While you slept…
I watched you breathe
Watched what I thought was your silent goodbye
While you slept…
I broke down
Had my face wet with defeat…and watched you sleep
This is more than I can take
More than I’ll show you
But I thought you had felt my heart…
Broken and fragile
Open and pounding
Maybe I was wrong… and you were just asleep
But your words were so clear in that slumber…
And I wanted to believe your eyes were with me
This is more than I can take…
And you’re still asleep

Clear solitude
Swallowing white rocks of no pain
Into an abusive doorway
Out of this bloody stomach
I thought the sand gave way
But a badge brought me back
21 hours and a women still awake
Waiting for my arrival
For my storey
A broken mother still asleep
The ripping hands inside me
I fight to keep
How can I break this news
When I have his marks on my chest
When I don’t want to lose
Clear solitude
Pumped out of me
Clear solitude
Trying to make me see

She says it’s all lower and I can’t seem to hold her
Just another blurry moment in her glass world
It’s slipping away, all the control that seemed to be my cure
Foot steps to the kitchen with a spilled trail of self abuse
His abuse
If she wants it’ll be her last taste
Her abuse
Foggy screen and fingers burning
I can still hear her sweat hitting my chest
What I thought was my focus
Wanted to be her final test
If I crawl into this comfort once more
If I put on that robe and clean the sides
I’d wish for her to be awake
If she finds that story she lost…
He’d still make it all in his mind

I should know by now that Brick has some perfected error when it comes to Jenny. But somehow her machine still only strikes a wrong key.
I should know by now that Jenny still cries about my life. I should know how it feels, again, to wait for you. But… Somehow I got up and left.
I should know by now that I still love you. I should know how to see you. But somehow my phone is still the only treasure I get in my hunt for you.

Today I sat alone with words I fought to forget
Those solid nights so guarded by your past
Forever objective so not to regret
Tell me by your hand
I don’t need all
That I lost you
One thing I know… you never think
And it’s too late to hold on
Alone with your words
Let me tell you about a gentleman I once knew, most discreet
Most worthy of all the love
I’ll pled for you once more
I cut you out of shaped dreams only to see
A young heart eager to breathe
I’ve cut you just right
Hooks in arms I will ease your pain

i want to turn you inside out and pour you down my throat
i want what is inside of you inside of me to push it down push it out wrap it around and around me and pull it tight
i want to break you open and see what's inside i want all of it
i want to spill you out on the floor and get in you on my knees i want you wet and messy and on me I want to tear at your magic like a beast i want you in my hair and slick on my skin i want you in my eyes and in my mouth
i want wild fistfuls of you pressed against my cheeks and i want to look in the mirror as you drip down my neck
i want to smell you and i want it to burn like like too much whiskey i want your rhythm in me slow and mean like an unfinished song i want you i want you iwantyou i'm fucking burning
i want you to turn me to gold because there is nothing else left
