1.
Your words cut through the air and disrupt the silence of brown tangled hair and paper plane pilots, so I wrote you a note on the back of your eyelids of stereotypes that would lead you to violence and sin. Now you're tangled up in my memory matrix (of chain smoke, tattoos, a parking lot silence, a glossy eyed touch, hints of the tragic, and poems read aloud that you made so emphatic again). And you know that I won't just let it go. There's rain on your window, but nobody's home.
2.
Cherries of cigarette snipers take aim from the balcony While state-run textbooks are teaching kids apathy But it always ends up the same There was something in the night that I cut my hair off And there's something in her eyes in the way she stares back But it always ends up the same Was it something I said when we were sitting in your room glued to the TV that night? Was it something I said that had you sneaking out the window in that soft summer dress?
3.
You locked yourself up in your room It's an infinite sadness and lonely perfume But the pheromones are making my head spin You've got no buzz at all I need more time, I need to stall You're not inhaling my smoke signals But the pheromones are making my head spin You've got no buzz at all

Untied Laces 02:46
It's never easy when you're stuck in cycles And you're never sleeping Never dreaming or believing and you're always overthinking What you're doing what you're saying and how everyone's being I don't think in sentences, I think in paragraphs and pages I'm setting reminders while tripping over all the untied laces I try to simplify the structures It's hard to imagine when your'e always clouded with the lessons you're forgetting and you're always overstepping You're surrounded and confounded and your thoughts get impounded I lost my place keeping pace Now I'm starting over again
5.
I was fake sleeping on the couch when you were leaving I was listening to you at the door when you came home But you, you never would let me go You've spent so long chasing me down And I know I was thinking this would mean nothing to either of us But oh, you don't know what I heard.
6.
Toothbrush 03:33
Take what you like, it's all free Naked half-truths are sleeping with me Cold sheets, midnight, recurring dreams Wake to daylight and icy streets We stay up late Ignore our phones Kiss in the snow Get drunk at home/alone I whispered in your ear at night You never heard, you slept so tight Threw out your toothbrush this morning I stared blankly, it's sobering I spend afternoons in bed Your ghost leans in my ear it says "Don't fall asleep without me." Don't fall asleep without me
