My bed whispers that I'll never get a good nights sleep without you.
Stay cracked, stay cheap.
I will love you from an iron keep.
I have a lot to say but my words died in the car that day.
I've unlocked my door but maybe I deserve to be alone.
I'll do anything just let me get in three more words.
I took an aeroplane but they only reached the backs of birds.
Maybe you were an instrument still calibrated when you brought me joy.
After a while, this shit just starts to get old.
I mean I'm only 24 but I'm impossibly cold.
Now I have amazing things to say but they died inside the car that day.

I know one day you'll be gone,
but I can't force these legs to run
I can't force these boney arms to keep holding on
I can't I can't see you breathing far away.
I just know you're there when I hear your voice
The coughing sound you used to make before you were dead.
I just wanna say that I'm glad you're around
otherwise I'd probably be right under the tree
lying in the grave plotted out next to yours.
You know that I could strip away each piece of the pain
but the layers are a bond that tie me closer to you.
I tucked our last cigarette into this gaudy church pulpit
in case I ever come back to this rundown place.
I'll know just where to go,
because honey you know I'm only living to die to be with you.
Of course I never planned to plan to die but I'm not happy with the hand I was dealt.

Why do I feel like you were gone right from the start.
And wet sand puts me out
(you have always lived now it burns)
through your loss I have learned, how to tarnish quick as fuck
just like lanthanum.

For me surely

Can I put you under my thumb?
When I hung you out to dry on a spider line I thought that you would die.
If you live, for me surely
I guess I have a few questions answer me.
When I place you on the bottom rung from down below
does it seem to high to climb? It felt that way to me.
In the end who cares you have no other place to be.
Sometimes it feels like drowning, trying to place your heart.
I felt a swell effect while floating out to sea.
This selfish though it makes me one and you apart.
I'm ripping trying to get past where you're slipping
Your lack of intellect is so discouraging.
I wasted so much time while watering your tree
To no avail you died while you were still sapling.
I pour a concrete grave you are not coming back.

Still Frozen Holding
01:55

Lights are falling down.
I could find a way to make you stay.
I could wrap my hands around your tattered face.
I could read your last thought, breathe it over again in my sleep.
I could ease this burden.
Life's not easy when you realize it's over in your mind.
Things are difficult and sometimes it's too much to even try.
Time is flowing but my heart and blood are frozen waiting patient in that moment when you died.

Baby I hope you always hurt
the pain that you left me with is so much worse.
Really I took you for the breath I kept inside
you left me petals on the ground at the cost of a life.
Maybe when next summer comes you'll learn the hurt of love.
Were you lying to yourself as well or was I just that dumb.
I cannot get this feelings out of my head did you ever care I have my doubts.
Trust me, you know I always tell the truth to you.
Mostly, you were just something to do.
Half the time, knowing you was hell on earth.
After a while, it is just obvious I'm better off alone.
You left me lying on the ground outside of our apartment.
Hoping someone else would report the news.
After all we've been through together.
Never thought you'd leave me alone.
Well maybe I....

Lila's laugh, in the morning. Blinds open, sunlight at 40%. Wooden spindle next to the bed holds three candles, one lit with the flame rising comically six inches or so above the lip of the glass containing the candle. Nothing contains her.

I know that your once warm light, went cold years ago and I am holding onto ghost.
But I can't help as I walk through that ratty old hall.
To spray on your perfume, and to dance where we used to.
I know, I know you are gone - they all tell me.
Your half of the room is still exactly how you left it.
I used to hold you here, and I could breathe without assuring there was something here worth breathing for.
The universe is calling, and I think it needs a bright star.
You're the sun.
Travels in rivers
the capillaries burst and the best part of dying used to be the worst
but I'll follow your lead.
I don't have a choice besides the world needed you and not me.

x years before I died

Yes I know that you are far away,
but every night we have got plenty to say.
And I dream about you while I am walking,
all those voices talk but they don't know shit.
About the reasons we are into this.
I knew before I even tasted your lips.
You look so pretty when you yell at me.
I'll be damned if you don't set me free.
You are a warm spot in this cold dark world,
you may be sick but I have got the disease.
I can't sleep without my girl.
I followed you up into that tree,
the grass was warm, the sun was out.
The pool was green, old dinosaurs swam in future gasoline, under our feet.
We carved our names, into the wood.
We made up promises we broke up the distance we planned on resistance.
we fucked till we slept, we slept till morning smiling no longer broken
my heart is a token of what used to be quiet and steady.
Now I am red blood and cells that are hungry.
I could never have written this song if you had never come along.

I walk in the room with a birds eye view of your toys spread on the ground.
You dance to my song so lightly, you love it when I'm making sound.
Exceptional, you never look before you leap.
You're always making household headlines - even when you curl up to sleep.
You're always living in the fast lane.
It's good for me because I'm slow.
We both see things so differently, maybe you will help me grow.

My body was too heavy
so I left it on the ground.
Your eyes were red from crying
but your lips didn't make a sound.
I know I said I was ready, but that was only when you were around.
Hope my weights not heavy, you'll always be dragging me around.
Put on my empty shoes and walk around.
You did me, and I'll do you for now.
I'm not gonna die for what I love, it's just not there.
I don't have a handle on what I want,
I know I told you I want it too, but I'm not sure.
And although it's true that I could never hold you, I could still watch you while you sleep.
And imagine you dead what a beautiful sight, your skin turned icy white.

One Day

One day, when our figures waste away and we are in the grave.
Our bodies are young, and our brains don't take much space.
Our spirits were whisked away.
One day, once the sun had just let up.
We couldn't cum anymore.
Later on we were sleeping pretty good.
I was filling up with dreams.
