Sweetheart

I can feel your eyes wandering through time, you said "Will we ever get it right?". Honestly, I don't know. You don't have to hide from your dark grey skies. You say "Is there meaning in anything?". Honestly, I don't know.
This house is haunted like your memory as it leaves your mind. Water hit, morphine drip. Mind floating toward the uphill climb.
You've got a sweetheart, and I love you for it. You've got a sweetheart, don't you dare forget it.
What a pretty light. Never black and white. I know, You've been trying to make it home... running with your eyes closed
I'm seeing pale voices running with everything I am. I lost it, psych ward trip. Heart change like seasons pass through time.
You've got a sweetheart, and I love you for it. You've got a sweetheart, don't you dare forget it.
Even as they fall, you count the stars before you sleep. Growing purple flowers from your heart till you find peace. With everything you've been through, dear, you're stronger than you think.
You're kind fucked upend I love you for it. You've got a sweetheart, don't you dear forget it. You've got a sweetheart, and I love you.

Those who give their eyes to see
Don’t talk to speak
Do you feel suspended in weight of everything?
‘Cause I feel suspended in weight of everything
I’m done running around
I’ve been tired long
Went away in my mind with things that fucked me up
You gotta jump with your eyes closed to see how far you’ve come, Love
I got lost in a black hole and it’s stealing all my time/light
When you think about the afterlife
I’ll be waiting under Autumn skies
Empathy too pure for words
Deep indigo dreamer
Gracefully, it went away leaving a dull fade
Falling, I saw pretty things now disappearing
Wes Anderson,
I spend my nights with You, flowers, and gin
Chasing a train I know will never end
Grateful the magic in your mind exists
If you make it through the other side
I’ll be waiting under Autumn skies

Coral Reef

She believed in the old gods. Believed in her old scars. Afraid of her own thoughts.
Lady of the sea, why are you so empty? As you make your way farther from me, break apart me gently.
He was born in a fire escape. Too many oxycontin dreams, whiskey rivers, and broken teeth. We need to get out of here. We need to get out of here.
Sailor out at sea, why are you so lonely? Your shadow is getting harder to see, as you drift away so slowly.
Blankets of waves come now to tuck you deeper beneath the rain clouds. Sinking to the bottom of the coral reef. There is no sign of saviors... No sign of me.

Hippie Bullshit

You are always, always wandering
You lost your fear of dying
Now everywhere you go
Nothing feels quite home
I’ve had enough of this hippie bullshit
Me and all my friends are hypocrites
You’re holding on to the rope around your neck
You would trade your life for innocence
You are always, always wandering
You lost your fear of dying
Now everywhere you go
Nothing feels quite home
I’ve had enough of this hippie bullshit
Me and all my friends are goddamn hypocrites
You’re holding on to the rope around your neck
You would trade your life for innocence
The medicine does not exist
You put the gun right to my head
I lost myself in the weight of it
The medicine does not exist
I’ve had enough of this hippie bullshit
The weight of all this dark is hard to forget
I’m holding on to the rope around your neck
You would trade your life, FUCK your innocence
I would trade my life for innocence
I am always, always wandering

Somewhere Else

If we make it to the end
What do we do with all the bitterness?
I’ve been climbing in my head
Falling further through the emptiness
Who are you to find me out in my existential doubt?
I spend hours “somewhere else” trying to find myself
I lost my teeth when I tried to talk
I’ve been spitting piles of blood on a sidewalk
Growing older as the day takes my thoughts away on an airplane
My eyes are changing with the wind
It took my heart away and buried it
Mother Moon glows just to speak
She said “Take my love and grow it carefully”
Who are you to find me out in my existential doubt?
I spend hours “somewhere else” trying to find myself

Sleeping Pills & Wine

Gracefully you’re dancing down the avenue
Where peace and love keep quiet ‘cause you warned them to
I’m floating under water towards the deepest blue
Shadows move below me as I’m frozen still
Beautiful ghost, won’t you let me go?
I’ve been disappearing slowly
Haunting our bones, you’re all I know
In a forest times forgotten
Love is holding on to beauty you gave up on
What happens when you’re gone?
Does memory know the difference?
Beautiful ghost, won’t you let me go?
I’ve been disappearing slowly
Head towards the light, You never left my mind
As the flowers bathe in Moonlight
Everything you’re chasing will come to you
It may not be the answers that you wanna hear
I’m breathing under water in your atmosphere
Sleeping pills & wine so I can disappear
I’m floating towards the endless blue
Where no constellation holds the truth
