a lullaby
if the world was gonna end tonight
I’d try to get some sleep
or find the ghost that visits me
and just wait for it to end
blood red sky
did I bring this dystopia to life
or was it just a dream
was it just carbon streaming
through the blood of my mind
lightning fast
opened my eyes to the strangest things for a second
a tangle of shades
I was hyperphantasic
I tried to make it last
swingin back
my arms turned to wings for a second
then the feeling passed
my hands turned cold
like they were holding glass
....
open eyes
the newborn morning stirring in the blinds
the world is still asleep
I hope it cradles me

I’m turning it over and over in my mind
making the connections that I couldnt make that night
I won’t answer when you call anymore
I’ll be out walking
we had a party at home
making some connections with the girls who live next door
I don’t think I want to see them anymore
but I don’t mind if you keep talking
you stand in the road, everything is rising smoke
I wish I’d been harder on you the last time we spoke
and I don’t know where to go that doesnt make me want to go home
I wash it down with a drink and turn on the light
finding the peace of mind I sacrificed that night, the heat turns on,
it clicks the room into place, I hear you moving in the dark
your phone is ringing
I think I hear a car crash in the street
You always said I shouldn’t put myself in their seats-- like an ambulance
the fear comes through the walls, and you’re fighting on your call
I hope you’re winning
they’re plowing the roads, everything is rising snow
I wish you’d been more gentle with me the last time we spoke
and I don’t know where to go that doesn’t make me wanna move on

I check the weather where you are
I check the weather in my hometown
I check the weather for tomorrow
so I can put some clothes out
I play a song on the guitar
I play a song into my headphones
I play a game where I don’t call you
pretend I wanna be alone
there’s nothing I want less
sometimes there’s nothing I want more
I sit and let the sounds
in my kitchen calm me down
refrigerator, clock, and people walking around
above my head, I’m going out
Run with the wind until it sings
Head back again because it hurts my soul
it tears away the control
throws it right into a black hole
life’s getting harder, that’s the thing
something I haven’t quite caught up to
maybe I’m getting older
but I still don’t how to tell you
there’s nothing I want less
sometimes there’s nothing I want more

in a beach town
in a cold house
on a white couch
we could fight now
tell me right now
meet me somehow
I got my doubts
in a black dress
on a mattress
I need access
name and address
I fake bliss
quite an actress
can I have it?
can I have this?
(Don’t fall in love) And I mean it
Don’t go winning me over you’ll be
Disappointed and I’ll be anxious again
(Don’t get too close) Can you see it
I still wanna come over cause you’re
hypnotizing and I’m just taking it in
up on july
down in bed stuy
it’s a good life
it seems all right
in your minds eye
do you see why
we should both try
can I drop by?
are you outside?
got a good guy
with a bad side
say your goodbyes
to the big prize
and say hi
to me, baby
(Don’t fall in love) And I mean it
Don’t go winning me over you’ll be
Disappointed and I’ll be anxious again
(Don’t get too close) Can you see it
I still wanna come over cause you’re
hypnotizing and I’m just taking it in

with you

sometimes I stay up late
then I wake up late
feels like I’m missing the day but it doesn’t matter
you got somewhere to go
And I don’t wanna go
the night holds me instead of you
I lift my head
I’m awake for the worst and the best
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
with you
But I miss you
I don’t wanna go with you
But I miss you
sometimes I miss the point
just to have it explained
and feel like you care that I understand
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
getting myself to start
feels like the hardest part
to go along with the pain instead of bowing to it
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
with you
But I miss you
I don’t wanna go with you

collapse me honey
break the bones that tense me up
collect me honey
kill the thing that makes me stop
before I’m done
now we are done
it reanimates me
puts the blood under my skin
I allow it to wake me
repair me from within
the light is dim
and we are done
I’m not over it but it’s over now
we didnt work but things will work somehow
how do you love like that?
doesn’t it make you so sad?
I just love a person like that
I loved you just like that
how do I love a city like that?
don’t know how it got so bad
I love this city like that
can’t leave this city like that
erase me
make some friends that you like more
replace me honey
I’ll be silent while I ride
the 92
as I miss you
I feel it shaking
the city holds me now
the way you used to
your arms like exit ramps
running me through
and I miss you
I’m not over it but it’s over now
it didn’t work but things will work somehow
how did I manage that?
shouldn’t it have made me sad?
I loved a person like that
I loved a person like that
and I love the city like that
don’t know how it got so bad
I love this city like that
I love this city like that
In providence
Your shadow’s on the river and the
monuments
my world is getting bigger but I’ll
Just pretend
I’m never leaving Providence
In providence
I’m switching back over to the
Other lens
It’s never really over if I
Just pretend
I’m never leaving Providence

moon tonight
03:07
|
|||
|
I hear a shining wind that
strips away the sins I’ve grown attached to
meet outside, you have a
question for me or you just have bad news
there’s no moon tonight
I can’t tell where the scar is in the sky
I can’t tell where the scar is in the sky
things you have, you have a
paper bag, a wool coat, and a lighter
cross the ave, you grab my
hand, I pull away, pull myself tighter
it’s the middle of the night
I don’t know what compelled you to come by
you say you’re alright
but you only judge yourself through your own eyes
there’s no moon tonight
I can’t tell where the scar is in the sky
there’s no moon tonight
I can’t tell when the stars fell from your eyes
I don’t know when the stars left your eyes
I don’t know when the stars faded from your eyes
