if i could reach inside of you and pull out all of your sadness,
every last coiling thread until there was none left,
believe me, i would
but i'm too entangled within my own
and i don't want to infest you any more with the terror and horror of this disease that lies deep inside us each

wishing
for you and us
is probably
the stupidest thing
that i have ever done

do you wanna lose our heads tonight?
we can regret it in the morning
but that's the morning and this is right now
and it is dark and beautiful and you're smiling
and all i would rather do right now is put my hand on your knee and finish these drinks
yeah we can slip under the covers and be consumed by the warmth
and if it is okay can i hold your hand until the sun comes up?
can i brush up against your skin so mine isn't alone for once?
can i pretend for just tonight your body is mine and mine yours?
let's lose our heads tonight
you and i

old pictures remind me
that good once existed
that people once existed
who don't exist anymore
who are now ghosts
at the touch of my fingertips
old pictures remind me
that i was once me
and you were once you

lately i have been drunk on love
and oh my god
i never want you to become the alcohol which eventually wears off
keep me intoxicated, from here and always
keep me so drunk that i learn to become happy

and we think that we love each other
but we don't
and this is the most heartbreaking part

no love where there is no life
no soul where there is no heart
no compassion where there is no passion
no empathy where there is no sympathy
