Winter’s finally here
Pack up those summer dresses
You look so fucking cute in
With all those feeling
You thought you had for me
I tried to do the same
I only stuck them beneath my pillow
I’m not ready for this
I don’t know how much I weigh
But I’m sure it’s not enough
These ratios are killing me
In more ways than one
Words sound the prettiest when
There’s no context involved
Meaning and syntax
Beautifully unresolved
I found the deepest truth
Pressed up against the roof
Of your mouth
I can’t let this go now

It’s in the slow exhale
After you say my name
You’re right, I’ll never understand. I’ll never
(I dream that someday I’ll be as tall as the trees)
Lately I’ve become obsessed
With conspiracy theories
And the idea that I can not trust a single thing I see
(That separate your house from me)
“There is a dangerous
Virtue in the word simplicity
And tonight I can understand
A man wanting to die”*
I want to challenge the notion
That we all die alone
When everything you are
And everything you’ve thought
And everything you’ve ever thought
You could be can be summed up
In one simple image
Does it make you afraid ?
Because I haven’t truly slept in months
Once the snow is gone
You only remember how beautiful it was
Magic markers are the biggest letdown
Because under the caps there’s not so much magic
As the essence of kids huffing shit in their parents basement
But that doesn’t stop me from drawing pictures of
My friends and family across these walls
And now I know what it feels like
To truly be alone
And I can’t sleep

Even men without a gospel have their Mount of Olives.
Give me three more days and I swear I’ll solve this
Mess we live in, these walls are my skin
I did my best to give you
Not a house but a home
I’m still waking alone
I’m falling from the twelfth to the basement
Chandeliers on the way down
Remind me of how
Everything that you said
Was only true for a second
Drowning, choking
Screaming and laughing
I’m scared of water like I’m scared of losing
This sense of home
For a bed to spend time in alone
And now I know that I can’t
Give this up
All that easily
I’m just that body lying
Face down in a pool
On your
Favorite, bullshit
Daytime, cop
Drama
I never should have bothered
I’m just biding my time
Still thinking about you
There’s only a
Handful of things
I wouldn’t do to bring me closer to you.
To bring me closer to you
Bearing my soul
In the sand
On the beach
With a stick
And a hole in my heart
I love the way that your eyes reflect the sunrise colors perfectly
This hasn’t meant
Half as much to you
As it does to me
I’ve spent the last six months
Simply drowning dreams
In memories
And it has yet
To make me feel
Any more at home
Or bring you home
Come back home.
Bearing my soul
In the sand
On the beach
With a stick
And a hole in my heart
