Earthquake? Another earthquake? No, just your body just your heartbeat rocking you off balance sasae kirenu karada ga yurasarete for what seems to be no good reason. False earthquakes from my chest when i'm supposed to be sitting still yuka ni suwatte antei shiteiru hazu na no ni mune no naka no jishin ga karada wo, kokoro wo, fuan ni saseru

picking off bits of my skin to rid myself of you changing my shell and making it new scratching it raw and bleeding it through like a leech to ill blood a snake shedding a used, filthy sheath

There's something growing In the dark in the drain Beautiful terrible thing Bitter and dark like I've been Betrayed by nothing Betrayed by unfeeling I feel it sneaking up on me Hanging in the air A cold winter breath A soul escaping Do you want to see What shape it's taking There's something growing Like the moss on your brain I with my heavy eye Remind myself to breathe Don't let me me read your thoughts I relate too dangerously It's hard to live with people It's hard to live alone It's hard to bear existing With all these things I own There's something growing Perhaps already grown

Something Growing

There's something growing In the dark in the drain Beautiful terrible thing Bitter and dark like I've been Betrayed by nothing Betrayed by unfeeling I feel it sneaking up on me Hanging in the air A cold winter breath A soul escaping Do you want to see What shape it's taking There's something growing Like the moss on your brain I with my heavy eye Remind myself to breathe Don't let me me read your thoughts I relate too dangerously It's hard to live with people It's hard to live alone It's hard to bear existing With all these things I own There's something growing Perhaps already grown

That isolation that you revel in before long becomes a burden. Did you forget how to act forget how to talk forget the feel of skin? Did you forget you don't know how to connect? How long have you been living in that empty room? Not sure why I feel like I do, but I'm certain it has nothing to do with you; I'm just far from you, far from view. I know I'm not don't think I'm any better or worse than you Screen simulation trying not to seem such a stranger Some lonesome human inhuman if I'm not trying to recover the feelings I forgot I don't want to but I think about it all the time What he did, how he did the ghosts of songs left behind. I think should stop listening, I know I really should stop listening, but I can't drown it out. It'll come back around I'll come back around Screen simulation trying not to seem such a stranger Some lonesome human inhuman if I'm not trying to recover my feelings Screen simulation trying not to seem such a stranger Some lonesome human inhuman if I'm not trying to recover the feelings I forgot I forgot

can't reacquaint myself with myself without getting a little dizzy short of breath just thinking about it unapologetic, unashamedly single steady heartbeat stirs the bath shaking the surface and trembling submerged and ******* up hot water looks so suffocatingly appealing in my head so much it's flooded thought I'd sink under and float in you but I'm trying to remind myself: don't drown yourself in this one too

vertigo lack of sleep but awake and aware sickeningly more than ever eyes locked open brain electric only my stomach rebels churning in nervous circles wondered why I was awake I thought I heard it in your voice-- caring-- plagued by distance

If you are thinking it's never going to work there's always something off not yet but going to happen no matter how hard you (act like you) try and how hard you believe in "love" congratulations on your moment of clarity. You never needed an other half. We are all born whole. Instead of embracing a foreign body learn to bear your own weight first.

Your words are warm but there's a sense of coldness, clearness between us. We're frozen shut; both world-weary holding each other's icicle hands unable to thaw but freeze together a blanket of frost between us.

In the wavering orange I look up at nothing and breathe out Air catching light, a cloud of dust The sound of something crumbling in the distance or just heavy footsteps Who's there? Are you breaking it down?
