I watched a priest eat colored pencils He said, “The orange ones lie the most” You wore a wig made out of antlers Said your shadow moved like toast A subway coughed up plastic sparrows We fed them soup and old receipts You hummed a hymn through bent mascara While chewing socks instead of sweets Split the moon and paint it green Talked to frogs on kerosene Laughed until the floor gave in You and me and phantom skin We found a dog inside a mirror Taught it math and let it choose It barked a list of favorite seasons Then floated off inside your shoes You broke a phone to hear it whisper The dial tone said, “Paint me red” So we stitched a quilt of blinking coupons And slept beneath a loaf of bread Rooms with teeth and curtains wide We made friends with things that hide Chalked our names on someone’s eye Kissed the screen and said goodbye You borrowed my tongue for a lecture Spoke fluent geometry lies I folded my thoughts into gum wrappers Left them twitching with the flies Your name is a hex made of toothpicks You walk like a bishop in glue We danced ‘til the ceiling turned inward And coughed up a miniature zoo Teacup dive in soda rain Scratched the rules on windowpane Slept inside a paper van Woke up pink and called it “man” The custodian sings in binary As the lobsters attend their review We all wear our regrets like seatbelts In a car with no use for a view He has been howling in Morse code Through a straw taped to a broom He said he saw you in a raincoat Filled with copper and perfume So I’ll meet you in aisle eleven Where the ghosts sell outdated cream We’ll trade names for a noise in a bottle And forget how we got in this dream

Home
Your coffee mug still sits where you left it Like everything else, frozen in time The counter's too clean now, too empty I can't bring myself to move what's still mine The mail keeps coming with your name I stack it neatly by the door The plants are wilting on the sill I never knew which ones needed more You made this house feel like a home for the very first time Now that I'm here alone, it no longer feels like mine The couch holds shape where you would sit Your favorite blanket, still unfolded Half-empty bottles in the bath The toothbrush holder, getting colder The key you left on the table Still catches morning light at nine The fridge has pictures of us smiling I should take them down, but I'm...... You made this house feel like a home for the very first time Now that I'm here alone, it no longer feels like mine You made this house feel like a home for the very first time Now that I'm here alone, it no longer feels like mine
So Tired
I'm so tired, I need some sleep I'm so tired, it's been a whole week I'm so tired, here come's the sun I'm so tired, now I'm done. Seven days without a break Mind's a blur, too much at stake Need to find some peace at last The times are moving too goddamn fast Body aches from head to toe Energy is running low Hours pass without a rest My mind won't let me decompress I'm so tired, I need some sleep I'm so tired, it's been a whole week I'm so tired, here come's the sun I'm so tired, now I'm done. Morning comes without a pause Sleeplessness without a cause Days blend into forever nights Before i know it's already light Time to heal, to close my eyes Find the rest beneath these skies Hoping sleep will finally come Before another day's begun I'm so tired, I need some sleep I'm so tired, it's been a whole week I'm so tired, here come's the sun I'm so tired, now I'm done. now I'm done.
My Favorite "What-if?"
Coffee cup, half full Your hand near mine Almost reached out Let the moment pass by You are my favorite "what-if?" but i stay shut-in Message typed out late Delete, delete Your name on my screen Stays unsent, incomplete You are my favorite "what-if?" but i stay shut-in What if I had stayed? What if you had known? What if we had tried? What if.....? Perfect in my mind Always just right No messy endings Just beautiful maybes beautiful maybes maybes Sometimes late at night I close my eyes And there you are Perfect alibi What if I had stayed? What if you had known? What if we had tried? What if, what if... Perfect in my mind Always just right No messy endings No tears at night Just beautiful maybes maybes What if I had stayed? What if you had known? What if we had tried? What if, what if... What if I had stayed? What if you had known? What if we had tried? What if, what if... You are my favorite "what-if?" but i stay hidden, shut-in Same street corner now Walking past slow Your eyes catch mine But I just let go Perfect in my mind Always just right No messy endings No tears at night Just beautiful maybes maybes What if I had stayed? What if you had known? What if we had tried? What if, what if... You are my favorite "what-if?" but i stay shut-in

All the Same
Look around, what do I find? Hundreds claiming, one of a kind Same opinions, so refined walking paths, already designed Different faces same reflection Mass-produced imperfection Standing out, by fitting in Breaking rules, that never been Call it new, call it rare But I've seen it, everywhere Different faces, same direction Programmed self-expression Slogans stitched across the chest Tattoos that all read “I’m the best” Rebels branded, pre-approved Uniforms concealing truths Different faces same reflection Mass-produced imperfection Scan the crowd — grayscale parade Curated flaws in custom shade Even chaos seems rehearsed Scripted weirdness, tightly versed Different faces, same direction Programmed self-expression Shout your truth, with another's throat Quote a meme, call it a quote Name it bold, name it divine But it’s printed down the line Different faces same reflection Mass-produced imperfection Different faces, same direction Programmed self-expression
My Side
Remember when we'd Paint the walls Share it all Never fall Now the calls Ring and ring While I sing To nothing The pictures fade away Each passing day Well you're supposed to be on my side I didn't realize how great the divide Remember birthday cards And summer stars Now we're so far So very far The space between What could have been And what we are Well you're supposed to be on my side I didn't realize how great the divide Remember when we'd Paint the walls Share it all Never fall Never fall Never fall Remember when we'd Paint the walls Share it all Never fall Now the calls Ring and ring While I sing To nothing Empty chair Sunday noon Different tune Too soon, too soon Words we spoke Turn to stone All alone Back home Well you're supposed to be on my side I didn't realize how great the divide I guess that's what we're about Empty chair Sunday noon Different tune Too soon, too soon Words we spoke Turn to stone All alone Back home Well you're supposed to be on my side I didn't realize how great the divide What we're about Remember when we'd Paint the walls Share it all Never fall Never fall Never fall
Do Not Regret
I am still haunted by the idea of us It will take some time, some time to adjust I do not regret you for our wild dance When flowers spoke in riddles and rain played its trance Walking crooked pathways where logic dissolves Grateful for the madness as reality revolves I am still haunted by the taste of purple days But I'm finally ready to paint new strange ways I'm not the quickest man but I'm not the slowest I tried so fucking hard and nobody noticed Maybe i was blind then swimming in honey seas While truth hung like fruit on synchronized trees Breathe in ancient spells now, let illusions dissolve Watch as patterns spiral as new forms evolve I did not remember you, I did not remember you, I did not remember you, I did not remember you. I won't chase forever these shapeshifting seas Time flows like warm wax through peculiar means Walking crooked pathways where logic dissolves Grateful for the madness as reality revolves I do not regret I do not regret (i do not) I do not regret I do not regret (i do not)
Find Our Way
i only need someone, that's got my back i can sit next to, be myself and stop the act listens quietly, and knows the words I can't express truly sees me, and knows the thoughts I can't confess When the world gets noisy, we'll find our own sound A song that's ours, where hearts and minds are bound In a world of chaos, we'll carve our own way A rhythm that's ours, where souls find their sway I just need someone who's there for me Someone I can relax, be myself and truly free Who listens with care, understanding words I don't say Sees the real me, knowing thoughts I hide away When the world gets busy, we'll create our tune A song just for us, in the sun and the moon In a world so wild, we'll make our own track A beat that's ours, where souls never lack I just need someone who's there for me Where I can be free, just to be completely me Who pays attention, knowing words I won't say Sees the real me, aware of thoughts I hide away When the world gets restless, we'll find our own time A time that's ours, like a truth we climb In a wild world, we’ll shape our own space A spot that’s ours, where souls find their place In a world of chaos, we'll carve our own way A rhythm that's ours, where souls find their sway In a world so wild, we'll make our own track A beat that's ours, where souls never lack In a wild world, we’ll shape our own space A spot that’s ours, where souls find their place In a world of chaos, we'll carve our own way A rhythm that's ours, where souls find their sway
