good morning, my dear
01:33
|

|
dazed and watching cars roll up and down the driveway
momentarily relieved of all the weight of being
a few moments where it lurks beneath the surface
swallow me when i walk out to meet my purpose
spent some time without my head early this morning
felt much better after all i was unfurling
thought about what it 'd be like to live without lucidity
alarm wakes me up; unfriendly

you said you loved me
and my mind wandered off
I know that you're changing
it's in the way you talk
and I know
you're not real
your heart escaped
and left me here
I dreamt of an angel
that had your face and warmth
she'd offered protection
and held me in her arms
I knew then
I'd love her all my life
awoken
uncaring morning light
you, you
made a promise you won't break
you know I'd do anything
to relieve you of your weight
but oh, I can't
reach you now
oh, I've been
disavowed
you saw, you saw
the weakness of my form
and I felt, the emptiness
of the life by which you'd sworn
but you said
you loved me anyway
and how could I
forget and meet the day?

the tide arose
and washed all of my clothes
out to sea
somewhere you still beckon me
wade into
the endless darkened blue
a tranquil home
where my bones could rest with you
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
wash over me
water water water water
living body
ocean ocean ocean ocean
moves around me
body body body body
creature shifting
swimming swimming swimming swimming
swimming swimming swimming swimming

her beautiful words
say that I'm worth something
her beautiful heart
deserves more love
she doesn't have to feel so bad
or give me so much as she has
I wish I could tell her
whatever she needs to feel better
but I can do nothing but forgive her
o-o-o-oh

when you came down from above
you said that they hunted you like an animal
oh it's a shame
I would love if you felt you could stay
but you're bleeding
your freedom was fleeting
and I'm sitting here
writing songs that I hope you will never hear
and it's not a lie
it's not a lie
it seemed
like you saw right through me
oh it was you I adored
I'd have loved you no matter the form
but your leaving
was relieving
and now I don't know
take my heart in your strangling choke hold
I walked
last night
with you
but I
woke up
alone

I know I said
no one deserves to do this
but this lack of you
makes me feel so desperate
so tonight
I think maybe I'd like
if my arm was grown over with scar tissue
just like how you scared me
with a patch on your leg that was coarse and white
think of nothing
but my hatred of this body
secretly
so I wonder what options there may be left to me
bleed
make myself bleed until nothing remains of me
bleed
make myself bleed until nothing remains of me

when he approached me with flowery language and praise that I couldn't think true,
I was enraptured by his sense of kindness and compliments I wasn't accustomed to
I was a goner when I said that I loved him because then I think that he knew,
that it's far too easy to fully convince me and make me believe the untrue
cuz he made me feel like the truest of women, and then that was all it would take,
cuz then I was lonely and starved for affection and I didn't care that it was fake
so when we meet he'll be wearing the clothing he took from his mother for free,
and I'll be in nothing just like how he wanted, and he swears it won't matter that I'm only thirteen

I see you
in children's toys
your distinct
resounding joy
I won't confront
your hollow halls
the walls just like
the sky, it falls
I understand now
what you meant
when you described how
empty you'd been
I would not help you
away from this
you're spiraling in
to your abyss
I used to worry
you'd hurt yourself
the way that I thought
I would without your help
and I'll tell you one more
secret truth
when I'm alone I
always still do
and now you've departed
but your words have not
I still remember
what you had wrought
just one simple
phrase I thought
a lot about it
