arrows

walk around with the blue-eyed movies
the worst was found in a dry-creek fueled dream
but if I’m awake, let me go like arrows
stuck in your skin, a design that burrows
same old town, just the price of beauty
a chest impound, light it up like new years
I know you’re a saint, but let me off this flagpole
oh isn’t it great, well can you hear my eyes roll?
when I go down to the place where I thought I would never be heard from again
I walk around just holding the sound of my name till it jumps in my head
a lost and found’s just a terrible sickness with two parts of whiskey and dread
I should calm down but all that I know is the walk in the dark to my bed
but if I’m awake, let me go like arrows
alone in you’re skin, a design that burrows

you and I both seem to
remember the dreams we threw
lock up my rattle bones
sip till we leave alone
once I was echo proof
once 300 proof
together we built those stars
billions of little scars
and so,
a little slow
but we’re on our way
now that you know,
but it’s far away
so who will go?
leaving today
teeth on the road
planning to stay
I'm waking up dreams for you
remember you taught me to
live in a soft pink light
whenever i feel alright
that was the enterprise
that was the raffle prize
that was the wet cement
that was my first regret
and so,
a little slow
but we’re on our way
now that you know,
but it’s far away
so who will go?
leaving today
teeth on the road
planning to stay

put me in your suitcase
take me someplace away from here
tie me with your shoelace
walk all over me, walk in place
and oh, is anyone home?
to watch me as i go
but oh, is anyone home?
to believe me that I’m gone
love me with your two-face
give me smiles and watch me cry
bait me with a small taste
of a sweet face, of a lie
and oh, no i don’t know
to whom I owe this fate
but oh, well who could know
and say it out loud
leave me without a trace
take the small things i’ll erase
believe me when i say
i am better off this way

you and me
02:53
|
|||
|
real small atrophy
come down for free
in my dreams
I’m split at the seams
you’re the same
translucent brain
you're boxed in place
and left on your face
feel the sun and babylon coming back to me
and if you are, or if you aren’t it doesn’t have to be
you & me
you & me
feel the blood and camera flood coming after me
and if you want, or if you need well it’ll have to be
just you & me
you & me
