proud

i wouldnt have come home if i knew that it would be exactly the same as when i wanted to leave. you hurt me more than anyone has ever hurt me cause i didnt think youd hurt me
why'd you do that?
but i guess its just a series of heartbreaks till the heart learns how to shut off
i think thats what all of us want sometimes, a power outage of the brain
and i trust you to apologize, but thats not gonna make me trust you otherwise.
i will sit among the trees and put you out of my mind.
one time, i waited 52 weeks for my love to come back to me
it was not excruciating like writing these words is.
but i guess if you are doing well, i shouldnt interrupt you with my own hell
no, you dont need that in your life, just know
that im proud of you

dust in these sheets

maybe if i dont open my eyes, time will stop and i can have you forever.
i catch you on your inhale, and for a second, you are nothing but equal to me.
the dust that swam in this room for however many years before we came here
i opened my eyes to watch it swim, the sun was leaking in and i knew you felt it too.
we're both just dust in these sheets.
so i close my eyes again
maybe in a year i'll understand
maybe as the sun gets higher, we can change this temporary fabric
into a more permanent romance, but we wont, and you knew
i tasted it in your mouth.
so i close my eyes again, maybe in a year i'll understand
what we were so sad about

i want to buy you roses
01:24

if youre worried about not smelling the roses,
ill tie up a bunch for your barren bedroom
theyll probably end up in a glove compartment
either yours, or some other girls
but that is okay, yeah id rather you scatter them
at least then id know that i crossed your mind
in a way larger than a glance at a vase
that your mother gave you without looking you in the face.

melancholy queen
01:54

you said you wouldnt disappear, but i guess i must have dreamt that
ive been holding a ghost hand, i will for probably my whole life
and i thought i was being selfish with my temporary esteem
but i feel much better lonely than being your melancholy queen.
you know i would have bought you roses, but you couldnt put color in my cheeks
and i wouldnt wash my winestained pillowcase for several weeks,
i thought that i could sleep okay with no one in my bed
but it feels like feeling lonely must feel better when youre dead.
call me your melancholy queen.

autumn

do you recognize me now, i change as often as the wind
i know you didnt try to find me, but i kinda wish you did.
its the way you fold around me, you fit better than my skin
if you find out how to open me then i would let you in,
on the days i feel disgusting or the days youre too sad to cry
i will break the heart shaped mirror that has formed in your eyes
let the pieces cut me open, drink my blood until im dry
tie your shoes, zip up your jacket, and come lay with me outside.
