We were born with such bad lungs It’s a hassle to speak sometimes Am I just killing off my insides? I’m bracing for one to collapse Unhealthy habits are kept to a minimum On my way to come collect your from your practicum It gets me out of the house Some fresh air inside wilted lungs I am the canines on the corners of my four front teeth I’m biting hard, they grew apart and refused to meet I’m twisting, fidgeting on the surface of my velcro seat I see the opening, its vacancy but I’ve lost the keys credits

Could you recall Watching the storms roll in From the apartment window Met you in early spring Nose still flushed from A brand new piercing We ran in our bare feet Stepping on grass and conjuring dreams Oh, how could you have the nerve? To put my name on your lips To define what you deserve And do you remember when You would ask me so soft So sure that no one heard: “Will there be fireworks at this funeral?” A Joke that only we would would know When will we realize That life’s better improvised? You claim that it’s catharsis Just absent feelings tied to hollow words You claim that it’s catharsis Should have known those string never really worked Maybe I’ll bite my wrists And sink my canines through my skin Performing a ritual And bring you back to life Maybe I’ll bite my wrists And sink my canines through my skin Interrupting the rest And putting a curse on my life

Do you wanna stay in tonight? I'm thinking I might be overthinking this somehow Or I could go out, give you some space Hell, maybe I need it too right now, but if I'm being honest I wanna be bored I wanna be figured out I wanna be yours making out on your couch Might not return your call today Don't wanna show my hand, or seem to eager to share your embrace But what you don't know can always hurt you And I want you to know that I wanna be bored I wanna be figured out I wanna be yours making out on your couch I'm not looking for complacence Just tired of feeling vacant from keeping up this distance I think I hate it, and I just need to steel my stomach to let something real come through when I come home to you.

Feet stuck on the ceiling cant get back to solid ground no matter what I try head stuck in the clouds never thought about the hurt focused on your words think of me, am I your only curse? Everyday My mind wanders on the past and what it meant to feel alright take my head turn my whole world inside out inside out can I go back in time I just haven't felt the same since the come down everything has changed need your pick me up take me back to better days when I made you smile and mind wasn't cast away Look hard and you'll find me lost in my own thoughts but don't try to save me you'll only cause more harm don't try to save me don't try to save me
