Excavation site in my bedroom
Dust off my skull from
When I was an actual person
Separate my body
From my stupid head
They love each other
But they’re better off apart
Basking in the glow
Of all the ugliness
Is that the sound
Of stained glass breaking?
Everything you knew is put in front of you
Nothing you ever felt came from the inside
Say it, say you don’t care
Say it or walk away
Say it, say you don’t care
Say it or walk away
Hulking in the know
Of all the gloriousness
Hulking piercing sound
Of wrong bones aching
Everything you knew is put in front of you
Nothing you ever felt came from the inside
Say it, say you don’t care
Say it or walk away
Say it, say you don’t care
Say it or walk away

Splintered Gaze
02:11
|
|||
|
I pricked my finger in the bathroom
See the blue, gooey liquid
Running down my wrist
To the cracks in the tiles
Subhuman submarine
In the bathtub
I sink to the bottom
Looking up at them
You say nice to meet you
I say nothing
You meet my splintered gaze
And smile
One night I remember
That it can taste sweet
I can move body
And feel the heat

Part of Me
03:27
|
|||
|
Gold in my hands, gold in my heart
Everything’s so blissful at the start
Here it comes again, leading me astray
Join at the water's edge, ask if I'm okay
This is the part of me
This is the part of me
That will never win you over
This is the part of me
This is the part of me
That will never win you over
Folding my hands, there's trouble every day
Clawing my way out before I suffocate
Warning signs abound, a love becomes a hate
I'm stubborn and I’m sad, pushing you away
This is the part of me
This is the part of me
That will never win you over
I turn and watch you leave
I turn and watch you leave
Go and find another lover

Keep It Inside
03:14
|
|||
|
Time as a commodity
Yet it’s so arbitrary
My body shapes it
Bends it and breaks it
To protect me
From the pictures that I see
Try not to hide
Sit around get high
Learn to be alone as an instinct
Keep your distance from the one
Who thinks ignorance is justified
As long as you keep it inside
Keep it inside
Born an anomaly
You convince yourself
You deserve the best
And stand out from the rest
And I can't break the mold
But if I do what I'm told,
You'll keep hurting them
And come back again
Learn to be alone as an instinct
Keep your distance from the one
Who thinks ignorance is justified
As long as you
(Learn to be alone as an instinct)
Keep it inside
(Learn to be alone)
Keep it inside
I’d rather be nothing than the trash you left behind
I’d rather be no one than a dent in your pride
Let’s keep this simple and rip it off fast
Before you find out I’m a coward and a hack

Sink Into the Sand
03:52
|
|||
|
Study all your facial features
Try to learn to read you
Without meaning, you are so cruel
Born without a mind you could love
If I tell you why I’m bleeding out, you’ll just sink right into the sand
You look at me with such disdain I know I’ve done something wrong
But I'm afraid if I'm alone with my thoughts, I won't last very long
So I make this loud noise with my hands, lie awake and pray it all goes away
Become the thing itself,
Shriveled and without a mouth
But still gaping somehow
Turn the body inside out
Sanitize and scrub it down
Quarantine the thought of how
I could say it out loud
Become the thing itself,
Shriveled and without a mouth
But still gaping somehow
Turn the body inside out
Sanitize and scrub it down
Quarantine the thought of how
I could still make it out
Head underwater
Can’t see the thunderstorm
Passing through on a summer afternoon
The irony sets in
Legs feel unstable
The flowers she bought me
Are nailed to the table

Pretty Boy
02:35
|
|||
|
I want to be a pretty boy
If you’ll let me
Want you to be a bit surprised
Every time you see me
The sunlight scattered through the shades
This place is home to
A perfect feeling you can’t shake
But I’m not with you
Outside my body again
All the traps in my head
Left behind sleeping in bed
I miss walking around on that night in the rain
All the water in our eyes street lights on your face
The hurt I hid from you so long
Starts to show through
How do you tell someone you love
That they don’t know you?
Outside my body again
All the traps in my head
Left behind sleeping in bed

Reservoir
03:42
|

|
Let me introduce myself
I’m the bug you stepped on earlier
I quite like the soles of your shoes
Lots of me-shaped grooves in them
Hide away
In this corner of my brain
I look away
I hide my face
I let myself waste away
In this wasteland
I let myself waste away
In this wasteland
Reservoir
Of my inner thoughts
Terrified of getting caught
Coralite boy
Swim through the fog
Give it all one final shot
Spent the summer in a peach
Holding hands secretly by the pit
Magically float above the sea
Juicy veins, sticky sweet aftertaste
Hide away
In this corner of my brain
I look away
I hide my face
I let myself waste away
In this wasteland
I let myself waste away
In this wasteland
Reservoir
Of my inner thoughts
Terrified of getting caught
Coralite boy
Swim through the fog
Give it all one final shot

Rut
03:16
|
|||
|
You walk the line between satisfying my every need and trapping me in the same rut that I’ve been in for years
You’re wasting time smothering me while I’m stuck deciding if it’s worth the guts to try and break out of this rut that I’ve been in for years
You make it harder than it should be
To be a decent human being
You make it harder than it should be to feel like a real human being

Kaleidoscope
03:14

|
We’re past the hardest part
Never had you from the start
My voice stopped sounding right
Life stays still, cauterized
Kaleidoscope boy
Changing shape
Unwhole unholy
A hole in my chest
Maybe that’s why you left,
Nothing to latch on to
Drive hours to get outside
Move muscles, feel alive
That nameless blank I know
Blood vessel, hollow home
Kaleidoscope boy
Changing shape
Unwhole unholy
A hole in my chest
Maybe that’s why you left,
Nothing to latch on to

Night Star
03:33
|

|
Quit while I'm ahead
Stop before I make my bed
And lie in it
When I'm almost out
Little good
Little good
Pulls me back in
I'd stay if you ask me to
But you know you shouldn't ask me to
It's getting harder to stick around
It's getting harder to stay
It's getting harder to stick around
It's getting harder to stay
Weighing options
Biding time
Endless searching for what is mine
You'll grow roots here
Your own night star
Is it worth leaving
to watch from afar?
Drawn to stay by the love the sight
But I need to keep moving to the next height
It's getting harder to stick around
It's getting harder to stay
It's getting harder to stick around
It's getting harder to stay
