Your eyes hold me together like I'm your favorite painting,
I'm a bit bruised and my hands are all scraped up.
I've been trying to sculpt statues of my heart for you,
I'm a bit rusty and my thoughts are matching the walls.
Your fingers are wired into my skin like you're the electricity in my brain.
You shock me like a thunder storm, the lightning burns so much.
I'm a bit startled the dopamine in my veins scream your name,
I wrap myself with my bed sheets wishing it was you,
You hold me together better than this city i'm in.

The sun is radiating on my pale skin,
I'm smoking a cigarette wondering if this is my last one,
The memory of all the pain is imprinted like old photographs,
I have bags under my eyes like they've never witnessed rest,
I have lips that match my blood,
The sun is radiating on my pale skin,
The voices haunt me they repeat your voice in my head,
The moon is controlling the ocean inside my brain,
I hope thing's start making sense for me.

my mind is scattered over the walls dripping words that my mouth couldn't speak,
my thoughts are unraveled and they're sinking under the floor boards,
my body is an abandoned structure but it's your favorite place,
your lips stain my cheek after you tell me how awful I am to you,
your words chew me up like I'm your favorite meal,
I indulge myself into your nature,
you are my favorite painting but the artist was sleepy when he created you,
you are my favorite combination of sounds,
you are my favorite human out of the 8 billion.

I've become so deeply infatuated with you,
I'm becoming paranoid to the idea of you unraveling me and finding nothing,
I'm afraid of losing something that was never mine to begin with,
I'm afraid of losing time that I wasn't rewarded with,
You are my sea your waves brush my gentle skin,
You are my home your eyes remind me of comfort,
You are a mystery like another galaxy I'm willing to explore,
Lay here with me while the rest of the world fades away,
I love you so much.

I’m surrounded by roses while I’m just a dandelion,
The wind blows me away and I’m broken into pieces,
I want to disappear into the atmosphere,
The only trace left was my stem,
Now I’m home.

You've never felt loneliness until you've seen an x-ray of my bones,
You’ve never felt pain until you’ve seen my flesh melting off my skin every time you forgot my birthday,
You've never felt like a ghost until you fade like yesterday's news,
I used to name my battle wounds after you,
I used to spend long nights over you,
I thought happiness was somewhere in your voice,
You've never felt heartache until the only hope you had left you.

I realized that leaves have veins just like the ones under my skin,
we are the same,
I realized the horizon painted all my favorite colors,
I wonder if I'm the inspiration,
the sun's rays warm my cold body,
we are the same,
I realized the moon is as lonely as my insides,
we are the same.
