what could have lived here
in the space between our miseries?
again it is cyclical,
the tape plays backwards
he speaks through me
what else is out there?
i hope you'll sit and watch it with me
you are a healer
i'm a sightseer
you make my faith run thin
and the hair stand straight on my neck
you make me believe again
i won't apologize for grieving
or for thinking that i too might die
i feel it concurrent with happiness
and we don't have to pick a side
what else is out there?
i hope we sit and watch it all go by
you are a healer
i'm a sightseer
you make my faith run thin
and the hair stand straight on my neck
you make me believe again

tell me where i went wrong
did i push you too hard?
did i just go too far?
i guess i made you want to run from me
did i want you to go though i felt so alone?
i couldn't keep my emotions in a row
i wanted to blanket you in my fear
but now you're not here
i'm running down the parkway
giving it all away
i am wishing you were there to hold my hand
taking me down again
i don't want anyone to know
you're giving it all away
i thought it would be easy to let you go
did i force feed you this
out on the precipice?
making me rethink
my love and my religion
i held you out to the fields and the fire
i thought i gave the chance
for something good to pass
i let you watch all this through a looking glass
i thought i held you on a much thinner wire
but now you're not mine
you're flushed with indifference
making me want to be harder to find
you hold your thumb to the road
you flash a smile, overexposed
i don't want anyone to know
you're throwing this all away
i thought it would be easy to keep you home

i let the breeze in through the window
i watch you sing while you clean the floors
i guess i turned into your shadow
if i were any less i'd wish for more
if i ever leave you it will be for a woman
someone who screams my name and whispers her own
someone who falls asleep in an armchair
who never questions if i gave you more
this day begs to be written in a sermon
a warning that bleeds the ink all over my hands
i let the breeze out through the window
i beg for distance, you beg for a second chance
and if i ever leave you it will be for a blessing
i will run your name across the highest sea
and my new woman will keep me guessing
my heart aches for a break inside of me
sometimes i dream you run into her on a busy street
sometimes i just want you to scream at me
you drop your keys and she whispers alluringly
i think i knew you in a past life
in a house made of a moon on either side

first friend in a new city
first one who i think gets me
i will fill you with fake blood
i will make you less cold
playing pool in your little town
a smoky bar far removed
we knew what laid between us
but didn't act for fear it'd end us
i wish you were here right now
after one glass of red
i think that i'm a writer
after one sip of whiskey
i can be your future
but i'm your heat
and you left me
in the dead of winter
you are the cult of the number one
and i will love you
with my eyes shut
through suffering, through celebration
i dreamt about shooting up
i dreamt about your glow
i thought i saw the flood
but how could i ever know?
all we want now
is a cheap place to live
sitting all around the floor
we'll have champagne out of crystal
but no furniture

isn't it a little much now?
we play with live ammo and
get scared when the gunfire sounds
but i don't hold it against you
we're driving through this goddamn ghost town
we'll stumble into the only bar
that hasn't seen our faces yet
on the evening news
but i've decided to take my death at any time
i'm reminded that you told me it'd be fine
and i don't want to wait
for you to go first
have we had our fun now?
i'm looking back, i see every light is on
and they're gaining on us
moving swiftly to the edge
you're taking me back to camp now
you say that only god can judge us
and he's focused on someone else
we're just looking out for ourselves
i've decided to swallow my heaven in my hell
i'd share eternity with you
but not in a goddamn jail cell
and i don't want to wait
for your mind to change
i stay blinded
you're a roller coaster in my heart
i try to hide it
i try not to tear you apart
if i open that gate
then you can't be safe

he told me not to worry
there's no need to be afraid
i can cry on my own time
in some other place
you know i want to save you but i've got to save myself
i woke between the trees and knew i had to meld
my feelings and my virtue
my heart and my soul
the crystal tells the future that i now have to hold
so fall asleep in that tent
wake up with the sun
keep your anger in your chest
hold your breath until he's done
hold your breath until he's done

confirm my suspicions
relax my ambitions
i don't want to tread lightly
i don't want to be there to watch you break the glass
pull the table right off its feet
what is it like now not to be afraid to take up space?
can you even stand still?
i reinvent the wheel and still feel like
i don't do enough like i am hard to love
like all my fears are founded
my nails are pounded
into the walls of this uncanny dollhouse
what else can we suffer through, can we even blame you?
you're just the one with the flashlight in the hotel room
my eyelids are heavy on a red-eye flight
old fashioned drunk in the dead of the night
tattoo a name on your neck that you didn't accept
cover it well with bruises and shells
if you take us back, you can have what we have
take it all all off the top top shelf
your mythic is wild
makes me cover my ears like a little child in the other room
i can hide from the sound but not from you
or have you gone away?
is it fair for me to say that i only miss you for half of the day?
but when the sun is bright or at the end of the night
i can fold into myself and
fight the urge to drive off and
become a lost cause
no one believes the woman that's cost another person's life
because she fears god and
god looks like a sinner
her god talks like a sinner

in the backseat of your car
i forgot how to speak
i was afraid of all the color you'd see
in the backseat of your car
i was bound and gagged
by the heat of the words you were too proud to say
and the curve of your hand by the edge of the pier
i wanted to be far
i stay near
and i wonder if the wound you made out of me
will stay in the backseat
i couldn't see joy
i couldn't feel scared
the only thing i feel is unprepared
i'm sinking now like the coast's been for years
out towards the city, the memory appears
i can't call them my home now
it's more than a word
underneath the abandoned parking lots
a colony of crucial anxious thoughts
we mark our love with paint
on the dead metal frame
i arch my back underneath you
death on the way
from the boardwalk we crawl
towards the city's blue smoke
a cycle, a freakout, a heartless cruel joke
i can't catch a break
my wordless mistake
i'm harboring thunder
i crack at the base
my lunar's your sonar
a fool's steeplechase
from the boardwalk, i wave
goodbye to my home now
my friends and my faith
in the backseat
i wanted to love you
i swear that i tried
i keep you below me
my spiritual guide
my angel's your demon
my end is your start
all that i ask for is to rip me apart
can you rip apart now?
in the backseat

weather forever

they were lovers who lived in a van
she went missing
he did his killing in his head
and we can't decide if they're in disguise
they wanted to be free and far
but they found out the make and model of their car
you were a token
you were a game
one that he was more than willing to play
and you folded like a house of cards
you were a light that wouldn't go out
you were the basement of a haunted house
skinned knees on asphalt
you're a work of art
out here there are no normal conversations
out here there is no hesitation
out here it's weather forever
out here you find facts in your fiction
out here you hold onto your lessons
out here we reinvent three times a week
out here it's tide pools on the sidewalk
out here it's tarot cards and slow talk
it's advice to escape the weather
out here the snakes turn into trees
out here we find a reason to believe
that it won't be weather forever
out here the fire fills the sea
out here we give each reason to believe
that it won't be weather forever
