lyrics

in between lines
and cries for help that i struggle to phrase
i find a stillness i can’t seem to place
lodged in my throat
watered down like the crutch that i take
a dream from which i hope i never awake

but i lapse back each time you cross my mind
and dreams give way to fear each time i find
i’m no good at love

five desert lights
form her hand reaching out to my train
i turn away but the image remains
still i reach out
to feel the breath of a/c on my palm
try to stay calm, i just try to stay calm
i swear to god
that she is speaking to me out of frame
with eyelids shut it feels almost the same
“you’re not alone”
the sky goes dark and i claw at my eyes
try to stay alive, i just try to stay alive

sleeping serves no purpose to me
i try staying warm but i’d rather freeze
i’m no good at love
i’m no good at love

and i dream of being asleep
in white noise and concrete
and i’m trying to breathe
and i choke on release
and i’m losing my drive
to keep myself alive
and our night sky is shared
and that scares me to death
and i’m pulling my hair
i’m alone and afraid
and i know in just months
that i won’t cross her mind
there is cum in my sheets
and disease in my head
and i act like i’m well
but my hell’s become hers
