lyrics

I had a conversation with your t-shirt
You looked scared I was afraid to see you hurt
I didn’t want to hurt you
When you are sad do you decide to get angry
Is it an instinct for the emotionally lazy
That wasn’t meant to be rude
I spend so much time trying to say things
Conversations move slowly time is wasted
I never know what to do
I’ve done a lot of shit to provide a reason
For you to hate me but you don’t and
I’m so grateful to you
Will I think things through

Your hair pushed back, my arms relax
The space it breaks, your feet in place
This string we pull, to feel more whole
Is far more weak than we are led to believe

So I drove you home even though I shouldn’t have
Half asleep still there’s sheets in my trash can
I could have crashed the car
When I returned I readjourned to that altar
Where I sat hands and knees prayed to that flicker
A holy VCR
But it’s not the same without the violence
I primal code left within me I keep silent
I have enough scars
And then finally I’ll lay my head forward
Maybe I’ll dream a better future
Nothing good so far
Nightmares and light polluted stars

Your hair pushed back, my arms relax
The space it breaks, your feet in place
This string we pull, to feel more whole
Is far more weak than we are led to believe

My skin is bare the nights I shared
With my words my unconscious stir
The dreams I had some small and sad
My nightmares build, a sweat stained quilt
