could I borrow a few more miles
my wheels are flat
and it's getting dark
and the pink of day
is fading to grey
a few more miles
is all I need
a tiny distance
that feels like light years
and I'm waiting for someone to pass
maybe their waiting on me
to get out of the dark
and stand in the light
to put up a fight
but these tires are deflated
the lights are gone
I dream of your arms
ones that felt safe and like home
where I was someone and not bare bone
you are my power
even if your not here
you are energy you are everywhere
you are my destination
the place I'm stuck in between
the place I can't go
is where my home is
so I'll wait out the night
and inflate my tires
go a couple miles
until I find you
even just a glimpse will refill me
I'll be on my way
humming my love away
so that you can breathe it in
so you can see what I couldn't say
you can feel what I was scared of
so I'll drive
far, far away
so I won't hurt you no more
bye, bye my angel
I hope the light treats you well

pull the strings
I am bound to the stage
a cement paper weight
a permanent record
on the radio
seen on the pavement
a bit everywhere
where my mind is lost
and the puppet is happy
a long life
a job is road
take it
take the highway home

I'm getting high on fumes
shooting with eyes closed
trying to **** with a smile

I'm playing with a ghost
so I'm not alone

taking drugs by the miles
drinking my sorrows
hoping I'll die tomorrow

I'm playing with a ghost
so I'm not alone

take a flower see it bloom
ghosts reminds me of you
always there in the dark

I'm playing with a ghost
so I'm not alone

fighting sleep, passing out
counting sheep, eating out
close my eyes dream of you

I'm playing with a ghost
so I know I'm alone

I am alone with a ghost
looking through sunken eyes
look left, look right

I'M PLAYING WITH A GHOST
AND IT'S YOU

blazing snow
frostbite cuddles

I can tell but you could also pinch me you know

because you see you did want it if only you didn't lie about it
Snow Selmon May 2021
I was left in backwash
breathing in you
trying to enjoy it
till the blood was boiling
and I had no choice
but to love you
boiling till bursting
but I was careless
and something else burst instead
and it was my choice
that left me alone
