Don’t stop that racket because then we have to talk
Step back into real life, if you kill the lights, the humming stops
What would you give for a moment that feels at all the same?
If I could act indifferent, would you promise me that everything would be that way?
I have not forgotten
It’s just part of life I’ve left behind
Then and now cannot compare
But it’s too hard to assume
Settle into rumination until I’m caught off guard
Remedied by familiar flickering glimpses in the dark
You give a piece of your mind, I give too much away
If I could find the willpower, would you start to think that I don’t really feel that way?
That I have forgotten
It’s just part of life I’ve left behind
Then and now cannot compare
But it’s too hard to assume
What more will I lose to make it right?

Run
Run Away
Retreat
I’d rather be not dying on that hill
Please understand
I’d rather be a drag
Best
Laid Plans
Fall Through
Secretly I’m hoping that it’s true
I miss you
But I just feel so tired
Indulge in self fulfillment
And routines calcified
Destined to daydream of change
Killing Time
Til
It’s
Right
Far
Far Away
In shade
Company fortuitously made
Thought I have nothing more to say
I feel the pull to stay
And try not to be a drag

Hit me up after felt like TKO
I don’t want to fight you but I could tell you more than you may know
Hanging onto your breath is my one defense
And I’ll throw your words around to save me now and then
Is that such a crime?
So don’t waste my time
Now that we’ve had our fun hashed out for everyone
Then you won’t mind if I go flip it on its side
To the victor go the spoils, have judges won?
This may be the only way that we don’t come undone
To the victor go the spoils, come down in stone
There’s rumor spreading around and I have no way to know
But I can tell you’re lying
So don’t waste your time
Don’t go tell everyone the mantle holds the gun
Then you won’t mind if I go flip it on its side
And I’ll never tell you how I feel
Can I be fine while I ask why it’s an act
Is it real?
Sitting on the sidelines of my own mind
To lay in wait
Elucidate
Not from here
Not this time

I Wish You Would

Visit me tonight
You must have asked a thousand times
I wish you would
I’ll sit this one out
Maybe you will think of me again
I wish you would
And leave it like that
A while
The same
Way
Black dress, high heeled shoe
Will you give them to me too?
I wish you would
Come with me to the end
Look how I’ve paved the road we’re on
I wish you would
And leave it like that
A while
The same
Way
Look for me, I’m not there
But I feel left out
I’ll wait for your response
I can’t bare the thought
Of me getting hurt again
Now I’m not bad at friendship
I’m a bad friend
What can I say to make it feel less strange?
I don’t mean to hurt you when I give less than I take
