Couch

did you forget
what made you so upset?
turn off that light,
i can't do this tonight
your creaky bed
i pick the couch instead
it's damp and warm
every cushion is torn
if it's too late
for me to concentrate
i'll push my skin
against the porcelain

Country
04:54
|

|
it rained for three days in the country
the neighbors sunk into their lawn
i bit all the skin off my fingers
a penance for thinking too long
there's dust on the ground where you're sleeping
it fills in the cracks on your hands
you said you're alright with me leaving
but cried as you struggled to stand
on sundays we both wake up dirty
we lost all our friends in the rain
a jumper holds up all the traffic
tomorrow we'll see him again
i follow the rules so politely
to slow down the time that we have
slouching, i breathe in beside you
and cough it all out in a rag

Hollow

i follow you outside
you hollow me out and i
i don't mind, i like your fingers inside me
i don't mind, i like the feel of it
crawled out from under your bed
wish you were down here instead
you just scream until i'm back where you want me
you just cry until i fall asleep
sometimes i open the door
and find you there on the floor
tying knots along the length of your body
building bridges you can span to me

Skin
03:25
|

|
such a burden are dreams - silly, petulant things -
to remind you of what you have lost
silhouettes on the wall, shapes i can't quite recall,
speak with voices i've learned to forget
some things don't go away when i sleep
separating my skin so that you could come in
and you'd carry the weight i could not
i still think of the mess that i made in the bath
how you came in and helped clean it up
i still look up to you in the dark

Strange
04:41
|
|||
|
there's a portal on your lawn
shows me summers come and gone
bare feet on the kitchen tile
please just leave me here a while
i feel strange
i feel strange
tell me things we fought about
before all the lights went out
la la la la la la la
la la la la la
i feel strange
i feel strange
i feel
