go away

I want to fall in love with nature I want to fall in love with you I'll learn how to capture your curves With the ones in my written words And the lines beside my mouth

He speaks with such sweet words And I hate him Because when he leaves I'm left with holes in my teeth That make the thought of fresh air painful down to my gums

I stared at the sun It glared back until one of us gave up The moon was no match for me

I can tell by the way your shadow is angled and the time That you plan on puppeteering mine Strings wrap around my neck and limbs Tied to others whims My chest is left My torso bores Births a fickle forest that ignores the seasons

Can I be told when I’m all used up I don’t feel like I’m giving away pieces That’d mean I could be put back together I feel so burnt out Like ashes are sprinkled into the noses of my friends And that happiness stays in everyone’s system but my own

I push out the air and understand

My feet go with the flow of time And instinctively move forward But my fingers grip onto the past And my body is stretched along Everything and everyone until it's torn And I can't tell my yesterdays from years

I don't think I want to disappear anymore I want to be the most vivid image your eyes could see What could that be My voice drones into monotony And I hum and hum along I'll keep screaming until my voice hits something and is interrupted and I know it's there My eyes have frozen shut You remind me of warmth in the night When I can't see the moon From the comfort of my room And know that there is light Ulcers from butterflies Longing for night skies With you by my side And to eat your eye So you can see what's truly inside I will do everything earthly possible Skies will not limit me The same way oceans try to limit what I call home You are light for the heavy-hearted

They say actions speak louder than words But my hands don't have as much reach as my voice does So I've become all talk I'll see you when I see you And I'll be him But I won't be there

I would breathe in your calming blues My tongue would turn yellow Unable to show my true colours I kept my mouth shut

I know where I stand Ankles in the shallow end Wetness behind my ears If I could face anyone I'd survive and run But for now I'll lay here

I went to the orchard And came back with a bruised face I bit off more than I could chew And I knew shame

My jaw burrows into the ground Flowers burst through my tastebuds The pollen I sang attracted bees And the worms, birds I could support life I can support life I could support life I get this warm feeling in my chest And my throat burns As if I would cough out suns That could light all your cigarettes And bleach your teeth Let's talk until we repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat Become so predictable that we have to learn new words I want to know love I want to know what's love I want to know My eyes are fixated on your dry lips I know mine could fill the cracks I want all of your little heart attacks And to know if you could say it back You say your head is like cotton And I'm trying to pick at it Like it's in my nature But that's just what I go on I can't help you I can't even help myself I wrote this for you So please listen to what's written I want to know if I can stay here Because I want your "Good morning"s and better nights And if not, that's alright

I got all my things ready last night Why am I unprepared Why is my bed made of glue And blanket sandpaper when I move

My chest feels like old honeycombs And my arms are abandoned churches These hands used to worship and be praised My heart had something sweet but now vacancy Gather all your friends Bring them into me

I get this warm feeling in my chest And my throat burns As if I would cough out suns That could light your cigarettes And tan your teeth

My jaw burrows into the ground Flowers burst through my tastebuds The pollen I sang attracted bees And the worms, birds I could support life
