falling asleep at the wheel
i want to let go of everything that i feel
it's been quiet for an hour or so
you've had your head resting on the window
i just want to turn up the radio
let my steering slip to the side of the road
close my eyes and let go
but it's something i never had the guts to do
you are so beautiful in your sleep
i cannot disturb you
so i think that i will wait until i drop you home
there are terrifying things i think of when i drive alone

Growing Pains

buy flowers, let them die, buy flowers again
i traced the outline of your reason with meticulous hands
i'm scared of change
but i'm scared of staying the same
when you left, you returned, then you left again
i traced the outline of my fears with reluctant hands
i'm not happy where i am right now
but at least i'm not still where i was back then
i stayed awake until the streetlights shut off
i watched cars carefully maneuver through the fog
there is nothing else i'd rather do
than lie here sleeping without you
i am growing, but there is no more pain
sun bleeds through the window to reduce the strain
close your eyes and sleep in the garden
reorganize the chemicals in my brain
buy flowers, let them die, buy flowers again

Headache Remedy

there is a universe inside your head
in every signal you send
every wavelength
cold and warm
i cannot fight all your battles
but i'll stay when you're bent and broken
in any way or shape or form
i will always try my hardest to be your headache remedy
and i will kill those things inside your brain that cause your apathy
but if i cannot help like the pills do
please still say that you love me
because i will always try my hardest to be the medicine you need
and i will take you anywhere you want to be
there is a universe under your skull
but i am gray and dull
every wavelength
black and white
my chest cavity was rotting
so you carved out all the bad things
and started stringing lights
i have never been romantic
just desperately in love
and there is an obvious difference
between wanting all or none
i will try my fucking hardest to be your headache remedy
and i will kill those things inside your brain that cause your apathy
but if i cannot help like the pills do
please still say that you love me
because i will always try my hardest to be the medicine you need
and i will take you anywhere you want to be
i will be anything you need me to be

Pressing Flowers

i want you to come and say, "i love you"
i want you to stay and say, "you're something i'll get used to"
but i know things are different and better if i go
because i will black your heart and tear your lungs
i am secondhand, cigarette smoke
you are strong and i am weak
i need you more than you need me
pressing flowers in my skull to remember:
there is something lovely inside of me
there are caverns in my bones filled with water
and all i'm asking of you is to hold your breath
a little while longer
while i frantically prepare myself for drowning
i have no other fantasies than to die with you
or have you die with me

La Luna

i still over-water plants because i don't know when to stop giving
i'm counterproductive
i stopped and stared at the mirror and broke it
my reflection went missing
i'm self-destructive
la luna y yo somos amantes
when you said, "i love you"
i don't think that you were being honest
the tides pulled me into the sea
the moon came down and sang to me
i tried to drown
you got sad when i got sad
but that didn't seem to cancel it out
no it didn't
i'm kinda, sorta, really good at tapping into older emotions
sometimes it's like my life is like a bottle of gin over the course of a weekend
and The Smiths don't play softly in the background when the sadness starts to sink in
la luna y yo somos amantes
