King of wasted moments
Queen of wasted light
Cover them in violets
Kiss your sons and daughters goodnight
Too close to comfort
Too close for you
I need your touch
I need your heart
I'm the lack of fear in your eyes
I'm the stutter in your heartbeat
I'm a wreck laid out on the beach
I am spineless
So wake me up with a kiss
Like paint spattered on canvases
Tore it apart
Light stutters through the broken shards
I'm the lack of fear in your eyes
I'm the stutter in your heartbeat
I'm a wreck laid out on the beach
I am spineless
But human words are not enough
Bending backwards, foot in mouth

Keep Looking Back

You are all I've ever wanted
I an all you've ever had
I have kept you so supported
Like flies upon a spiders web
I keep my daggers in my stomach
You have the sense to pull yours out
You stitch your wounds, keep on running
While I am laying, bleeding out.
I think it's funny how
You go around
Being happy, like the
Idea was so profound
I think it's funny how
You turn around
Just to see if you are
Missing out
And am I everything you wanted?
Am I all you'd ever need?
With my temper and my sad, sad songs
I know you had your doubts
I think it funny how
You wear me down
Acting like you got
Fucked around
I think it’s funny how
We don’t talk
If this is what you want
I want out
So keep looking back

Reckless, Restless

Safe in your skin
Your fancy clothes
The only friends that
You've ever known
Does he notice
Have far you’ve come
Does he notice
Like I would
Restless, reckless
Senseless, endless
I would have brought you the moon
Would have shifted the tides
I would have brought you the moon
And ruined the whole sky
Feeling ragged if I’m being honest
I keep on talking I don’t stay on topic
I caught a wind there but I think I lost it
Never thought I’d be this damn neurotic
You ain't showing nothing so I just quit
I ain't wasting time I'm a realist
I give you my hand and you resist
Feelings that we fell but we dismiss
We ain't even that compatible
Every move you made was tactical
To get me to the point where I'm acting all irrational
Feeling like I'm mixing fucking aderall and Alcohol
And now we don't even talk at all
We fix ourselves by moving furniture
Restless, reckless
Senseless, endless
You can call me pathetic all you want
I’m out here moving on
Keep talking big, hope you’ll grow into it

Perfect balance
Just like hummingbird wings
Years of practise
Twirling round
Posing statuesque
And if I could erase you
You know I’d try
And if I could replace you
Know I would
But your still here
And I’m still hanging around
Call it a love/hate/love
Something I can live without
But I’m not worried
The same worms will eat you too
Pick old wounds
I still can’t stomach you
