Out For A Swim

I see your colors in my sky today, vibration numbs my feet. You asked all that you could from me, and I let you down so easily. In dreams that you would drown me, I'd be hanging by my feet. My lungs took the air for granted as they gave unto the sea. To this day I call your name out, you're the only one who knows, just how real for me this pain is, just how deep the sickness goes.
So I stepped into the water, begging vastness from the sea. And I know you loved it there, but I don't ever want to let you go. I lay you down now, water stifling your screams, pray to anyone who's listening. This is always where you needed to be.
I started off as nothing, and I'm scared I'll always be. As concise as my resolve I'm still so easily deceived. The bitterness it changed me. And the loneliness it haunts, every restless toss and turn, every fucking waking thought.
You glisten like a goddess. You take me like disease. You tremble like the Earth beneath my feet.

Unsaid

Let me see your arms, what have you been doing to yourself? No need to be alarmed, I'm only here to fucking help. But maybe later on fame will take you far from home and you'll forget about my voice and all the words about you in my songs. Forget about me.
I love the way you wear your frown to bed, and draw back all your curtains in remembrance of your dead. I love your pride, I love your pain, I love the hateful words you say. I'm addicted to the sound of your breathing.

Convocation

A hopeless spark in a heavy rain. I've talked to God, I've learned everything. And when I woke I looked the same, and when I touched myself, I knew I could never change.
If all you want is my eyes, I don't think I can spare the time. Prove to me you're ready to see.
Afraid to love, afraid to speak. Open up your chest, pull out your heart, just to feel it beat. When I'm alone, I feel it creep, a fear that my blood running through my veins weighs more than me.
Prove to me you're ready to be sitting like a stone getting ready to sink into the Earth beneath. Singing every note like you hid them under soil and dirt for me. Waking like a God come to find that the world he made is gone. Trying not to prove to yourself that you did it all for fun. Shaking like a leaf bout to fall from the life it knows is done. I know my life is done. Are you better off alone?

Hungry For An Anthem
02:24

You wake up hungry for an anthem, but you'll settle for a couple lengthy words. So pour one out for all my dead friends, if you can see me from the afterlife, try to give me some kind of sign that you're safe, safe in your grave.
I let my mind control my thoughts, a grandiose mistake. Attachment feeds the flame. I'm not sure who I've ever been, and who knows what I'll come to be.
Why don't I feel alive? Forgettable words are just wasting my time. No, I'm not afraid of being alone, but every day I wake up in my bed and my room never feels like home.
Never feels like home.

Conceptually Empty
05:34

Whatever you're giving to me, sure feels like sympathy. I don't need it from you, I need it from anybody. Honestly.
I'll never be the person you're looking for. Accusatory love puts the guilty in pleasure. And I'll never say the words that you're looking for, you're so wise beyond your years. Fuck it, I am too.
You think you should get a pass, from all the bullshit and pain in your past. As if you're the only one. You're not the only one.
Happy to be empty.
If I didn't break this, then why should I fix it? Let me lie in my own grave, make up my own bed, and try to fall asleep in it.
I'm so happy to be empty with you.

Momentum
03:23
|

|
I had a feeling it was all a joke. Can't wait to see it in your eyes. Who knows? We're so young.
I'm not gonna kill again, while there's blood still on my hands, while there's still unfinished plans. With all of this momentum, you can't stop now.
I saw beauty in your eyes. Felt heaven on my tongue. You could never stop, all of this momentum. As hard as it may be, it still somehow feels like home to me. But you need to let it be.
Who told?

Worry
05:12
|

|
I want your soul for my own. I want the thought of me to grow like a fleeting glimpse, an endless whisper in the back of your head. If I remain unseen I cease to be. I'll fade away like a waking dream. But I hear now protest, you might as well want this. I can't give you any gore if I turn out to be gutless.
While you're worrying, I've got other plans, to sit in silence, it's hard to tell if you've won or if you just have the upper hand. I'll take your life again. I'm the needle in your skin. Made to be broken, I'll never leave your side or ever make you feel this good again.
I feel like enough in a pool of my blood. I saw you for the first time after 22 months, I was beaten and bruised, pulled into your ruse, spit out by your perfect mouth.

Feel Everything

How many days will you stand by my side? You'll have to find all the places I hide. I gave myself away with my heart's beating. Will I stand alone?
You'll feel better in the morning. At least I always do. Until I leave you like a corpse in my bed. At least I left you.
Cold, alone, afraid of these shapeless things in my dreams. I could be stoned, at home, counting my blood. One pulse for everyone I've loved.
You never expect the days I start running. Do you still think I'll be coming? I'm choking on the words of our last goodbye. I think I see you in my sleep. I'll see you tonight.
You'll feel better in the morning. At least I always do. Until I leave you like a corpse in my bed. Well at least I left you. But the room was still dark.I couldn't see your eyes. But the room was still dark. I can barely feel your heart.
