’ll watch the sun make sand with the moon
will you uphold
will you approve
just know it’s nothing against you
i know you’d lose it
i knew you’d stop me cause
it’s always about you
some days i get a feeling that
you, you, you are the root
and the reason this place it never seemed to fit
and i can’t stop the frequency
of you and your dependency
on me

Purple House

theres a purple house
where my envy lives
and its growing its garden all day
so i’ll wait for it
to vacate it
before i keep on my way
and the vines it grows
all those weedy things
they’re wrapping me up to my knees
and i have no choice
where my envy lives
in the Purple House with me.
theres a purple house
where i keep my shit
and its burning down to the ground
and i’ll wait for it
to destroy it
before i poke around
and the things it took
all my memories
will they ever return to me
do i need them now?
so long from then?
or is it just my envy i’ll keep.

I wish i knew
How to make it right by you
Give you everything you need
In spite of me
cause i know you don't
Want any little thing to do
With any little thing i use
Or i need
Cause if i could turn back time
I’d try to make it right
What should i do
With all these little memories
You bundled up and gave to me
Should i just throw them out?
Cause if i could turn back time
I’d try to make it right
But the meters ticking down
So i guess i should head out
Please dont say a thing
Your silence is all i need

Hotel

I spent the night at the old hotel
And then i walked home alone
And I spent the night getting drunk as hell
And i still just walked home alone
We danced until the floorboards bent
And then i walked home alone
Got so anxious when the ceiling fell
But i still just walked home alone
And i wasnt finished yet
Should i still just walk home alone?
Can i make a safer bet?
Should i just go walk on home?
I spent the night in the old hotel
Then we walked home alone
We danced until the ceiling fell
Then we just walked on home
And wasnt finished yet
Should i walk home alone?
Can i make a safer bet?
Can we please just go on home?
And wasnt finished yet
Should i walk home alone?
Can i make a safer bet?
Can we please just go on home?
And what do you mean?
When you want to go back home
Cause if you stay and then I leave
Will you ever come back home?
And wasnt finished yet
Should i walk home alone?
Can i make a safer bet?
Can we please just go on home?

Coffee Drip
02:14

I wake up early in the morning
To shake the snow off of my car
And I’ll watch the coffee drip before you realize where we are
i’ll drive you way back east
awake with only the stars
but you’re fast asleep next to me...

what's with the sand filling my shoes
I wish they were wet
With snow
Near you
I wish I could easily make a change
Like how you ran away
And why did I think that distance would change
The way that I spat
And shouted
Your name
my tongue tied my hands inside of your frame
But you stay the same
and my mothers afraid of the places I go
The places I sleep
when I'm alone
the people I meet three thousand
miles away
But if I didn't need you so close to my bones
So close to a place that I'd call home
Id give it all up
My family
My friends
For a taste of some light
but you didn't get it any more
Than I do
I'm so hungry for the push and pull of your moon
I don't get it any more
Than you do
was this love worth waiting for
Me to fall from you
I don't get it any more
