Take a number, leave an answer; rest well on the comfort of a new cloth
Too many lungs lost
Ghost, lay down, body in my arms; lay down your hopes for a new calm
Two tongues crossed
Mellow youth, you will know what I would dream
About luck underneath a black wing
Sing a song about
Two hearts lost
Opening up to the cost of self
Listening for your health to wind down
I’ll hold your air
I wouldn’t dare to breathe if you came through
But I would be there for you
I would be there for you
Sweet slumber, pillow dancer; leaves fell to the beat of a new psalm
Two rocks mossed
Ghost, rise up, body gone fraught; rise up with the glow of a moon moth
Too many clocks lost
Mellow youth, you will know what I will mean
About love wrapped within a white gleam
Sing a song about
Two hearts crossed
Opening up to the cost of self
Listening for your health to wind down
I’ll hold your air
I wouldn’t dare to breathe if you came through
But I would be there for you
I would be there for you

united disconnect
03:52

Memories of things once said that you will know
Hints of blue and red that glitter on the glow
I remember it as if it were still happening to us.
This is what I get for falling in love.
But oh, my dear, you can always talk to me
Listening to you is who I want to be.
Becoming who I want to be
Histories in hours spent between the lines
Voices echoing across a distant time
I remember it as if it were still happening to us.
This is what I get for falling in love.
But oh, my dear, you can always look to me
Looking back at you is who I want to be.
I lay a spell upon us both to the effect
That we will marry our united disconnect
Becoming who I want to be
Becoming who we want to be
Becoming who I want to be
Someone that you would love to meet

Everyone has to know
About you
How this is real
And maybe it isn’t even real
Maybe it’s a dream
Where I am the only one in love
Charming things that I’ve been sleeping on all night
Alarm will wake, day will bring the light
Feeling you in the smallest silence
Needing to elapse the days
Until we can be together again
Even in the smallest of ways
Marker on the wall
Closing the gap in the world
For you to
Pass through to me
And maybe it isn’t just for me
The need to know
Your eyes again
As everything fades to dusk
Your feelers fit
The space I’ve made
For you
Charming things that I’ve been wishing for all day
Set down to sleep, dreamlike waters sway
Feeling you in the smallest silence
Needing to elapse the days
Until we can be together again
Even in the smallest of ways
For I have hoped this moment would come
Just as I hope you stay
Now I’ve gotten used to you as you’ve become
You’ve become much clearer still like

duty free cynical

Say you’re coming on,
Quiet.
“Breathe in deep and let’s sleep on it.”
Opal and hopeful,
but laying awake til sunlight;
Thoughts like this draw me to weep.
I pray I have the right to hold you tight,
For now you are your own to keep.
Tired of holding all of my sin in
I'll wait on the pride linen
Punk rock souls will never go out of style
Cigarette fingers and breeze block eyes
Kiss their skinny wrists to exile
What pain-filled past they spent in disguise
Duty-free cynical
Whispers colored in violet;
Plosives like fingers that draw me in dews.
Stopping to linger on fevers beginning to light,
Having held so many that might still refuse.
I pray I have the choice to hold you tight,
For now you are your own to choose.
