Don’t go
This winters carved it’s cold into my bones
But something ‘bout your body warms like home.
Can’t put a name to the space, but I know it’s our own.
We caught the first flight out to LA,
I get it, you need to get away,
But back in Berlin you said we’d stay,
And now you’re getting restless.
I’m where you are,
But why do you need to
Cover maps with pins and pictures
Lose yourself, trade in your heart?
I could make it worth your while
To see it all right where we are.
Slow down
You rush like you’re afraid of missing out
But moments in the stillness with no sound
In that space with you, they’re the best ones that I’ve found.
We’ve got escape at our fingertips
A getaway waiting at our lips
A free ride out of this world so quick
We can come back breathless.
I’m where you are,
But why do you need to
Cover maps with pins and pictures
Lose yourself, trade in your heart?
I could make it worth your while
To see it all right where we are.

Melt
03:13
|

|
Lines from the fire escape
Press to my legs and paint
The time spent,
The wasting of June.
A slow burn,
Back shaded by my body
I could sink into
The window of your room.
If I’m gonna waste my whole damn life
Competing with the smoke,
Watching you get high
I might as well just melt.
Heat wave makes clouds over Brooklyn
Laugh at me as I watch.
They turn deep orange with mercy
Letting go of their first drop.
And I let go
My heatstroke day-dream pools down.
The rain and I hiss and sigh
The fire at your lips put out
If I’m gonna waste my whole damn life
Competing with the smoke,
Watching you get high
I might as well just melt.

I Mind

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna talk
So we’re not gonna, we’re not gonna, we’re not gonna talk.
I’ve heard enough about your history.
You’ve run me dry out of my empathy.
Been so ungrateful of my company.
I’m not sitting patient ‘till you’re done with me.
The “I love you too”s
Second in line
Picking up her pieces
Like I don’t mind
I mind.
Got high on your breath
Head on your chest
Something for the broken boys.
Just to break the innocence
You brought up her name again,
Feel the want drip from your voice
The “I love you too”s
Second in line
Picking up her pieces
Like I don’t mind

Venom
03:50
|
|||
|
Screens, lines, make my
Screams, cries, soft, quiet
Trading in nerves and skin
Poison my mind
Venom makes the girl
Pretty dies so slowly
Read me magazines ‘till I’m asleep
In dreams I feel their eyes
Dance across the surface
Wake up reaching for a screen
Ink seeps from stencils
The outline bleeds
File me down, make me a cut out
Just wait it out
It’s in my veins now
Venom makes the girl
Pretty dies so slowly
Read me magazines ‘till I’m asleep
In dreams I feel their eyes
Dance across the surface
Wake up reaching for a screen
Please take it all
Just leave the sting
To remind me
To remind me
Or I won’t feel a thing
Or I won’t feel a thing
Venom makes the girl
Pretty dies so slowly
Read me magazines ‘till I’m asleep
In dreams I feel their eyes
Dance across the surface
Wake up reaching for a screen

Kid Room
04:10
|

|
Eating cherries in the back of the cab
Tastes one from her hand
And spits it out
Lovely leaves the pit in her purse
Lays a scatter of words
As she steps out
Out, out, out
Onto her parent’s lawn
The upstairs lights flick on
The static’s getting stronger
“Baby,” they say “why don’t you try growing up?”
“Baby,” they say “why don’t you try growing up?”
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down
Far past dizzy, lends her stomach to the floor
Wipes her mouth and finds the door
A kid room
A kid room kills you when you’re
Half in half out
Those doors slam louder
“Baby,” they say “why don’t you try growing up?”
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down
Unlearned lessons pile high
Doll lips sing “you’re out of time
Time to align, lives move in lines
And you make circles
Running circles in your mind”
She dives head first
Kicks up pink dust
The pressure’s building
Breathes and kid thoughts fill her lungs
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
