my soul dressed in it's best sunday woes
sometimes I feel like I'm getting better but, honestly, who knows.
have I seen this place before?
or do they all start to look the same when you've lost sight of who you are
and you've forgotten your name
who was I before?
would I care to know?
who can I be moving forward?
would I care to know?
I just need a way out of myself
I just need a way to be somebody else
even just for a moment
oh please, let me eat my humble pie in peace
this trip's been way too long and I've lost my keys
have I seen this place before?
do I finally give it a name?
when you've got nothing left to fucking live for
I guess it's all the same
I need a sigh of relief to kiss my face
I need to try and let grief teach me
how to find some grace in this stupid fucking place
this stupid fucking place.

dry heaving.

you're in the words I've written down
you're in the words I say aloud
you're in the sun behind my clouds
you're kept on the tip of my tongue
so that your taste lingers on
so I never get how you're sung wrong when I sing your songs
you're in the hands around my neck
you're in the poison on my lips
you're in the holes across my holes
I feel it right where you are
I feel it in my scars
I feel it in all the bars I can't remember leaving
I feel it when I'm dry heaving

colder than cold.

anything beats being alone
even a strange man's rough hands
or his drugs in my nose
i let loose
i know this won't end my loneliness
but at least i'll find some warmth
for these moments i'm my coldest
colder than cold
anything beats being alone
even a caring woman's heart
that I can't seem to stop fucking breaking
i know i seem so fake but i swear that i'm not faking
i've just lost myself in all these drugs for the taking
and my love took her warmth away
i deserved it, and i deserve this emptiness
we were supposed to grow old together
why am i the worst..?
colder than cold
i might have always been colder than cold
just know that i know
just know that i know...

the strangers we become.

i keep waking up
and keep thinking about how
i keep dreaming of you too much
i wonder if
the souls we become
would meet eyes like they did before
and fall in love all over again
i know we're strangers now
but could we be the kind that fall in love all over again?
probably not.
i'd still watch you grow as i rot
still give you all that i got.
i keep staring off
and daydreaming about how
we never became too much
i wonder if
the souls we've become
could lock eyes like the souls they once were
and fall in love all over again
i miss your eyes a lot.

I wish I knew how to stop you from leaving
I wish I knew how to tell myself it's better off this way
but I just want you to do all you need to do to fix you
be strong my love
I'd say anything and everything I can to make you stay
but I can't let this shadow murder you and take your place
just know that in my arms remains a home
and that you'll never be alone
be strong my love
just give it all you've got
and all you want is yours
i miss you, soulmate.

eyes and weariness
sorrows and emptiness
the bleak shadow I wish to outshine
love in chaotic times
a kiss on your spine
paragon of those every happiness life can try and take away from them
I hope you see that
I hope you feel that
I hope you start to know it well
a pearl who deserves the world
treasured and never sold out
to be comfortable to break open your shell like hell
an emptiness, and the reminder of it
I'm here to break repetition
because nothing feels like you
I hope you see that
I hope you feel that
I hope you start know it well
an emptiness, and the reminder of it
oh so poisonous is the reminder of it
we could shatter all these patterns
we could destroy them hand in hand
I hope you feel that this heart of mine only means well

a good one.

sometimes things seem so lonely
sometimes things seem stale
when moving on seems so fleeting
and standing still keeps us scared
learning is so freeing
but it also feels like jail.
i've always said
with the fullest and sweetest heart
i wanna be a good one
full of fear i'm not a good one
i'm lost in the between
of who i am and who i could be
well i could be a good one
but what if i'm not a good one
sometimes i can be so mean
more often than not i'll fail
moving forward just brings no meaning
staying here just makes me miss you
love, it is so freeing
but heartbreak feels like jail
i'll always plead
with the emptiness of this broken heart
i want to be a good one
why am i not a good one?
i'm lost in the between
of who i was and who i have been
i wanted to be a good
why wasn't i good one?
you didn't deserve me
or the darkness i bring
you didn't deserve me
i want to be a good one
what if i'm not a good one?
who will i hurt next?
