Young Blood

Wait for it to come
as thousands of seconds fly by
his eyes white with age
This rusted old wheel
Speaks to me of centuries of love and loss
of young blood too hot to lay still
"You're not old yet"
he yells as my veins spew dirt
"you've got time left"
he speaks as my feet grow roots
"You walk an old path"
he whispers,
all alone on the grass
Don't be afraid
when we grow
we find who we are
We peel away all of our dead skin
see the life beneath it all

Choke

It's ridiculous
how many of my fears
still make me
choke
and I don't know
just how high these trees have grown
seems it's all I have known
No, I won't stay here
not this time
If I made this
why can't I let it grow?
maybe it's already dead
and I can't tell how far it goes
all these trees, they surround me
I'm gonna burn it down tonight
with the friction inside of me
Nobody but me can do this for me

Another Hungry Ghost

how many more stones will I throw into this well?
and how much longer until I realize I'm not well?
with Holes in my hands, this water spills right through
dissolve my castles made of sand, show me how small I really am
another hungry ghost,
I am the hungry Ghost,
I am the addict
here for you, "I'm not here for you"
well I can slam the door too,
and I can say goodbye for good too
just leave me alone like you found me
Living isn't worth
dying so goddamn much much
I am the Hungry Ghost,
I am the Addict,
it's not enough
It's not enough
I'm not enough
I felt alive for the first time in months today
and I remembered you back in June
we made love in the Guest room
in between gasps you whispered that it could never be better than this
but that was a lie
just like the hurt that spread in our chest and our stomachs
that took root inside us, between us
just like the slow poison you give yourself every day
just like the thousand deaths I've survived since that day
this sand will slip through our hands
and it will not torture my feet

Things we've left
05:14

Alone in your car
but you're here too
this is so fucked
I wish you knew
and I said
I'd shoulder this for you
and she said
I dont ask too much of you
I'm figuring out
how this is not an exit
from these walls that I've painted, all alone in the dark
oh how my words will always miss their mark
But this weight
you have to take it back
it can no longer stay
where it does in my head
it can no longer sleep
at the foot of my bed
It has been too long
since I woke up without screaming your name
two whole years,
and now where the fuck are you?
I hope that I find
what it is that I missed
I hope I don't miss
all these things that I've left
