ocean, song of a dark
night, me so jealous
i weep.

I'm learning to lay awake
with myself,
Peaceful and warm I
can be with me,
Caring for myself like I do my chilli plant,
Testing my own leaves for lack of nutrition,
Or love,
Cheap, clean sheets beneath my hands and calves
Light the wick.
Colin Meloy's liquid voice falls
like hail,
Excitable under my skin.
So as I watch the light move across white ceilings I can clear
and muse
and breathe.

Spreading rumors for your own agenda making
It seem like I've lost it,
I see beauty in twenty different ways of entertaining
Your soul to oblivion ending up In a state of confusion
Pushing closer towards the bridge of acceptance and
Benge pressing a million tons to get all the weight off
Your shoulders,
I thought it'd be over,
Between you and I,
I could have died,
Why did you lie?
The grass is so much greener on the other side,

....On the Other side,

Learning true colors as I pass without warning
To get one in on you,
There's blood on the leaves and sweat on the branches
Of betrayal of who your actually praying to when you
Lay in bed wondering and being haunted by what you done
Just replacing all of your  memories in a bag of eels when
No one wants electric feels,
I thought it'd be over,
Between you and I,
I could have died,
Why did you lie?
The grass is so much greener on the other side,

.....On the Other side.

I feel like a folded symbol,
inside the chipped-cherry boxcar
that is my damp, June mind.

A fetus seizing in the womb,
hooked up like a cheap monitor.
A foreign strandedness, wrapped
by a boa of dark country back roads
and sterile air skipping across grass.

If I stop, If I sleep
the sweat seeps from my pores
like a sterling grey squad,
oxidizing in the fog,
swimming around headspace,
guns melting with claymation cheeks,
howls into the night, darling deadbirds.

I am now happy and remember
only other happy memories.
Over a decade of depression
and now this.

I feel unfinished, unwanted
by the quickness of life.
I feel like a grain
caught in a gust so swift,
I may never adjust.

I, the empty-headed boy,
causing jet-black glass
to appear on sand,
to remove my footprints,
and incase them, phantoms.

Little by little I step away from myself
To be true to myself
If only to find myself

Beautiful dreamer
wake up and get me creamer
my coffee needs to be sweeter

Snoozing sunshine
it’s already morning time
and half the bed is mine

Dozing goddess
you’re not looking too flawless
just wanted to be honest

Sleepy prodigy
you are too close to me
it’s annoying please

Drowsy king
where is my coffee
that you said you’d bring

I, solemnly swear... . . . .
Who to?
I've never met you.
I could lie through my teeth, & you have to take my word for it.

Of course I have lack of faith.
When I have to trust ******* like this.
Our future is dependent on imbeciles.
Crumpling away.
Like the forests, the lakes, & streams.

Shivering at this thought is an understatement.
The world WILL go on, Mother Nature will rise up & rid herself of the parasites.
That is why I struggle to sleep at night.

I, solemnly swear to do better by this planet.
My,
Our home.

You maybe gone and my hopes and dreams have
Scattered about,
With all the spilling hatred covered in your pores
Filled with doubt,
I have no other way to see than a ride along with death,
The only way our lips will touch again is in my breath,
......My chest beats for another though......
If anything I hate to be the bear of bad news,
But I have everything going for me without you,
So I...

Wrap my lips around the glass and just drink away,

Sick and twisted fantasy of sadness hanging from the shadows
Parting our ways out of luck while lacking in filth and grime
Even though we don't ever really have the time to erupt and
Enjoy the beautiful carnations of breeding and overlooking the
Past due to our actions against reality and it's failed generations
And people with brain damage that can't even manage the time
And the effort to fulfill and deliver and prosper and change your
Whole reason for living with regrets and mistakes,
But what I'm saying is you should follow me,
I never mean any harm to all the energy,
All I want in this realm is your consistency,
But I just really hope you didn't forget me,
......My chest beats for another though......
If anything I hate to be the bear of bad news,
But I have everything going for me without you,
So I...

Wrap my lips around the glass and just drink away.

...Would be genocide,
I'm talking to you like a simple man should
When he has feelings of self-love and your the
Only one he's dreaming of,

....Put me in a casket filled with cut out hearts,
From the angry souls that didn't get a kiss
Or to cop a feel,
God bless their little shriveled up corpses
You could be caught or make a deal,

A feeling is a feeling,
It'll go away soon, but your touch,
I feel,
I love so much,
The thought of having you here would be a
Treasure in itself just taking its toll on
Another human with mental states,
And with all these feels I can't shake this
Feeling that one day you'll leave and send
Me a thanks  for making you the happiest
Woman alive,
But you said that we'd both survive,
You said that we'd be alright,
You said death will never split us apart
And not even life,
You said.....
Alot of things that blew my mind,
When you left I was terrified,
Not loving you Would be genocide,
I'm talking to you like a simple man should
When he has feelings of self-love and your the
Only one he's dreaming of.
