I think that if we even want to think about taking this out for a walk
The most important thing our tongues need to do is talk
With honest words and silent hands
And the words I've written and you probably stole from plastic lyric-less bands
So much needs to be redone, rewound, and rethought
I don't think we have the time to do this right
Because nothing's ever black and white

I don't know what to think
I don't know what to feel
I can see your expression in the waters
And can't decide if it's real
I lie to myself and I lie to you
You ask if I'm okay
But I can't answer because it won't be true
I remember seeing my reflection in your glassy eyes
Oh, everything fell apart that night
I could see my face in the lake of tears
Why was love my biggest fear?
I heard your voice in the roar of the waves
And in every song I wrote and every word I sang
I see your expression in the waters
But maybe it just a mirage
Here one second and gone the next
Who ever said goodbyes were for the best?
Oh, I don't know what to think
And I don't know what to feel
Is any of this real?
Kind of represents the fluidity of a relationship. The ever changing waves and currents. And reflections that aren't alway what they seem.

I don't want to feel or think
And I don't need to stand on the brink
Of this insanity because I'm used to going mad
But this insanity is a greater madness than I've ever had
It's easier to fall down the rabbit hole
When you know what and who you're leaving behind and how
What am I and what are we?
What are we even supposed to be?
He and I are a mess
And you and I are no better than the rest
But really.
What is this?

So I'm going to go to sleep in this shirt now, hoping that my parents don't find me wearing it in the morning

alex
it is 3 o'clock
and the night is deep.
we are a solar eclipse
and I am your moon.
you pull me close and then
even closer
just to be sure I stay warm.
even the stars are jealous
of the way we sleep
and planets lean in to smile.
space doesn't seem
as big as it did
once compared to
my love for you.
this is about last night
