Title: You make the better me

I try not to think about, try not to think about it
but I'm restless in the naked light
with you by my side, yours truly
I'm restless I long for you
I caress all that I give to you
all we have, all we have is
emptiness

you are enough for me to love
this time I see truth carried in rough hands
brushed into the cracks in you
and it changes, it changes, it changes me
for good
for you
for the better
for good
for you
for the better

and you are enough
enough for my begging hands to hold
join me to sweeter things
to days of content, of non plasticity

Chorus: surrender, upright
admit the unseen pillow stains
that crawl from your mind to your eyes
we take, we take, we take
all that we can so we make it
to make it together
take my body, take my hands, take everything
I'm restless, restless for you

and I had blue shades from ear to ear
but I shook them off, I crossed them off, for you
to see the better me, the habitants of the ever flowing sea
and I love, I love, I love you
a thousand skies high with you

I had to move, move, move
your motions too much
it creates nausea in my bones
the impact you have on me
do you feel it too? oh I long

chorus

ending: these four walls keep me warm for you
they never leave like you always do
I long for, long for, long for you
crave, crave, crave you
you're all I see, all I need to be a better me

Title: Belief in you.

It's the non existence of yourself and I
puts my eyes to shame, puts my soul to sleep
a sedative to your constant blames
a heroin who fails

and where my body lays
a collection of feathers
each branded with a little bit of you
and when you collapse, to hear the grind of your bones
you are home, you are recognised

Chorus: I can sense you're feeling lost
the paths of your mind are lead by the foolish hand in which I lead you
if you fall, I can't promise I'll stay with you
the things you can't be are there for me to see
to understand, to love you more for
I believe in you, in you

I've seen you in all your scars
caught up in wires made of previous encounters
and you're not to blame, oh of course you're not
i'll set your soul at ease
away from the dragging and gravity of the sea
I believe in you, in you

chorus

ending: and I can see you going far
as far as you feel that you can go
you think as you become
form, evolve into another
into a form better
let our hips collide
it's time for you and me
and all we can never be
to rise

Title: vein flow.

simplicity forms in the meeting of our lips
momentarily we're remorseful of words we never say
we always remember, remember the flaws of our time
push aside any grains of me at my best
the main participant of flaws

and you've the responsibility to let me know that, to let me know that
this is the flow, the crow of you and I
lingering in the darkness
covered in bare skin

Chorus: in your bedroom under the covers
where we are, out of safety
we blossom, I blossom, under you
we dream like canvas
waiting to be found
I don't want to discover you've gone
it's not too late to let me know, let me know that

it's wrong to be alive without you
the brush of your skin is enough to hurt
I don't want to discover you've gone
you should let me know that
what you're intentions are, if good, if any

I await an incline of romance
consistent lust drains my veins
my lung thuds heavy for your chance to change
my mind buried in my heart, lingering on my sleeves
it's time to let me know that

chorus

you want to run, you long to catch up on love lost
and you fade and you fade and you fade
into the nightfall
it's too late it's too late it's too late
for you to change now

Title: You.

You are gold, for the price of silver
you never think, you just become
the purest light lingers on your slender shoulders
and still you believe you're nothing special
I awake tangled in you
I remain in awe of your all
awaiting for you and I to grow, to blossom

and in my daydreams,
you speak so softly
beauty flows from your lungs to your lips
and I'll wait for you to fuck up
although I fear I'll grow old before I witness your mistake
this is the only chance I've got
and it isn't enough
enough enough for us both
there's not a sea big enough for you and I

Chorus: glide over, glide over me
breathe me in, spit me out through remorseful words
you claim you're grieving
you're bound to fall
my vessel sinks fast in your shallow mind
and tell me darling, who deserves to be superior?

I, for eternity, take the blame
if only you would hold me
momentarily forget about the world
if only, if only, if only
you'd rise above the violence in which our tongues fight

chorus


ending: to rule my world
to be thought of so fondly
and in my daydreams
you speak like summer clouds
you kiss like winter rain
you act like serene justice

Title: The downfall

forever buried in the depths of loneliness
suffocating on everything I'll never be
enough, enough, enough for you
visible flaws, outweigh any good in me
oh the possibilities I could endure, if I had beauty on my side
I sleep with silk sheets to feel soft, to feel you

I could never know, how to feel anything
anything other than low
picking apart my flesh and bones
until I'm destroyed, until there's nothing left of me but simplicity
innocent imitations of how we could be
I pretend I pretend I pretend you'd never retreat
in my imagination, you are made of gold

Chorus: a conversation for me to hold,
you're the reflection staring back
criticise me until I stand old
I promised to never listen
I promised to never understand
but when my heart flows bruises
you're hesitant to offer any forced hand
you move so fast, and I so slow
we're both the same somehow, so I'm told
we're both near as we are far apart

unseen comparisons,
thief of the mind,
I could never be rescued
drowned forever ago
for you

chorus

ending: I sleep with silk sheets
to feel soft, to feel close, to feel you
I rest beneath seas
to feel rough, to feel far, to feel you

Title: Breathe you (easy)

You're the liquid I weep
thickening with fear you run through the depths of my veins
my body a racecourse for failures you've yet to blame
I'm the shadow in the corner, waiting for you to come home
I'm the emptiness inside your head when you're all alone

You're all I need, all I need, all I need
I require you, needle to my skin
numb I'm oblivious to voices fading in
and I see you, I see you, I see you
standing there in awe of all that's in your sight

Chorus: You're all I need, all I see, all I breathe
intoxicated in the depths of my lungs
I inhale your touch, your sound, your mind
you're all I need, all I see, all I breathe
hidden in the dusty hinges of my bones
waiting for you to call
waiting for you to call

I'm part of the irreparable cluster
we're parallel lines
buried in our bodies
the constellations I forever see in you
I lack courage, I lack beauty

chorus

ending: I'm the shore to the ocean
I'd never leave you for one moment
you always come back, and you've no reason to
suffer, suffer, with the lack of everything I could never be
in your arms, I've yet to breathe

Title: Yearn.

My emotions as raw as the sun in denial
slowly surrendering to the night sky
I wait for you, I wait for you
this is the everlasting dream of you and I
the depths of my vessel are forever aching for you
for your touch, your reassurance, for your sanity
for comparison is a thief but with you I'm much better

my lonely heart with a rate so rapid
for your hands to see, for your lips to feel
we've to become lukewarm
aware of our surroundings
now that it isn't just us, never alone

Chorus: Tell me honest words through your silver teeth
I'll listen, I promise to try to be everything you feel inside
although you're not one to discover how helpful lies are
through the grit in my bones, to the delicate home I've survived

I'm the soar in the sky,
forever falling into you
I'm still unaware as to why
I treat you like I do
but it's the best that I can do
in such short notice, the acknowledgment of your beauty
wraps around my iris, throws my mind back and forth

chorus

ending: oh, and how wonderful it would be
for you to actually notice me, to take in every shade of my skin
to learn to love, learn to leave, learn to return
once more, once again
yearning, yearning for your presence
an art I seem to practice
