you were alive inside of my head
for just the night yet I haven't slept
and I'm listening for a direction
it's hard to hear if this is you or just my recollection
but I'm so desperate I'll stay plugged in
tell me your thoughts on new vibrations
I've been awake to get experience
and all of this time I've lost my breathing
head in the clouds, in bed with the loudest message of you're doing
fine, it's just a rite of passage
pull up the sun, it's time for relief
why is the night such a joy thief?
and if my new friend in my head could console me
I think it would say you are lonelier than you believe
taking words and making them come out of me
I said hello and got no reply
must be asleep, I'll try it next time

The Ladder

I keep a file on you in me
expressive smile keeps me company
I took the years then the years took me
they call it renewable energy, say
keep climbing up the ladder
doesn't matter
you won't fall down
I find it hard to find the message
when in the scroll I read the excess
I should've known from the beginning you
can't lose the game if there is no winning
keep climbing up the ladder
doesn't matter
you won't fall down

your skin was so soft, it's where I used to rest
now it has hardened, your muscles have tensed
and I can't get comfortable, so I'll place my neck
off the side of your torso and wait for your peck
and I would admire the way that you said
things like
'how will I ever get you out of my head?'
you'll never kiss me the way that you did
when we spent the day in our bed under the lid
and I would admire the way that you said
things like
'how will I ever get you out of my head?'
a pain that is dull
a push or a pull

Float

funny how the funny things are
never what I'm laughing at
thinking 'bout your big mistakes
jokes you do not tell, you act
I was walking through my brain
to find the site where I complain
shut it off and walk away
and access parts that make me feel
alive, alive, alive
for a second I fell apart
I turned the key, but I wouldn't start
picturing a perfect world is
half as hard as living here
on the way out of my skull
I carved in your initials
so when I die they'll find your impact
ways you stood your ground when I was
alive, alive, alive

Deal
02:44

|

|
soft light blue
my hands on you
do you even know
how you'll be tomorrow?
you don't get to tell me
how to feel
I'll take the deal
read my lips
no script
and you'll understand
there's no other plan
you don't get to tell me
how to feel
I'll take the deal

Moths

oh little moth, why have you come?
to shade the walls and hide from the sun?
take my eyes away from focus
long enough to lose myself in your dance
flutter by into the ceiling sky above the earth
october trees, why must you leave?
strip yourself away until the new year
can't you stay in front of the light
so I can see you through my window before
nighttime falls and all that I'm left with is darkness
flashlights call the moths to dance for me and I am
free
