Safe and Sound

Wake up, everything hurts
Pray for something worse
Wait up, you’re moving too fast
These memories are chasing after me
So put your blindfolds on
I promise this won’t take long
Don’t try to cut me down
I’m feeling safe and sound
Wake up, open my eyes
Pray for a different life
Wait up, I’m falling behind
This disease is standing over me
Don’t ask me the way I’ve been
I’ve felt the same since you left me here
You were the best that I could do
I just wasn’t good enough for you
So put your blindfolds on
‘Cause I’m already gone
I hope you feel nothing now
I’m feeling safe and sound

Cold Hands

Young girl waiting
Body aching
Young man broken
Cold hands open
Save your breath
Wrap your fingers around my neck
Pull me closer
Save your breath
Wrap your fingers around my neck
Kill me faster
Feel my heartbeat
Skin and silk sheets
Nails skin deep
Scars will haunt me
Save your breath
Help me feel like there’s something left
Pull me closer
Save your breath
Turn the lights out and don’t hold back
Kill me faster
Two cold hands

Books On Tape

With memories of throwing rocks
From floorboards of floating docks
Time stops
I’m trying not to cry
As I sit by an open fire
Tongue tied
So take some time
To make it feel alright
These books on tape will ruin my mind
Let’s talk about wasting time
I’ve done it my whole life
These books on tape will ruin my
It ties me up in knots
To imagine you getting lost
In his arms
I’m re-arranging the thoughts in my head
I swore that by now I’d already be dead
But not yet
So take some time
To make it feel alright
These books on tape will ruin my mind
This talk of my
Frustration with wasting time
These books on tape will ruin my

Diastole

Pull out all your loose teeth and crawl back to bed
Sweaty palms and fire alarms, there’s no way out
A pretty face is just what it takes to say “I don’t need this”
Painted lips asking for a kiss
I’ve been way too hard on you
But I don’t mind when you tell me how you feel
About my decisions and my skin
But you’ve been absent far too long
So don’t try to be a part of this
I have to remind myself to breathe, as with a sinking feeling in the pit of my chest, I remember that I am an accidental mess of sinew and bone, recapitulating contempt and presenting the possibility that our insecurities and weaknesses should be preserved like a shriveled corpse in formaldehyde. And oh how fortunate it is that your greedy lips have pried the last few ounces of self-pity from my dead fingers, so that until my soul’s last sentient moment, I can have the distinct privilege of feeling absolutely nothing.
I’m a disappointment
My whole life’s been worthless

Systole

So can we survive the fire tonight
I’ll beg you to let me in
There’s something bleak beneath me
I swear to tell nothing but the truth from now on
Can you believe me?
A list of words you’ve never heard
An alphabet of numbers and uncommon verbs
She says “maybe this is it,
I’m hiding in my skin
And I can’t take your word”
This is a war
