lyrics

Staring at the clouds, death sticks in my pocket.
Tryna think aloud, but your eyes say stop it.
Cool - up to you fuck it we can drop it,
while these growing pains start to pull my knee from its socket.
So just let me fall apart, reassemble what is left.
I can cut the years in half from the hours never slept,
I might wear a suit of armour
while my heart is underdressed
if you aim for the sleeve you’ll miss

Young self gets a grip watching light kiss the darkness in his eyes
chasing softly spoken lies he was told in lullabies.
As he plots his own demise, he awakes to see the sky falling
in the form of little comers effervescent bright.
If I squint just for a second they resemble fire flies,
catch them in my fingers while they beckon my demise - it’s nice,
seeing you smile for a change
porcelain tiles blue bile might’ve stained
I could take your eyes but could never take your name
I know I could take a beating
couldn’t take the blame
what a shame
what a shame
what a goddamn shame.

Hair down, tied back,
messy middle parting.
Stressed staring out at a sea of sublime parking lots,
and half knots start to form in my locs.
Swear that I was going somewhere with this but I forgot.

Gimme gimme gimme time to breathe,
I’ve been sinking in the sky
I’ve been working overtime
scared to lose myself to gravity.
Pulling at me from my feet,
all my issues on repeat
I want time to hold myself like I know you do so well
I might be wrong,
but I can’t tell.
