Oxygen
02:28
|
|

I breathe in oxygen
deep into my lungs
until they start to fill and swell,
and it's absorbed into my blood.
You breathe in oxygen
deep into your lungs
until they start to fill and swell,
and it's absorbed into your blood.
We both breathe in oxygen.

You'll Never Know
01:54
|
|
||
The grounds from the coffee pot
get caught in my teeth
like the words I want to say
but won't let free.
These vowels are sharp,
and they try to cut their way out,
bloody stutters
I swallow down.
Feeling like a silent movie,
I probably should say something.
I'll find the courage
in the laces of my shoes
to tell you
all the things you'll never know.

Without You
02:38
|
|
||
The stale smell of cigarettes
still rests in my clothes.
It won't be years until I'm homesick.
For now, I'm just sick of home.
Even though we fight,
I'm afraid of the day you die.
What will I do without you?

Your Favorite Ghost
02:00
|
|
||
Make me your favorite ghost
so I don't have to be alone.
Floating around your room,
I've never felt this close to you.
Make me your favorite ghost
so I can finally come home.

Me and My Friends
03:20
|
|
||
Me and my friends
are fighting beasts
with long, jagged claws
and sharp, crooked teeth
crawling in our skin
and sinking their teeth in.
I got a brick in my pocket
weighing me down.
I got bones in my closet
making loud sounds.
Me and my friends
are fighting beasts
with sharp tongues
and clever speech
hiding in the shadows
and riding on our backs.
I got a knot in my stomach
I can't untie.
If I swear I'm not nervous,
I swear it's a lie.

Falling Asleep
03:33
|
|
||
Falling asleep
and wondering
how long
I can
lay with my eyes closed
and pretend
I've lost count
of the sheep in my head
but not the times
I wished I were dead.
But if you're knocking on my door,
I'll let you come in.
I could use the company.
I could use a friend.
I can come clean in jokes
if you can laugh them all off.
I can smile for the camera
if it's okay when I cannot.
I want to stop playing doctor
and saying I'm fine.
I want to love myself
and believe that love is not a lie.
I want to love myself
like you love me.
I want to love myself.
I want to fall asleep.
