Oh, what got mixed up
in what was said our meant?
Still, I always forgave you
for all the shit you did.
You didn’t ask for it.
I kept a list of all the things
I wanted to forget,
The circumstances.
Tender tension
turned us terrible
Do I regret it all?
Do I regret it all?
Do I need a metaphor to tell you
I wanted to be yours?

Sitting on porches
Sharing sandwiches
Talking about transit
in New York.
You couldn’t believe it -
How the snow makes
the city brightest at night.
But then it turned toxic
The bad feelings set in
Filling up with regret
Bad for everyone
Oh, god damnit
Will this happen again?
Remember the beginning?
It was like love
but not quite love.
Moving through a new place
Can I find my way back
From where I left?
Riding on the subway,
Watching our faces
move across the city.
But then it turned toxic
The bad feelings set in
Filling up with regret
Bad for everyone
Oh, god damnit
Will this happen again?
Remember the beginning?
It was like love
But not quite love.

I wish I could
Climb down a well
Never see the light again
Amplify the night.
Down here, senses deprived,
There is total silence,
Enter peace of mind.
But even then could I pretend
Not to see the world I’m in?
I can only see the differences.
Don’t wanna be honest with myself
I’m so anxious
I’m so anxious
I’m so anxious
I wake up with
the taste of blood in my mouth.
I dream my teeth are falling out.
The only dream I ever have.
Pick myself off the floor
I want something more.
Thinking I’m finally ready now
To open the door.
I feel the superheat
It’s something I repeat
Mouth swallowing tail until
The circle starts curving out
Don’t wanna be honest with myself
I’m so anxious
I’m so anxious
I’m so anxious
I wake up with
the taste of blood in my mouth.
I dream my teeth are falling out.
The only dream I ever have.
The only dream I ever have.

When I
Spend my time alone
Feeling
Like I’m not so young
I fit myself into my own hands.
I touch on every place that I’ve been -
Bodies, lips, slipped into new hands.
Clinging like a bug on ceilings
To what I have felt before
I wanted more
But I’ll never have enough.
I’ve got tendencies,
Are my tendencies holding me back?
I can’t control,
I can’t control the end.
That’s the way it is
And I never had much to go on.
Denied.
Everyone’s got their own one.
But I never wanted to hold on
so tight.
I want it all right from now on.
But it goes on.
I’m old as I’ve been before.
I don’t get a do-over.
(So here’s the vivid moment
I’m scared I won’t remember
Here’s the vivid moment
I’ve waited for forever)
The past is the present
So why do I change my mind?
I never had much to go on.
Denied.
Everyone’s got their own one.
But I never wanted to hold on
so tight.
Never had much to go on
Everyone’s got their own one
Dragging us, time will go on
Oh, it will go on.

Swallowing,
I’m getting twisted in
a familiar spin
I unwind.
The moon is waxing thick
All of our lives are sick
I get in a new mind.
Take myself for a ride
Reflecting all the lights
No rest for pests
til they hit a windshield,
splattering.
The moon is waxing thick
All of our lives are sick
I get in a new mind.
Wasted again
I’m looking at myself
a gentleness
I know I can trust this
but it’s hard to do.
Somewhere I am
every decision I never made
or I made for no reason.
I’m sprawling out.
A dizzying feeling.
A million feelings.
I get in a new mind.
It’s been this night
a hundred times
And all for what purpose?
The moon is thick
Our lives are sick
I’m steadying up my spin,
I balance.
