Asking for anonymous
Doubt yourself
Tell another lie
Make an excuse
Keep getting high
Push her away
No reason why
Make an excuse
And keep getting high

Asking for anonymous
This heart
Lacks a servants touch
Who I am
But the man can’t respect
My home
Still lacks any heart
Struggling
Rejoice in your suffering

Answering anonymous
Simplicity
Gives you tranquility
Tranquility
Guides you through spirituality
Spirituality
Will bring you consciousness
Divinity
I hope you reach enlightenment

Up with the sky
No one could pull me down from that height
Then I saw her face
Followed by loss of appetite
Out the pit I’ve had since she left
Empty and hollow, you were expecting polite?
I can’t ******* stomach you
Called us quits so I could get some insight
But I’ve been inhaling secondhand lovers
I’ll never forget those summers

Meanwhile broken whispers chant:
oly oly oxen free
Finding who we used to be
oly oly oxen free
Back to where the wild things run free
oly oly oxen free
Running until they collide with the sea

"Come out and play"
But the Siren is hiding from me
And I from her
I’m burning down every lighthouse in sight
Hoping she never makes it home
Who’s hiding from who?
I don’t think this house will ever be your home

There's a smile I can't forget
Affinity when we met
And a stomach full of butterflies I secretly kept
She’s got that good girl resemblance
And bad girl grin
I swear her eyes yell sin
It’s only for the sake of appearance
After all it’s just skin
Talking in absolutes
But abstracts give them less to persecute
I’d take your place as tribute
Cause I think what we have could be absolute

I've got that good guy look
And bad boy desire
Don’t mistake me as a compulsive liar
I just know every play in the book
Playing this game is like playing with fire
I still have the taste from your lips
Be careful not to sink ships
So I’ll move down to your hips
I still haven’t forgotten those lips
God forbid we take another hit
But I went and ran my mouth
Now there’s blood in the water

Pull me up
Pull me out
My lungs are filling now
I can’t breathe, I can’t sit still
I’ve had enough of the thrill
You’re flirting with heresy
And it’s turning us into fallacy
I’ll take those words back
Cause you’re still everything she lacks

Caught you signing seance seance
Praying He’s gonna save us save us
And now we’re dancing with the dead
Always tied down to that bed
You may as well be dead

This house has taken its toll
The walls are stained like your soul
Burn the wick from both ends
Until you scream from the pain
Then they’ll know
So write these pages from front to back
Letting words define your dreams
Just so you’re not undignified
Let it go
The world has a glow from the inside out
Even in this drought
The tears help me see
There’s still color in these veins

Let's give this the old college try
Cause I’m done only getting by
All it takes is some make believe
Innocent as a tree
While these branches wither away
The only time you make is all to yourself
Just don’t put us on the shelf
Never going back till I’m off of these knees
I wish you could mean nothing to me
But I’m terrified this feeling won’t ever come again
My problems are just friends slamming doors
But they’re my doors
And my used-to-be friends

Life is always a test
Something you can’t even win
So I understand when angels feel the need to hang themselves
Kick the chair from under me
The same fate awaits
I’ll wash my hands of us
Maybe then you can see

Eyes Closed
Sitting in her car
Breathing smoke
Lost in the moment
As if I could feel the rain on my skin
The radio through my bones
I thought the world went deaf
Then she whispered:
“I’m a little damaged
And you’re a little broken
But we’re somewhere in the middle
Let’s make recovery our devotion”

Minds open
Trading views
Sharing dreams
She only ends a conversation
So she can start a new one
Holding my breath for what’s next
I thought the world went deaf
Then she whispered:
“I’m a little timid
And you’re a little shy
But if you’ll have me for awhile
We can give this our best try”

Hearts static
Watching the sunset
Standing on the edge
I look at her and her at me
She let’s out a sigh of relief
Content to drown in silence
I thought the world went deaf
Then she whispered:
“I’m a little lost
And you’re losing faith in fate
But if you give me your hand
We can make tomorrow wait”

— The End —
