back and forth
through a revolving door of trust issues and false pretenses
floating away from all the impurities of this broken town again
falling away from a new endeavour
desperate for one more attempt
at anything that you might succeed at
drifting through a never-ending split
drowning in a flood of uncertainty
as you scorch the earth for anything you can't say no to
waking in a binary world
lying alone inside my mind
falling away from a new endeavour
desperate for one more attempt
at anything that you might succeed at
drifting through a never-ending split
ticking clocks falling off the hinges
one more night in the company of nobody I see
I could say I need you
but we both know I'm better off without

I am more than you’ll ever know
And I see all these things you’ve done to me
You think it’s so easy to tell me things you know not to be true
Till kingdom come you said
You’d drag me down to
The far depths of your insatiable desires
Walking with a ghost
To a light that’s burning out
I know I can’t escape
At least for now
I know you don’t want me to go
Just so you can stay and fuck with me again
You took so long to figure out how to keep me down
You don’t want to forget
Any moment of this
Each day you wake me up
To drill into me
But I can’t let you take
Me out just yet
So leave this mess for
Another time
Now if I left you wouldn’t notice anything
But I know you couldn’t stay too long
And for what it’s worth I think
You don’t want this anymore than I do

Hey Space Cadet

You fell into the sky
For the last time so say your prayers
I know you don't want to stay
So take what's left among the stars
A sunrise over your empty vessel now
With starlight filling your vacant words
I know you're waiting for a satellite to pass
Over every mistake you crawled underneath
But I can't save you this time even if you want me to
So take what you can and drift away
I can't take another hit from your syringe
You can't help but tell it to the sky
Singing to whatever seats are left
Preaching to an empty choir
I'll take another chance with one more dreamer
But it never turns out quite how you expected
And as the sun expands I'll search for a brand new
Beacon to hold on to
Now I won't force you down any path
But I can't fake it 'till you wake up and it's all been taken down

Halloween

Take me for a ride out where all things go to die
Under a desert sun washing my insecurities
Acting like you know all the paths I've walked
I see no trace
Leaving this place
For another
Halloween
Now you sit on the steps at twilight
Like a full moon rising for you
Drunk again on your own superstition
As a blood red sky takes over
Don't let me take control
Wide-eyed staring at the sky
Look for a new sign of anything at all
I see no trace
Leaving this place
For another
Halloween
Wait around for another meltdown
Sinking into the clay of yourself
In the undertow of my thoughts
I'll swim above
I can't take too long
Chasing every idea
Looking too the stars
For no answer

Broken Machines

Warm in the summer
Dry wind over green waters
Telescopes on patios
Lightning rods on the hilltops
Cascading over my skin
Leaving me to levitate
Desperate times
You want to leave and love again
Take me down and say I can’t forgive myself
A torch in the dark
Falling stars around my head
A slow routine for another
Cycle of this life
As I tell you I can love myself as well
All the missed conversations falling into the ether
Breaking down to build back up
Looking out for ourselves
Every word you say
Takes me out of this
As the clock runs out
I will wait for you
Circling this life
For one more time
I’m falling apart in front of you
But you don’t seem to mind
I wish that I could understand
Why I’m drowning in myself
Between the earth and the moon
We could lay above the sky
Drifting evermore
Into a great divide
