I'm losing my fucking mind
Over you
Not even close to over you
And I'll apologize in advance and say that I haven't thought
About you
In a positive light
In these past three weeks
Sorry I remember every word and every vocal inflection that you make
My memory is photographic when it comes to love and convictions
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news
While your best friend bears the rings
At a wedding I wasn't invited to
I guess I just haven't been the same
Without you, because we used to be
Stuck together like papercrafts and glue
And if you think this will stay the same
You're probably wrong
I wish I could be a catalyst in song
And who am I to think that our
Flame wouldn't die out
When all that was kindling
Was paper hearts and lighter fluid
I've got my heart out on a sleeve that
I've knitted up for you
I'll convince myself that one is greater than two
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news
While your best friend bears the rings
At a wedding I wasn't invited to
I guess I just haven't been the same
Without you, because we used to be
Stuck together like papercrafts and glue

Play that bad, bad bitch like a theremin
Say she so hot I want to bear her kids
And I'm so high I want to wear her skin
To see me lie to see my arrogance
Hit that bad, bad bitch with a serenade
Say I'm finna blow up all her barricades
say we should be calmin down but I can't relate
and fuck i need a line to predicate
can't breathe here damn the air is thin
or way too thick
weed ain't making things clear
it's embarrassin'
my hair is in
my face high place vaped out
break out the realm of the physical
walking like I'm pigeon toed to my pigeon hole
can I get a smidgeon of your soul?
make my spirit whole
damn the spirits pour
one homonym go down and the other soars
I keep my name on my wrist
so I know who the fuck i is
i been the same piece of shit
since i learned how to piss you off
i just been hating myself
in between the hits and the coughs
desecrating my health
segregating our hells
Play that bad, bad bitch like a theremin
Say she so hot I want to bear her kids
And I'm so high I want to wear her skin
To see me lie to see my arrogance
Hit that bad, bad bitch with a serenade
Say I'm finna blow up all her barricades
say we should be calmin down but I can't relate
and fuck i need a line to predicate

help me god i would say
once a month when i would pray
acid slings from tongue
when i speak words, compress my lungs discuss
when they sing about my faith
coat over it with a song and dance
i wish my throat could believe in you
but i satiate my life with chance
a roll of the dice to decide what's true
to separate the red and blue
ain't it a damn shame i made violet
tainted your wavelengths with my eyelids
closed in awe of visual snow
genetics gave it to me, no metaphysical woes
painted over you with that brush
fizzing my fingers when i feel the touch
of you singing to me when i'm alone
it's silent tinnitus is bringing me home
was it genetics that gave me perfect pitch?
or is it your outlet to talk to me in a pinch?
i wouldn't know, i've no phone
to commune with you, just metaphysical woes behind my eyelids
when i sleep, i don't get much mileage
i wake up late, and i'm tired of trying
to juggle you with what i've committed to already
secular responsibilities receive first heading
top billing with me, and yet i'm forgetting
what i should have done a few days ago i'm a mess now god you should probably just go

Sit down please stop sprinting
Breathe clearly your windpipe is stunted
clogged with the words that you want to say
And I've torn all my walls down just to let you in
I'll have trouble rebuilding when you're out
Which could be soon
If you're scared rest assured
You have nothing to be afraid of and I'm terrified too
Can I get back to you?
Can I get back to you with an email or something another time?
If I started to try and speak right now I'd quiver and cry and you wouldn't be able to understand me
I try to say these words and I hope you won't resent me
I filled your glass halfway and you called it half empty
It's okay, I only ever call it half full
When I'm trying to cheer you up, does that make me an asshole?
We talk about our hopes and dreams
And I lie to your face
The only thing I want is to not have a nightmare tonight
But that could be soon
If you're scared, rest assured
You have nothing to be afraid of and I'm terrified too
Can I get back to you
Can I get back to you with an email or something another time
If I started to try and speak right now I'd quiver and cry and you wouldn't be able to understand me
And I've seen flowers grow with vigor that I can't even imagine anymore
And I've seen flowers grow with vigor that I can't even imagine anymore
I've seen flowers grow with vigor that I can't even imagine anymore
After you
Can I get back to you?

I said nothing could ever ruin this
I said nothing could ever ruin this
To a friend from a friend to meet the means and the end
But rebuttals came in throngs and it went on a bit too long
I figured hoarse throats were a par for the course
But of course, I was stroking over
Throat lumps looming closer
Liquid anchors off my shoulders
I don't want to wake up from this bad dream
It's so intoxicating to me
And you don't want to waste
Waste you're time on a guy whose emotions turn on a dime
And I wouldn't blame you
I wouldn't be a friend to me too
I wouldn't blame you
I wouldn't be a friend to me too
I wouldn't blame you
I wouldn't blame you
Whiskey and cigarettes
I'm one hell of a coper
An interloper between relief and being sober
Between regrets and a do-over
A couple friends who just lost interest
A couple more who were supportive
They're sick of my own self injustice
They're sick of my crippled contortions
Maybe it's an over proportion
But I cant muster the endorphins
To feel like this life ain't sordid
To feel like this life is worth it
I don't want to wake up from this bad dream
It's so intoxicating to me
And you don't want to waste
Waste you're time on a guy whose emotions turn on a dime
And I wouldn't blame you
I wouldn't be a friend to me too
I wouldn't blame you
I wouldn't be a friend to me too
I wouldn't blame you
I wouldn't blame you

keeping up with my pace of selfish selflessness
that's impressive
narcissistic helpfulness
can't be damned
by anyone but I
find it disingenuous
i can't keep it up no more
shower me in condolences
it won't change a thing
bury me in your warm despair
cause i'm not trying so hard no more
enamor me and it won't be fair
i only chase what escapes me
yell at me, swear at me, hit me i dare you please
i want you to be satisfied
tripwire emotions haven't kept me up
all night for nothin, no
couldn't set me up
for success I digress
from this pick me up
shift to put me downs
silence don't fix me up no more
i have been waiting for the rain
it comes down as saline
pressure spouts it out
brine brings pain and i
shut it down
my mind has mastered me
you can't run after me
shower me in condolences
it won't change a thing
bury me in your warm despair
cause i'm not trying so hard no more
enamor me and it won't be fair
i only chase what escapes me
yell at me, swear at me, hit me i dare you please
i want you to be satisfied

i forget what you said
fingers running through your hair
along the part, like the blood in my veins
it comes back to my
brain
overthinking again
im hoping it was along the lines
of stay with me tonight
those deplorable, horrible things i've said to you
will never be washed out of my hair
no matter how much shampoo i use
might as well cut it all off, start over
those deplorable, horrible things i've said to you
there is no excuse, no
there's no forgiveness in these sheets
when the sins of yesterday stay stuck in your bedhead
and fester in the foam
memories through gritted teeth
a razor in the mail
splayed before my failures
they're being washed down the sink
those deplorable, horrible things i've said to you
will never be washed out of my hair
no matter how much shampoo i use
might as well cut it all off, start over
those deplorable, horrible things i've said to you
there is no excuse, no

sheets

I can't be in your head
Tongue tied on words you said
Hours spent in your bed
I made your sheets smell bad
But you said the sheets smell good
You said the sheets smell good
Maybe it reminds you of home
Back when our needs weren't met
All we wanted was to be alone
Now I'm alone and it doesn't make sense
I'm the first to go when things get tense
And you bleed when you know me best
You said the sheets smell good
You said the sheets smell good
Like iron and pestilence
The bugs have become your friends
I look for a sign of slow
As I gaze on through your window
But your grip's fastened on your clothes
Your throne of perseverance
Has never been more picturesque
You said the sheets smell good
You weren't lying, I never thought you could
I could try I could go back to work
But my stubble's never been such a jerk
You told me it looked fine
Prying me from my mind
Crying constricts my chest
Breathing barely my best
My heaving wasn't the worst
I could have been there first
They tell me there was nothing they could do
My eyes were painted red and blue
The memory follows everywhere
In my bed, my clothes, especially my hair
You said the sheets smell good
You said the sheets smell good
