Little Balloons and Lit Candles

Maybe you and I could find the time
For just the two of us to someday
If that's okay
But for now, here's your present
and a card I made myself to say
Thanks for the invite, liked the music
And a night out, I sure could use it
I'll see you later, and well I
Hope you had a nice birthday

Oh yes, I am introverted
I've exerted all my energy to prove
No you've not got my feelings hurt, it's
Not some new bad attitude
I don't need to meet new people
Though I know you want me to
Just because I left the party
Doesn't mean it's 'cause of you

People are like cakes
There can be layers inside of us
Some like it plain, some like it fancy
Some with ice cream or with nuts
But the one thing that remains the same
In all us cakes, remember thus
No matter how nice the frosting looks
That's what you can never trust

Little balloons and lit candles
Don't get too close
Don't fly too high
Blow them up and blow them out
And cut the cake, hold tight the handle
Make your wish and share a slice
And say goodbye

Coast Virgo Copter Rock

There's a point in this lonely nightmare
Sharp as a tack on a map
In the middle of the ocean
And a bit to the left
Wherein my dreams feel more full
Than waking life
Real or not
The illusion is marked by its population
The Sandman's space by its weight
Heavy lids like swinging doors
And barren mornings
What a life, so dull
Even drudgery cuts
Kills.

Inclement Forecast

I can't stop caring
I can't stop loving you
Maybe you wouldn't treat me this way
If you still cared too

Sweater Weather

Maybe with this letter
Maybe with this gift
Maybe I might make it better
Maybe I could close this rift
Between us
I still hope
And dream us
Together

And I'll hold you like a sweater
If you want me to
Whisper love light like a feather
Or hard and heavy like the rain which
Falls for you

Maybe I've become untethered
Maybe i've been gone too long
Maybe all the storms we've weathered
Maybe I was never strong
Enough
I still sing
A song of us
Together

And I'll hold you like a sweater
If you want me to
Whisper love light like a feather
Or hard and heavy like the rain which
Falls for you

Wherever we go, have gone, or been
It's I and the rain
Falling for you again
All the strange ways we've changed within
I'll dry your eyes from the pain and
Hold you closer then
Hold you closer in
These waiting arms

And I'll hold you like a sweater
If you want me to
Whisper love light like a feather
Or hard and heavy like the rain which
Falls for you

Even if I can't make it better
I'll make it side by side with you
We'll warm together
While the world wakes
Bright and new

Maybe with this letter
I'll hold you like a sweater
And you can wear me
You can wear me out

PB&J

Try to keep on my brave face
Like fuck the haters
Lately I'm such a sad case
I might actually fuck the haters

You can call me what you want
I wish you'd call me who you want
I wish you'd call me
But I'm just stalling

Because I know the way time flows
And I can't go where I don't know

If I'm stuck in this spot
Why is my heart running
Don't give a fuck about me but
You're still deadly stunning

So my feet stay planted
Though my knees like dammit
Go all jelly like sandwich
With every syllable a pill
      too hard to swallow
Can't crunch the numbers
'Tween me and you, so hard to follow
And you're so smooth
Tell me the truth
Is this your last gambit?

You can call me what you want
I wish you'd call me who you want
I wish you'd call me
Shit I'm done stalling

Bad News

All your friends tell you that I'm bad news

And all your friends tell me that you are too

Maybe it's whenever we're together

But I've never ever ever had a friend like you

And friends aren't friends

If friendship ends

When it comes to some bad news

for every abandoned and lonely soul 
there's a former friend who felt it was their time to go
and the hurt you hold will still hurt the most 
left in the cold by those you used to hold so close
