Tired

you need to feel the wind on your lips
and i can't breathe in this town between oceans
you demand explanations for every affection
and run at the first sign of kindness
biting my tongue so it won’t burn
i need a life that isn't built to hurt
you can't sleep in this bed between bodies
i just want someone who wants nothing from me
someone who knows me and doesn't want to leave
and i want to talk all day
and you just dissociate
i'm tired of sleeping alone tired of you being cold
tired of living our whole lives through a phone
i never see you anymore
tired of waiting at home tired of being a hole
tired of living my whole life being stoned
i never feel anything anymore
but you say it's all too much
and i've got a sister's touch
that we mean different things when we say love
i'm tired of sleeping alone tired of you being cold
tired of living our whole lives through a phone
i never see you anymore
tired of waiting at home tired of being a hole
tired of living my whole life being stoned
i don't feel anything anymore
i don't feel anything anymore

woke up wanting to die again
getting high again just to float through the day
i'm home again crashing in this town again where i can
ignore my friends and you can't dictate how i take my space
another night of wires getting worn
sending paragraphs of text back and forth
i'm always looking for an exit before we begin
baby i can't be your soft landing
woke up in the bath again
freezing and sinking again swearing this time will be the last
so i'm eating again practicing dbt again staring down
the sun again and trying to steal some kind of a future back
another night drinking through the cold
your last words echoing through my skull
i'm worried i'll never feel at home in my skin
baby i can't be your soft landing
i'm always looking for an exit before we begin
baby i can't be your soft landing
another night plugged into my machines
listening to blonde on repeat
tell me we're ok tell me i'm ok i'm ok
tell me that nothing worth saving ever stays broken anyway
i'm not a future you can put your faith in
baby i can't be your soft landing
i'm always looking for an exit before we begin
baby i can't be your soft landing

Until Then

dead flowers on the dashboard
passing favorite songs back and forth
burning down the decade that got me here
i'm already living longer than i ever thought i could
so i'll try to do some good
and make meaning that might matter
but until then you could stay with me
until then would you stay with me?
we cut shapes in the sky to make sense of our lives
would you still love me if i fixed my body
drowning in sad songs come up for air with the sun
make peace with who i've become
and maybe figure out how to be happy
but until then you could stay with me
until then would you stay with me?
until then you could stay with me
until then would you stay with me?
i'll settle in and learn to love the cold
and get better at being alone
until then you could stay with me
until then would you stay with me?
the faint familiar trace of your touch
i need something new in my blood
until then you could stay with me
until then would you stay with me?
until then you could stay with me
until then would you stay with me?
until then would you stay with me?

just a fictional object of role-model dreams
hiding my eyes from that self-made marquee
always caught in the spin of my own inertia
i am fully aware of each of my flaws
i'll put my back in to it learn to love the burden
have only good days from now on
but please don't ask me to save you
i can barely keep up with myself
if you give me your crown i'll only let you down
so trust me kid, it's just as well
I’m just glad to see you on your way
you've been staging an exit since before we met
running from the weather every chance you'd get
i can't blame you for not sticking around
you're the only good thing to ever come from this town
you taught me to believe in endings
and only good news from now on
but making plans makes me anxious
the dread of someone else relying on me
so i've filled up my blood with that reckless self love
under a steady rain with nowhere to be
I’m just glad to see you on your way
connected computers, eyes on the future, you were my friend
saying we'll be close when we're old and each time before you go
made me promise i won't die before we talk again
so let the weeds grow baby
until the wildflowers are ten-feet tall
i'm glad you're finally free but it's hard to leave
when you were never really here at all
I’m just glad I got to see you on your way
I’m just glad to see you on your way
