night at the museum

I'm going home for the last time
Painting over the traces I've left
Mother's coffee and childhood bedroom
Relics of my life hanging on the walls
Just in reach
And out of hand
So tell me if I've overstayed my welcome
I'm afraid of moving on
Talking to myself again unanswered
Asking when I have to grow up
I love the life I've made
But I can't help mourning
The child who couldn't see it play out
And if I could tell her anything
I'd say: 'you're enough just for existing'
Every moment is my purpose
Surrounded in love for being

infatuated
03:39

And I'm picking up ashes
From the nightstand
Wondering when you'll come home
I'm sick to my stomach
I've never been so infatuated
Come find me somewhere
Far from any pain we know
Trusting nothing but the wind
That brushes your cheek
Ordinary evenings that feel brand new
Repeating melodies in distant rooms
Is the house I've built
Enough for you?
As above
So below
Truths that aren't quite whole

Said I'm tired of being young
But I don't wanna get older
Think I'll be my best at twenty-one
You said your mother's getting sicker
And there's nothing you can do
You feel time slipping through your fingers
And I think I feel it too
And what did we ever do here
But wish we were somewhere else?
This place is like a ghost town
Every face is different now
I don't know myself anymore
Sold my name to a dream
Thinking it would be good company
Now I can't tell
The reflection that's mine
Amongst the faces I've made to cope
With the loneliness of being alive
I feel haunted by the tree in my front yard
Its leaves glowing blood-red in the fall
And what I wouldn't give to be so small
As to live in its branches once more

the big bad
03:43
|
|||
I've been screaming so hard
I'm coughing up blood
Into empty hands
Won't you take a little more of me
'Til I'm your dinner party anecdote
Consume me
My every detail
Leave me to tend
Idle conversation
It's a quiet rage
Built bone by bone
A fire in the night
A breathless killer
And I'm hanging on too tight
To what I know won't kill me
And I've had enough
You don't see me
Until you look away
And by then I've already changed
I won't come back
To absolve you of your guilt
The role of mother waning
With every new moon
Release me
My every flaw
Sharpened my teeth
All the better
To hit a nerve with
It's a quiet rage
Built bone by bone
A murder in the night
A hired killer
And I'm biting down too hard
On the hand that choked me
And I'm fed up

tulips revisited
04:08
|

If I bury it deeper
Will you still know me?
A phantom limb
That extends itself again
Blanketing me in white
Haunted by the door
It's perpetually open
Lighter in the river
Does it still burn there?
Ghost with two faces
You've never left
Growing inside me
No room to collapse
Constant hunger
Feeding on emptiness
Detailed atlas
That snakes around your wrist
I am learning peacefulness
Even when I bend
The tulips scream against white walls
Another night snowed in
Ghost with two faces
You've never left
Growing inside me
No room to collapse
And time will cauterize the wound
And I won't have to hide

sputnik sweetheart
03:58
|

And blood is thicker than promises
Where rain never falls
Building a bonfire
Ten stories tall
I saw myself from a ferris wheel
In a hotel room seeing with my hands
And you won't believe me
Even when I'm walking in my sleep
And it came to me then
All my best memories were in dreams
Burning until we're nothing
You tell me I am not who you hoped I'd be
I wonder if my future was ever mine
Buried in a place I never called my home
Writhing in a body I don't think I own
Satellite, pass me by
I'm already gone
Gemini moon
Shine for me

two birds, one's stoned
02:55
|
|||
I can't help myself
In wondering
Whose life I'm living
Everyone but me
A part of the ruse
When will I stop questioning
the love that's offered to me?
I am lost
in my own villainy
Send me a sign
Guide me divinely
No stone left unturned
No bird forgotten

I don't mind getting old anymore
But do you think you could leave a light on for me
Bury me alive in the sound of your goodnight
Kiss me tender, hold me too tight
All the things you are
Is all I'd ever ask for
Count my life in leap years
Fill my days with freckled joy
I think I've always known you
In the dark, I'd think your heart was my own
Someday we'll live in a house by the sea
Let the tide take us home again
Hand in hand
Finding poetry in the space between your breath
Romanticize the little things
You hear what I don't say
And listen in loud silence
Tell me you'll love me
Until words fail
And all the things we are
Is all I'd ever ask for
So count my life in leap years
Fill my days with freckled joy
I think I've always known you
In the dark, I'd think your heart was my own
Someday we'll live in a house by the sea
Let the tide take us home again
Hand in hand
Rib in rib
Binary star supernova
