Tremuous 03:42
i don’t deserve these arms that i keep like a sheath to my side i don’t have the words for a meaningful sigh as i try to hold tight am i holding too tight? talk to me my shadow, hold me close hide my head when i am in your throes toward this night, i stand and faintly shout you are the light of the moon, and i’m merely a cloud neutral gear drawn and decayed, every day it’s the same i’m barely here and i wish i could care, but it scares me to try maybe i’ve been too shy maybe i shouldn’t try talk to me my shadow, soft and cold hide me from that light i’ll never hold in these arms, i hesitate out loud you are the light of the moon, and i’m merely a cloud

Oregon 04:35
among the pines you stood against the firelight with heavy heart i focused on your eyes that night and under my own i hid a thousand blurring stars i was reminded i could never leave your arms your gentle gaze had seemed so distant from my own each passing thought was of you as i dreamed alone but since you have loved me i want only to be near and try hard to hold you tight enough to keep you here in your voice i hear the blood beneath my skin and i feel purpose where my sorrow once had been and i see you every time i look within and i can’t believe that you are mine and as you walk you mesmerize me with your grace and love is all i feel as i float around your space and when you look at me i am ice in your warm hands and how you can love me i will never understand i know it’s hard to put up with my tired words and i may not be everything that you deserve but your name’s the only word i never tire of cause you are the one who showed me i deserve to love in your voice i hear the blood beneath my skin and i feel everything where nothing once had been and i see you every time i look within and i can’t believe that you are mine

Mothing 03:11
i reside by a sea of disorganized thoughts where the tides wash and leave what i’ve had and i’ve lost here i’m lonesomely trying to ward off the pain of when we are outlying on separate planes i wish i could join you in silence the s’s and c’s of your whispers cut right through my head as they do when i’m with you but i cannot summon the strength to let go of them i let you down cause i’m too weak to grow i wish i were better and so futile and poor are the words that i sing like a moth on the floor with two weakening wings but in your gentle eyes it’s an omen of fortune that meaning’s all i wish my mind could look for i wish i were better i only want the best for you
4.
my body is my home, but i’m not of it here against my will, but i’ll learn to love it this fragile frame’s not broad enough to fit a man in the mirror i delude myself, “this is who i am” and my heart is acetone and my mind is everclear and the flame is overgrown and the sea won’t interfere and my fear is faint and slurred and inapt to some degree and my setting is absurd and my self is not at ease but although your limbs stay fastened to the floor myopic self, you still have so much to live for crushing my pills and dusting below my eyes i will be beautiful, or at least i’ll try

Oceantype 06:46
i am not the ocean type and yet i dream of being submerged waking up tomorrow morning with a conscience blank and free of words i am not the ocean type but i want salt eroding my two eyes chloride filling up my lungs dampening my tenuous replies oh headlights, you will be my sun sea floor, you will be my home if you will let me sleep alone for a while i am not the ocean type and yet i dream of a coastal room your shining face in every window warming my surroundings like a womb but in our solitary bed i worry you’ll be worrying too much and when i lose my novelty that i’ll retreat into the water’s clutch but ocean, don’t you let me in cause i will only cause harm remember i am always on my mind i will play the lone observer (you don’t need to hide your voice) my voice will stay below a murmur (no one else can hear you now) diminishing without a word i don’t want to hear this anymore i don’t want to feel this anymore
