Emigrate

You, lit all in white,
you’re the coastline,
still dividing everything in sight in two.
The floor was a tide,
it’s all that I want, it’s all that I wore in time.
Hardly anything, hardly anything works now...
You made up for my life, celebrate it!
Annotating, everything’s implied.
It grew,
I just couldn’t decide,
for all that I want, I’m dying to scale its side.
Better wide-awake, better hide, but I’m forgetting where I came from.
Better emigrate, better try, but I’ve forgotten what I’m made of.

Birthplace

Be it at your best,
it’s still our nest,
unknown a better place.
Narrow your breath,
from every guess
I’ve drawn my birthplace.
Oh, I don’t need a friend.
I won’t let it in again.
Be at my best,
I fall, obsessed in all its memory.
Dove out to our death, to be undressed,
a love, in birth and reverie.
I don’t want a friend.
I won’t let it in again.
I don’t need a friend.
I won’t let it in again.
Here, at my best,
it’s all at rest,
‘cause I found a better place.

Hear that?
Oh my god, I’ll fill the coffee over!
Tear out
all my love until my blood runs sober.
Oh, let me down,
my body’s sinking, I can feel it now.
Oh, hear me out,
I’ve been thinking I won’t stick around.
See that?
Oh my god, I think we lost control!
Feel that?
Don’t mind me, I won’t be here for long.
So please don’t tell me now,
I swore it for you once and it gets me down,
so please don’t tell me now.
Oh, get me out!
My body’s shaking, but I don’t fear it now.
I’ll sing it out, thank god you’re shrinking, ‘cause I won’t be around.
So I would take a bow!

Seneca

I could make it all feel far away.
I would race my age out of this place,
separate.
“Pile your clothes for a better run”, I was told.
Save your life as all you’ve ever known and ever owned.
I should bathe it out to feel sun,
I’ll trade space to hit the ground and run,
shout it proud!
“Pile your clothes for a better one”, I was told.
Save your life as all you’ve ever known and ever owned.
Ain’t it funny how we went nowhere?
Given the chance to break, would you be on your way out?
Who are you?

Dream it, repeat it, if I couldn’t be there,
thieve it, believe it, so I wouldn’t need it.
Be it naive, if I couldn’t see it,
leave it, repeat it.
If I could be fearless now...
I’ve fallen for it!
It’s foreign, the feeling’s ours, and I’ve fallen for it.
I’ve fallen for it somehow...
Time won’t make it right, I know that.
I can’t make it mine, I know that.
Time won’t make it right, I know that.
I can’t make it mine,
I’m over.

Here, I’ll forgive my thoughts now.
Steer it, ‘cause I forget the dots now.
Was it all any more faded after all? I don’t know...
Are you sure, did you call, did we ever really talk? I don’t know, I don’t...
Dear, I wouldn’t bet your heart down.
Clear, but I couldn’t get my head around.
I’ve been awake in every state line,
dyin’ to make it last us a lifetime,
tryin’ to shake that it’s all on an incline,
find me a way, I’ll be yours in a landslide!

Sleepless

Given all the silence, I could see the sky was taking its place.
If we’re giving it all a title, I’ll concede I might have made a mistake.
I feel love, throwing it all away,
I’m sleepless.
Seven years of verses, I guess that I deserve it,
I made a mistake!
So keep it on the surface,
and tell me there was worth in all the ways that it would break.
I feel love, throwing it all away,
I’m sleepless knowing you’re all the same...
how’d only I feel it?
It’s taken all the ivy from your throat,
does it feel anymore like home?
I made the walk from Albany to Rome,
but it feels there’s nowhere more to go.
I feel love, throwing it all away,
I’m sleepless, and tell me you’re all the same?
How’d only I feel it?

Repeat Until Death

Low, a part of me now.
A palm to my mouth.
I said it, almost.
Snow, brother I’ll bet it all gold.
Shudder with blood in my nose.
I had it, almost.
Don’t go, you’re half of me now,
but I’m hardly stood proud,
I said it, almost.
Oh, I’ve been low, but dammit I bet it don’t show,
it was heaven a moment ago,
I had it, almost.
we had it, almost.
I can’t seem to let myself leave you,
but I can’t breathe anymore.
I can’t seem to not need to need you,
and I can’t breathe anymore.

Oh, Round Lake,
I’ve been wishing that I stayed,
to carve my name in Louisiana State.
One long day, all my love will make you shake.
I found my place in a twisted rib cage.
Oh, Round Lake,
for five years I’ve felt your break.
With all my shame, I will watch you wash away.
Oh, Round Lake, I’ve been wishing you would take your place in every scene.
Oh, Round Lake, I need...
Oh, Round Lake, serene.
