2:45 in the morning
Elliott’s singing
I sleep on your floor sometimes
It just feels safe
For both of us
Oh what i’d give to go back to those days
I didn’t even know the shape of your chest
You know it’s concave
A burden my boy?
You were the light in my life
How could you say that you’re heavy
Haven’t you ever met me
You can come home,
Carry your baggage over the threshold
I can cross it alone
And you can lie awake on your floor
But I’d rather you sleep here with me
How are your nightmares, do you reach out for me?
I think you lash out
I think you just struggle to see
That none of us are easy
But it could be
You’re probably right
I cannot keep your demons at bay
But I wish you stay
And tell me all of their names, what’s her name anyway.
Put down your pen
Lay down your head
You can come to me,
You can come to me,
When you’re ready.

I walk on a road
Sometimes alone
Stepping on ice cubes and learning to lie
About where I’ve been
The edge of descent
Standing on the porch where smokers hide
This makeup is burning my eyes
Does it even matter if I
Call him on the phone tonight
Somebody save me from what i’m about to do
Somebody save me i’m counting on, counting on you
Somebody save me i wanna go out again
There’s a grenade in my pocket and I’m pulling the pin
Dear, it’s three in the morning
Your netting is tearing
Sip on your water and rise from the floor
The whole room is watching
You've told all your war stories
Let’s steer this ship to the bay
We’ve all had a long
Day
You could have breakfast tomorrow and feel like a hero
You’ve purged out the last of the grey
You’re all red greens and blues now,
I’ve just called the driver,
You’re well on your way to okay
But it is so easy
To stay bitter I’m queasy
Somebody save me from what i’m about to do
Somebody save me i’m counting on, counting on you
Somebody save me i wanna go out again
There’s a grenade in my pocket and I’m pulling the pin….s out of my hair
I’m spinning I don’t even care
I’m taking the truth and the dare

radio silence

Black lips like newsprint
Speak the truth, Santana smooth
Didn’t mean to be so mean
Sugar headache makes me green
I need you clean
We don’t have to groom these dirty lies
We can just ruin it
Pull apart the seams throw em in the fire
Radio silence
I set the bar up so high that I run into it
Bitter & spicy dirty chai
The fever’s gone dry
Dreamy views, Hollywood hues
Paper’s old, the dated news
I read your cues
I’ll break your heart, I’ll sew it up
I’ll catch your tears in my king’s cup
Chorus

something so exquisite about the brink of a kiss
you never know what it is until you’ve said it
and i could love you for my life
if i never told why
cause i don’t even know
so i love you for now, i said
you said that isn’t a good enough answer
so i’m walking home for the first time in my life
thinking you might be north
and i’m thinking i might be wrong
but where can i go
where can i learn
two months from now where will i be
ten years from now will you still be under my tongue
and we will be in the same time zone
or will we be across the sea
that is the world according to me
always eons of space between you and me
that’s how i do things
and it’s beautiful just for a minute though
you don’t even know
you don’t even know
do do do you?
