D r i f t w o o d -- 21 April 2017

It’s like you don’t know what to say to me anymore
So all you say is “I love you”
And hope that’s enough to satisfy
But who ever told you love wasn’t supposed to hurt?
Because love has always been messy and hard and imperfect
And growing up shouldn’t mean growing cold
So maybe start trying to love me
Instead of just saying you do

Looking for me between someone else's silk sheets
The way you break your own heart is so debilitating
Because half of the time you don't even know what you're breaking
And even God asks himself why
And shakes his head in disbelief

Graveyard Shift -- 23 February 2017

Do not plant your hopes in me
And leave them to die
My body will not be your graveyard

Deep Sea Diving -- 10 February 2017

You remind me of the deep sea
I feel vulnerable in your open waters
Your darkness hides parts of you that I can’t see
And the parts that I can see
Freak me the fuck out
And make me want you 80 million miles away from me

Tempo -- 10 February 2017

You taught me
How to dance
To the beat of my heart

Microexpressions -- 7 February 2021

Maybe someday I'll be able to tell a story That doesn't have anything to do with me Or you But how can I ignore Your mouth full of e...
