Time seems to stop when I let you go
The sun goes down
I lose control
Who do you think you are?
Covered in feather and tar
I see icy sparks in the dark
Between our hearts
Why do I always go too far?
We learn to take turns
Were webbed in our agony, our germs and our nerves
We slur our words and edges get blurred
Under london bridges sits my ladies urn
We never learn anything we never earn
Out here like deers
They can’t steer clear
Eyes wide, headlights
Side by side, making moons shine
On goes the rhythm and so goes the show
Still hear you singing easy come, easy go
Promise ill always cherish your soul
Ill be your Rumpelstiltskin
Spinning straw into gold
No expectations, no cheat codes
It’s never fun to let go of the things you love most
No matter how much we wish it weren’t so
Did I entertain?
Distract from the pain?
Did I catch you smiling as you turned away?
Im paused just press play
It aches anyways so I learn the hard way
My face it melts all over the place
No clothes without stains
Got skids on my skin I can never erase
Like the sun, I try to stay blazed
Drawing lines in the sand
Make myself a wave when the storm gets too great
You stand in their wake
Myopathies keep me awake
Got skids on my skin I can never erase
Sick smiles on my faces
As i sink sideways
Sometimes all I can do is stir up the place
Im tripping, slipping on my own shoe lace
Into the haze, into the waste, into your gaze
Will you stay in my way?
So naive and so unafraid
You want me to be here now so here I’ll wait
Shallow and strange
Mmwhatcha say?
Sometimes I lose my brakes
Blow by blow, we all crave
You already know what I’m going to say
Wanna go with the flow
Punch line to your joke
Every time I face palm
Feels like I ate ******
No doubt I’m turning inside out
Can’t get calm with no one to call
Hen in the pen
They all went
When hope fled
Fixated on the hero in the story
I zeroed in, oratory
And she told me
“This. Is. It.”
