Blue light and wet grass
Close enough to feel your breath
Standing there at Saddle Lane
When we met in the summer
Morning dust and too many drugs
I asked you if you had anything else
So I didn't have to be myself
Sharing a cigarette when we met
I was too drunk and empty
You were so damaged yet perfect
Shouting at streetlights and broken windows
I didn't remember it
I don't remember a thing

Keeping your doubts to yourself
Almost drunk enough to not feel a thing
I wonder how she felt when she died
Falling down a well
Because now I know what that feels like
And all the love and admiration that comes
Will never be enough to ease that aching in my chest
Falling down a well
Keeping your doubts to yourself
Never knew it all could have come around
People like us; the Devil and God rolled into one
Falling down a well

We sat in a coffee shop
And I drew a picture of us that said
'There's nowhere I'd rather be but here'
But I got drunk last night and fell down the stairs again
I can't stop thinking that we were supposed to end up together
Wherever you are now, I hope you're loving your life
Because I'm not sure if this will ever get any better
I thought we made a promise
But I guess you've found what you wanted
Oh God, you knew me back then
Is there something wrong with me?
I just dropped out of college
I'm thinking about joining the army
My house is often empty and I can't afford to heat it
I still wish you'd call
Oh God, I just wish you'd call

And so you'll try to convince yourself
That the love of your life leaving you
Was the best thing to ever happen to you
But you're as sad and you're as miserable as you'll ever get
Losing your better half
There is no joy, there is no freedom left to be found in this
You've made your bed and there's nowhere to lie but in it
And you're left numb and useless and maybe
This is how you deserve to stay
You started this fire, now you'll burn in it
Some nights it'll be hard to eat, even harder to sleep
And you'll feel the wind blow in your stomach
It will never quite stop howling

Grace

After the crash I held my breath
Because I was afraid of what I'd say to you
I feel restless as our moments pass
Knowing these graces were never meant
I'll tell you I'm lost alone
As if these words were more than just oxygen
You'll forget something said
A dissonance when we lay in bed
Blank faces in pretended love
I don't want this to die, just to put my mind to sleep
I don't want this to die, but the unrest is killing me
Lost, in a tiger's den
You're my lioness
Moonlit, I saw you undress
We are made from instances
More than what we can understand
Am I apart or am I together?
Traces lines in your forever
And it's the tourniquet on your veins
It's the electric in my brain
It's the low hum I wandered in
It's the white-capped waves that drew me in close
Turned to teeth to swallow the ship whole

Is it ironic the last time you felt alive
You were seconds away from dying
Oh, to feel again and rid yourself
Of a pressure that pulls until your body gives
I can imagine him whispering
'I care about how you're feeling'
But he's unaware he doesn't care
He likes you because you're pretty
He likes you because you're there
So you'll fall apart in bed with him
Trading self-esteem for misery
Another night of monotony
This daydream cure for your disease
You say you like the company but you're lonely
I know it
You say you like the company
But you're lying

I'm not alright unless we're talking
At night I pull apart my body
And when I met you, I couldn't leave you
Alone and restless, my voice of reason
Resounds in my head, 'Don't let it stop here,'
But I am left where our end began
And sometimes now I stare into the ocean
And sometimes now I scream for it to swallow me
In realizing the best I can be to you
Is a part of your decomposing memory
I will still drown
And you too

Sick

You'll party but you won't remember it
You'll see your friends but you won't care for them
Wondering is this as good as life gets
A distraction from the underwhelming emptiness
Falling in sick, sick love
Caught between attachment and obsession
Fixated on what hasn't been
Dreaming of what never was

For a moment you thought you'd found yourself something beautiful
But then you saw her in the wrong light and suddenly
You didn't want her anymore
You're not happy but you've always been good at playing pretend
Searching for an apartment comfortable enough to die in
Once you've lost your kids, and
Laid over you is the smell of smoke
That wide-eyed child they once knew is gone
The world chewed a hole through you
The world had chewed the grace out of you
Is it worse on my part alone
Does it matter
I feel it in the right way
I don't mind learning from your mistakes
So I'll write your wrongs
I swear I'll be better than you were to me
Fighting for control is not love
Neglect and jealousy is not love
That's not love
That's not love
Fighting for control is not love
Neglect and jealousy is not love
That's not love
That's not love
Fighting for control is not love
Neglect and jealousy is not love
Is it worse on my part alone
How it shatters
I feel it in the worst way
I'll find my way out of this water somehow
By drowning me, you taught me to swim
And I'll always be thankful for that
Oh, you are not my father and you never were

I want to pull apart your ribs
I want to crawl in your skin
Together we starve, our thoughts, our limbs entwined
And I will breathe with you sharing every inch
I never knew a love quite like this

Inventing problems
Making less promises to your friends
Pinch their hum in your ear like a wasp
When will you learn to stop questioning?
You like your friends, so take pictures with them
And you won't forget it
You'll always know you're never alone
You're alone all the time
There's a lot to remember
So when you're dipping your hands in water
Remember they are yours
Forget what doesn't exist anymore
