Sad God

“sad god”
letting go
of something that you still love
I still had plans for you
and all the things we’d do
but now I just can't believe
oh my sad god
look at what we've become
I thought I believed
but was I the only one?
the light
still shows
in the night
it still glows
but the darkness is so deep
and I'm afraid I am too weak
but now I just want to be strong
to be strong
oh my sad god
look what we've become
I thought I believed
but was I the only one?
oh my sad god
forgive me for what I have done
believe that I believed
in the only golden son (sun)

Dead Weight

“dead weight”
strange men walk around
isolated
with a chip on their shoulders
they are looking for a smile
from you or from me
but instead I find myself leaving
use me
abuse me
just don’t
confuse me
our first kiss went like this
like a stomp on the face of a quarter about to roll away
my best friend wrote a poem
and I cried at the line
“you think I have nothing to say”
so use me
abuse me
just don’t
confuse me
save me
crave me
hold my hand
drag me down

Bed
01:39
|
|||
oh my darling
it’s alarming
how we lose track of the time
if a tide came
and we needed a life raft
I think this bed would do just fine
let’s start a fire
and burn all we wish to leave behind
all that’s required
is that you keep your secrets
and I keep mine

Warm Death
04:51
|

paint fumes and cold rooms
who i was
young love and drug use
who i am
isn’t it such a good thing
that I’m not sad like I used to be?
isn’t it such a good thing?
why do my eyelids sometimes feel like
warm coffins for my eyes?
if nothing else happens
then will I be surprised?
isn’t it such a good thing
that I’m not sad like I used to be?
isn’t it such a good thing?

Fun
03:00
|

oh I want to be the one
who walks in the sun
oh how I want to be the one
who has all the fun
but everyday
a mirrors held up to my flaws
and I try hard not to give into
the idea that I should be small
so what's the takeaway
when I am constantly faced with doubt?
you think my angers unfounded
you think I have nothing to say
oh my heart is continuously breaking
I used to think this world was mine for the taking
all the fear I feel has been learned
I was born brave but I've been burned
oh I want to be the one
who walks in the sun
who walks in the sun
oh how I want to be the one
who has all the fun
who has all the fun
but everyday
a mirrors held up to my flaws
and I try hard not to give into
the idea that I should be small
so what's the takeaway
when I am constantly faced with doubt?
you think my angers unfounded
you think I have nothing to say

Driving
04:34
|

when i get back home
gonna crack you like an egg
on the side of my bed
you reside in my head
draw me in
moth and flame
it’s not your job to shake
me awake
yet you do it anyway
that’s what drew me to you
like a moth and flame
if I touch your heat
I may never be the same
but i know your warmth
will shelter from the pain
let me sleep within the sheets
of your head
keep me around
and I’ll keep you grounded
I’ll shake you when you need it
I’ll wake you when you need
driving to your house
I think I must be someone else
because I’ve never felt like this before
driving to your house

Sick Day

two creatures
on a decaying pumpkin
a whole
I told you things I shouldn’t have
the first person
who has tasted
the depths of my belly button

Canvas
01:26
|
|||
I asked myself for something more
than just another pessimistic point of view
and all I could hope for
is to start over new
and be a blank canvas to show in front of you
I will try to
start over new
and disprove to myself
the things I think are true
and I will try
my best with you
because though I don’t believe in much
I do believe in you
