Talk To You

How are you feeling, and is it a good thing?
I can’t tell the difference when I talk to you
But you always seem to say just what I’m thinking
Yeah I feel so much better when I talk to you
But I rarely do
Cause you always seem to know what I was thinking
And god, you know I wish it wasn’t true
You’re not the only one who’s got me singing
But honey I’ll sing this one for you
What was I thinking? Oh, we had a good thing
Before when I could barely talk to you
But then when you found out how I was feeling
She sat me down and made me talk to you
She put us through it
All that day I felt like I’d been drinkin'
Oh, I could not believe what I had done to you
Lifetimes later, I still overthink it
What could have been if I had said to you
What I wanted to
[Just because I feel like- you deserve to know exactly what you want to know.]

Great White Shark

I can’t claim to understand you
But I want to, and I plan to
Think I might give you the chance to
Look inside my heart
You’re someone I could get used to
In a way I have refused to
Too dangerous to turn my back to you
Like a great white shark
How could I let this happen?
So used to loving in past tense
Past lovers got the best of me
Now I’m fishing in the deep sea
How, and on such short notice?
Blossoming like a lotus
I tried to keep it lowkey
But my name sounds so good between your teeth
Thursday night there was a monsoon
Covered up the Taurus full moon
I wanted to see that eclipse with you
But it rained all night
And it cut through me like a harpoon
And I slept well into the afternoon
I had a dream about the ocean blue
And a big great white
I don't recall what happened
Watching his big eyes blacken
Blacked out, and ripping through me
Disemboweled in the deep sea
Part of me hoped you’d notice
Didn’t wanna be disappointed
When I awoke from that dream
Your name was caught in between my teeth
Oh, what a wild net that I’m trapped in
Why did I let this happen?
Half hearted apologies
You’ve got a way of seeing through me
Good god, I walked to the south end
I wanna know what could happen
If you were more than a dream
And you’d smile at me with shark teeth

Interrupted
02:08

|
I think I had too much to drink
But I can't admit it cause I'm scared of what you'll think
And I thought I gave up being scared
But I can't remember what it's like to be unaware
It's a Friday
Feels like a Monday
It's all so mundane
Can't we change it up, honey?
You're looking my way
I'm looking away
Think there's so much to say
Behind the solo cup, honey
God, I could really use a cig
But I've gotta quit that shit, my lungs are on the brink
I really should start fighting fair
I'm getting deeper without coming up for air
It's a Monday
Feels like a Friday
You would come my way
But we were interrupted
We took the highway
Back in the driveway
I had so much to say
But I was interrupted

Late October

I hope I implode
It’s better than knowing
This whole time I’m showing
What I'm trying to keep down
Like bile on Friday
I’m making my own way
Yeah, I’ll find my own way home
From what I’ve been told
I’ve never been older
I’ll never be younger than I am right now
But I feel so old
Compared to my former
It’s late October and it’s colder now
Something is shifting, I feel it in my skin
But I can never fully let it in
I lose all control
As the cards foretold
Told me I’m bolder than I might expect
I’m hot and I’m cold
I’m nineteen years old
And wherever I’m going, I’m not there yet

Bitter Pill

Penicillin is a bitter pill
I am slicker than an oil spill
I’m a cartoon villain with an arctic chill
You’re a spotted puppy and I’m DeVille
What are you drawing?
What am I wanting?
Is it too much to want it all?
My inhibitions can’t keep me still
By definition I love a cheap thrill
I’m the ammunition for a mercy kill
I’m blood-stained chiffon, or I was until
You started drawing
I started falling off
Cause it’s just too much to want it all
What are you drawing?
Can I come calling?
I can hear you through the wall
I can’t stop looking til I’ve had my fill
I am slicker than an oil spill
I’ll bring you to me by force of will
You’re a spotted puppy and I’m Deville
Is that why I want you so bad?
I’d be the worst you’d ever had
And it’d be so fun to watch me fall
Flat on my face or flat on my back
Wishing that you could make me mad
So mad I’d hear you through the walls

Shimmer
03:31

Rain falls into my open palm
Why am I holding on
To what is bound to fall?
Tell me how it came easily
Wondering constantly
How could I trap what should've been free?
