Empty Fortune Cookie

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.

Something I Said
02:02

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?

Smoke Signals
01:42
|

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

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

Chasing Me Down
03:43
|
|||
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.

Toothbrush

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
