Crevasses

There's not a single scar upon my chest
There are a thousand holes inside my head
Dark and deep are all these crevasses
I'll take a peek if my eyes won't get wet
Falling down while feeling high
Unacquainted with my mind
nice to meet you

Mother
Father
What are you teaching me
Sister
Brother
Leaves fall off the family tree
Ooo
The world gets smaller
Maybe larger
Scared of losing sight of me
We're under water
Im always farther
Farther than I want to be
We all swim to some island
Ooo

Fish Tank

Born without asking
How could I give permission to a stork?
If you ask me I'd rather be asleep some more
Nobody really knows what they are in here for
Dropped into a swimming pool, splashing hard until our legs are sore
Bored with everything
Belly up in such a mundane tank
People stare and tap to try and see my face
I'm ready for the glass to break for me
The water carrying me to a place so far away they won't remember me

Ghosts

Why'd I come over
You all look really cool
Walls on my shoulder
I'm such a fool
I hear what you told her
But I won't talk over you
Even though I'm older
Even though I've had a few
I'm a ghost
We move out the doorway
Into the cold outdoors
Complain bout the weather
But I don't say anymore
Cool conversations
Happening around me
They feel like abrasions
Never go very deep
We're all ghosts

Lovesicle

Lying prone upon the pavement
10 below without a blanket
Her last embrace could keep me warm for hours
Now my love is moving away
That's why I can't get it up from this place
I couldn't budge for snow or storms or showers
I love you
Now my fingers have turned purple
My brains still going in circles
Smiling hypothermia begins
I still smell your scent on my clothes
It seems my arms are now icicles
I guess I'll be frozen in love for years
I love you

Land-Locked

Not a rebel but I've got no cause
Kickin' pebbles that don't effect this pond
I see your ripples you know I'm envious
But I'm a cripple
Suppose I'll take a seat and cheer you on
Dreams won't be my reality
Ships have sailed, I'm staying on this dock
Stormy gales
can't tear me away from solid rock
Dreams won't be my reality

Slow Dive

Slow dive
Don't die
You're fine
No really
Bright lights
He's nice
Her eyes
So pretty
Fall in
Pockets
That pit
That feeling
Feel it
Creep In
Stop it
You're silly
My mind flies
Time slips by

Stars

|
Out beyond the city's lights
Make a bed of the hillside
Stare at the celestial sky
Enveloping your sight and mind
Could I fall upwards forever?
Past the edge of the heavens?
Little planet spinning round
Why must we fall only down?
Sweet escape above the ground
Lungs might burst but here we only drown
Could I fall upwards forever?
Past the edge of the heavens?

Lullaby
02:46

Fragile, this side up
Frail little heart and lungs
One fall, then we're done
Others have to clean us up
Babies and grown ups
Everybody takes the plunge
Bucket lists, never done
Maybe we all sleep too much
Thanks for the mortality
Shut eyes, opened up
Watch life drain just like your blood
Don't keep them, shut too much
You'll feel like you missed the bus
Swimming in a half full cup
Maybe I just think too much
I'm still just a little pup
Could be I don't think enough
Thanks for the mortality
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
if I die before I wake
I'm not sure if I'll go or stay
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the reaper won't reap me
if I die before I wake
I guess I hope I fade away
