you grow in so many colours
looks nice in the light
sunlit, sleep-deprived
you are two-toned
i've been a mess since i arrived
so it's nice to have a friend in you
wrapped in blankets and chords
the lightness leaks from your chest
c'est ca, la vie
you are a man of your words
cancer born, not shell-bound
feels good to be alive
porcelain and smoke
you are a collector
and luck is on my side
well, it's nice to have a friend in you
there is softness and still
the lightness leaks from your chest
c'est ca, la vie
you turn into something nice
so, it's nice to have a friend in you
wrapped in blankets and still
the lightness leaks from your chest
c'est ca, la vie
you are a man of your will

SPACE

i saw the fire and backed away
guess the red inferno's not my place
i'm without what to offer
i'm hollow
empty space
you cannot stay
i am overgrown without grace
i am the rejector
i am the rejector
i am not brave
i won't sleep interwoven
i'm without what to weave
looks like dawn
i'm up at day
no words, but i don't need to say
i am leaving you now
you cannot stay
i am overgrown without grace
i am the rejector
i am the rejector
i am not brave

mystery you got it made
right between your fingers
you’ve been wearing the same shirt for days
aren’t you tired
do you sleep
glistening rock tucked tight in-between tides
mirroring moons
keeping neat
floating down your throat to line your insides
it’s been a while since you smelled sweet
carved some flowers into brick
by the side of your apartment
subtlety is not my strength
here i flinch in reprieve
glistening rock tucked tight in-between tides
mirroring moons
keeping neat
floating down your throat to line your insides
it’s been a while since you smelled sweet

rachel's eyes are like boulders
and i'm stuttering
if i stare into her long enough
i'm back where i've been
she's clear as diamond
she sees to the shore
she tears through the bedrock
she'll find all the things she was looking for
rachel sees straight through me
she is made of precious stone
i carry her into the earth
i build us an echoing home
rachel's ides are the ocean
and i'm lost at sea
she hides as deep as she holds
she'll find all the things she was looking for
rachel sees straight through me
she is made of precious stone
she leaves me sleeping and soft
she says she has somewhere to go
rachel sees straight through me
and i, i'm stuttering

do you like comfort
can i be comfort
submerged, my muse
for you i am water
moon leaves
sea dreams
warm shell
cancer boys
soft by sand
i can't help but covet
i am nothing more but built for ornament
in your eyes
deep sea
pearl night
endless tides
cancer boys
i am lost in fits of joy
can i collect
cancer boys
you are my helen of troy
and i am yours cancer boy

the water's red
it is a warning
and i will heed
what i am told
there are miles
beyond the city
i bet they're nice
i'll never know
i spend my days waiting for the night
maybe you'd like to sleep near me sometime
the err is dark
it's growing slowly
and i will heed
what i am warned
in the spring
you'll turn into
a million leaves
and all the animals
will bring your parts to me
i spend my days waiting for the night
maybe you'd like to sleep near me sometime
i spend my days waiting for the night
maybe you'd like to sleep near me sometime

HATING YOU
05:15
|

BY JOHNNY PAYCHECK
lately life with you has been unbearable
all my faith in you has gone and i know it wont return
i did everything to make you happy i could do
now you've gotten me hatin' things i used to love to do
and it wont be long 'til i'll be hatin' you
whatever happened to the love that we once knew
was it jealousy, or did you just grow tired of having me around you
after the beating my heart has took, it should be black and blue
but you just wont admit, that we are through
i did everything to make you happy i could do
now you've gotten me hatin' things i used to love to do
and it wont be long 'til i'll be hatin' you

zeus my swan
soft as clouds
lay your wings wide
let me down easy
(you make it look easy)
if i were smaller i'd slip through your hands
so i grow, my girl
i grow
lay your wings wide
let me down easy
(you make it look)
easy
zeus my swan
soft as clouds
what will you say about me
to the next girl?
we never really end, my girl
we never really end
my girl

CREEPING

BY JEREMY COSTELLO
i can see you in the creeping sidewalks on the edge of the town
if only i could be you again
my current understanding of the world
will make it easier to live
and let live
i could be you in a fleeting instant in the back of my mind
it’s lead is rather lengthy these days
these days
just a glimmer through the heavy darkness on the edge of the town
things are rather bleak out there
and no one pays attention to their love
they pay it off
out of sight
out of mind
silent sleeping is the only solace in a world on the edge
always fleeing from the sunlight, my friend
you’ll never stay
always fleeing from the sunlight, my friend
you’ll never stay

the ceiling is closer than i remembered to your bed
so i sleep on your floor again
i sleep on the floor
she says i should let you go
but that's hard and i don't like hard
i want to stay indoors
i will call you in the morning
i will crawl in on all fours
i want to sleep forever
i'll leave my name by your front door
the ceiling is closer than i remembered to your bed
so i sleep on your floor again
i sleep on the floor
