falling deep into the couch
your eyes were heavy
but you let it out
down down down bracing
down down down breaking
all worn out
you turned away
lips are chewed out
oh you turned away
oh let it out
oh let it out
why dont you scream and shout
why dont you let it all out
time always passing on
time always pressing down
turns black before you go
my eyes turn red
when you say its time to go

wasting dont ever leave
take me on
take me on faith
and im...
take me on time
take me on sun thats gone
take me on shadow line
you are my restless one
you are my fake
you are my autotune
you are my autumn loon
you say
leave it down
leave it on fifth
leave it broken

aversion [jan 2020, la]

wasting lines about a death
oh it happened years ago
oh it happened years ago
but my throat
collapsed inside itself
choking out the words
its still happening to me now
and i wash away thoughts with addiction
im addicted to aversion
sweeping it away with a feeling
all the time
lying in my bed
wasting ruminating
you were still dead
and the time
wasted in my office
watching ruminating
you would still die
and the tears roll
and they dont feel productive
im not always productive
those tears never said a word

i am an ocean
i am out of control
i am an ocean
when i met you i was dry
when i met you i was dry
im writing the same songs over and over
im beginning the fall
im writing myself over and over
i am the fall

break every part of it
in my head
toiling like a cigarette
i stuck into my mouth
let it all around let it drop
face every part of it
let it all hang out
crying on the bank of the lost
for everything that's been
all the people gathering
and parting like clouds
i see them in my head
all the faces
drifting
i saw you in the car
making a left turn
havent seen you in a while
thought about how youre not that far
and it all just felt so dumb
things that i blow up in my head
im always ruminating now
it all just falls apart in my head
i wish i was in the car
and i could see all of your hair
floating with the wind
on the way to somewhere better
sadness lives inside of us
its always fucking there
sadness lives inside
every one of us
it's been there from the start

light was broke
only the shadows on the soles
and everyday waking up
quarter past 2 it's a travesty
you stay in my details
you stay in the little parts of me
you stay in the light
every way id expect you to be
well i ride it out
only so far gone
breaking a life
only my details
i thought that you were gone
i thought i'd seen the last
for the last time

you were too drunk
to stand on the way home
carried you out
said you wanted to walk to melrose
look at the ivy there
pupils so dilated
really gave me a scare
it dont stay when you're always high
i cant really stand it when you're always high
everything comes down to nothing
ill just go home and cry
lazy
never had the function
its so hazy
weeks of just staring at you
im so gazy
never really even try to get me
to do anything i dont wanna do

my head fell down
last tuesdsay when you left
every piece fell out of your bag
walking through security
and i laughed and you laughed
hair sticking to your cheek through the tears
and i sat in my car for
what felt like an hour then
and i smoked what felt like my last
cigarette at the time
dazed and swerving
made my way back up the five
to my parents house
let down and reeling
but it felt right
and i promise
you can say my name
when you touch down in jersey
before you ride back to
bergen county anonymity
you can be sad but only for a day
like we promised as we were falling asleep
breaking my safe

rain was coming down
my eyes were open
i see it in your smile
heart is broken
sunshine falling down
those trees were swaying
i hear people talking
on my tv set
now neil's words abound
i wouldn't trade anything
to be like one of them
be like one of them
be like one of them

i dont like to say goodbye to you
i dont like to say goodbye to you
au revoir adios au revoir adios
and i try but who am i kidding
you know i stay bright
but who am i kidding
if im so blue why cant i tell you
if im so blue why cant i tell you
au revoir adios au revoir adios

i want to live in a world where i can be free
my heart feels bad when you break up with me
i will
treasure
all your love
till i die
and it feels so
go let it all out
gonna be just fine
gonna be just fine
watch the moonrise
get real fuckin drunk
let it all wash over you
feeling the cold
rain on your skin
always gonna come back to this place
back to this place again
never thought i'd last this long
just feelin a little lost these days
never thought it'd last close to this long
just a little lost these days
i will
treasure
all your love
till i die

i see you in my dream last night
i write i want every night to see you
if it's coming closer
i want everything
to stay the same
i want everything
to stay the same
when im alone at night
crying for you out of sight
i say in my mind
i stay in my mind
i want your morning light
i want your morning light
|

see my hands on your neck
and your hands on my chest
i think of you often
i think of you when im drifting off to sleep
saw you in dreams
last night
saw you in dreams
last night
and my eyes start to water
while you're walking across
i wanna say nice things at your wedding
i wanna pray for your children
i wanna shake your husband's hand
become his friend
but i won't ever stop loving you
at some point it felt simple
at some point it felt right to be together
at some point it'll feel right to be friends and that's it
but in my head im still sleeping next to you
in my head im still sleeping on my side next to your side
in my head im still sleeping with my nose stuck in your hair
in my head im still loving you
