We've been up
and we've been down.
Down is defiantly better.

You've picked me up,
you've kicked me around.
My butterflies never went away.

We learned to speak to each other,
but we forgot it all.
Our best times never had words.

Sometimes we get by
but mostly we fall.
Let me on this sinking ship.

It happened sometime during the night,
when the black sky turned to dawn
and when you covered my eyes
because I was dizzy from the light;
everything fell away.

Promises made with India ink
leaked down your wrists
and stained your hallow hands.

There was a static in your skin
that mixed me up with you
in the right kind of wrong.

One time darling,
my heart cried domino
and I was deafened
by allure's sweet song.

Please know,
your just like me.
Collecting addictions.

I'll come find you
next lifetime.
We'll be perfect.
Lovers until we meet.

We can mourn our way back home,
to watch our years burn,
before we swallow the ashes.

Don't let me crystalize on the way out.
Fossils are so easy to deny.

Don't let me slow down,
drag the miles out of me.

I'm the face in your ***** dreams.
I'm your prayer;
your infinity.

You can blame yourself
for wanting more.

I'm your black psalm.

You know your too young;
too imperfect.

I'll disarm you while you want me.
cut you with a smile.
you can watch
my grenadine lips
turn to neon back,

until I'm out of reach.

I've died a million times.
Slowly.
Like mercury.
But you know I'm not dead.
You know where I've been.

You watched me while
I blew bubbles
and smoke rings.
You knew.
I was strung out on old stars.

You saw my dandilion addiction,
my sugar sickness.

You followed me when I lay down
in magic poppy fields.
You traced me while I slept.

I made everyone else believe
the vinyl storm swallowed me whole.

But you knew I was still here-
swallowing strawberry pills
and dropping kiwi acid,
under the crust of the horizon.

She's a rubber-head ******
stepping out of the oxygen tent
with a smokey smile
to hide her oil-spill tongue.

Time keeps tripping
as she sends letters home
from the Garden State

Her third eye was high
when she broke all her favorite laws
and built herself a sinner.

She's a self-destructive soul assassin
who could go all day
and never make a sound.

We met as soul mates
but too old to still believe.

You filled me with delusions
and cracked my third eye.

You dragged me in with maybes
and said we could buy the tide.

I wanted to be on your sinking ship,
I wanted to see you bleed.

I wanted to hear you promise me
*13 seconds is all you really need
