I talk to girls that brings their switchblades to the function
And dye their buzzcuts black

Shut your mouth and take your ...

Leave me to my own devices
 it's better when your coca-cola eyes are out of my face
 I checked your phone and no surprises
 She's grinning from ear to...

I’d lick the grief right off your lips
You do your eyes like Robert Smith
Sometimes it seems like you won't survive this
And honestly it's terrifying

As cold as an old ice cream sandwich
As focused as Mr. Miyagi
You poke at your phone postin' aerial photos
Of you with your smoothie
I can't keep on m...

You held me
 You held me so hard I went bluish
 I resolve to set boundaries
 I went bluish, I went bluish
 Smothered me with fake blood and ginger

Charlie drank it till his eyes burned
Then forgot to eat his lunch
Pain was built into his body
Heart so soft it hurt to beat

When you turned up at my house
Hair dyed silver mumbling apologies

Yeah

I had a dream we kissed
And it was all amethyst
The underpart of your eyes
Was violet
You hung a cigarette
Between your purple lips

We've been ...

Making rainbows out of something painful
Getting fried as hell and dodging gravestones

Telling me the drugs will only make me weak
Don't you think I ...

Every second counts
I don't wanna talk to you anymore
Yeah
All these little games
You can call me by the name I gave you, oh
Yesterday
Hey, yeah

Ever...

Why do we make the simplest things so hard?
 I bought you breakfast and you started your rings
 The air was fragrant and thick with our silence

Collapsed in sunbeams
I see myself ablaze with joy
Sleepy-eyed
Feeding your cat or slicing artichoke hearts
I see myself sitting beside you
Elbows tou...

Saturday was rotten to the core
Terrified of turning 24, wet-eyed paranoid

Promising to rise above the thoughts

 Kitchen light like blades through your body
 The party's ablaze
 We grew apart when you we...

And I never felt loss like that, and I pray I don't have to
See him...

 Looking over shots of Harley Weir

 Oh, I felt so dumb
 When I told you square
