Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels

 

All of your words and mine
They keep returning
I'll find my own way back
Back to the silence

 

When we break, we'll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life

 

We're riding through the side streets
A place we thought we threw away
But we let it stay

 

on an empty panel floor
i lie here for communion just waiting for one more
but in the quiet empty hours of my afternoon
what was i supposed to do?
and if i want them too will they come to me soon?
will they fluctuate between midnight and past noon?
was kind of banking on a future that'd be involving you
but i couldn't ask this of you

 

There's a thousand lives you'd like to try but never do
But if you come with me, we can find just two

 

Make me feel alive
Make me think that there's a God sometimes

 

why'd you up and run away from me, darling? cause you don't have to, my serial doubter

 

Let's not grow old or act our age,keep signing songs like nothing's changed.

Closed fist she hit me square in the jaw, said "I'm a woman and I know what I want!"

 

i stare so delicate and ashamed
at the shell i've set myself from

 

Did you get enough love, my little dove? why do you cry? And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best, though it never felt right, my little Versailles

 

So this is how it feels to be 24
A thief without a key to an open the door
Just peering through the window
For any clue
Or anything explaining a part of you
And I guess the real question that I don't know,
Is why I am afraid of letting go?

 

and i won’t get better
but someday i’ll be free
cause i am not this body
that imprisons me

 

Wilted, we fade away rotted from the root
We exchange our stem for legs
We blossom into our bodies
And the process has been reset

Welcome to your new home

 

I feel like we could forget about it
I feel like I could mellow out
I don't feel undone in a big way
There's nothing really bad to be upset about, well
Just when i thought i was getting better i
Woke up on the ground
An appointment or a disappointment
Any outcome's such a comedown

 

Might have learned how to swim but never taught how to drown

 

Because tonight the world turned in me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe
Oh babe I know, it's alive and somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

 

A MOVIE STIIIILLLL PHOTOGRAPHHHHHH

 

@jordalsh My emo trash buddy showing up for me today

 

@Meerkat this emo lord is here 4 u always

 

What God doesn't give to you
You have to go and get for yourself

 

I guess your love
Was only as safe
As the promise you made

You are the storm, the wind, and the waves
You break me in two and toss me away
I fell apart when I fell for you

You are the water filling my lungs
Killing me softly without a word

 

I'll always think it was too early to lose your shine,
I guess the means that ends us means nothing,
I just hope it's the peace we all need,
Because I could love and drown in your God damned smile lines,
but I think I burnt up watching you rallying to stay alive,
and I guess that's fine.
It seems we all get sick,
we all die in some no name hospital with the same colored walls,
and I guess that's fine

This gets me every freaking time and I've listened to this song 100 times

 

I walked your street again last night
And laughed to dull the sting of spite
But your door was dark and it made me cry
Cause mother always kept you shining bright

 

bring me to the world of guilt and sorrow for the races tonight
where the boats go cutting through undulating mirror images of incandescent spires
the roads there are parabolas with nameless water towers near the exits
you could turn it all on end still wouldn't be taller than the biotic arch at the crown of creation

there are people who put dirty hypodermic needles between the seat cushions in the movie theaters
we all have the same dream the night we contract it

so maybe i've been sleeping less at your place
since the man's last panicked screams startled us awake
we're paralyzed as the cop cars arrive
casting slow-spinning mobiles on your ceiling
we watch the frozen moon

in daylight i stare past your eyes' lenses
windows framing solar wind rustling ivy on painted pink buildings

i've been hearing the soft step of gray-eyed governess
but i know you know the physical form of the moaning alarms coming from the air force base
a skinless and sinewy leviathan all terrible contraction and release
debasement ringed in banner plane exhaust and scattering v's of geese
