Keep me up til morning
stitch me in your scenes
Let me think of you
just please stay out
of my dreams
Stay awake
afraid
Whats the picture like today?
afraid
You're out of time
and its morning
You cant sleep
the sun is in your eyes
These hands aren't mine
they're bleeding
I'm in your head
and nothing in your eyes
Take away
from me
Lie about the things you see
Silent
sleeping
soon you will be leaving
bleeding
I still bleed

I see you every day
when I take the ride
I cant see the future
so I wont be there on time
Its an excuse but its a good one
you should have known that I would lie
Ill be at the station soon
give me time to say goodbye
Please forgive me for what I cant remember
but I don't deserve that much
What a figure to be eclipsed in pictures
Its such a drag to be close enough to hear you
when I cant see you--not enough
Its more than rain when the river gets this high
tell me does it freeze here?
I don't think I should hold your hand tonight
but I shiver more in your breeze than when I'm in New England
Please forgive me for what I cant remember
though I dont deserve that much
I only know you in memories and pictures
instead I fill my cup when I'm close enough to speak to you
tell me are we close yet? Not enough
Ill only hate you when its okay
when you run out of kind things to say
Ill just forget them anyway
Ill only hate you when its okay
in spite of days of roses and yesterdays
Ill just forget you anyway
I cant hear you
but I don't deserve that much
I don't think i should hold your hand
Its not enough
Does it freeze here
ll only hate you when its okay
I hate you, but its okay

Backstroke

Blowing smoke
in your backyard
Smile on my face
I've been swimming
backstroke
Tried to call but I forgot
Can we face time?
Can we make time?
You know I'm not one to waste mine
waste mine
But you'll be fine
Still I wish i tried
maybe just this one time
I couldve tried
just this one time
I'm fine
if you're quiet
I'll keep us in the lines
If we crash
you'll be fine
Still got gas to light myself
Stay in all night
wake up the next day somewhere
didnt think I'd find
but its alright
think ill stay inside tonight
I wont miss you, I wont mind
still I wish I tried
Maybe just this one time
I wish I lied
just this one time

It starts off with a chill that runs down your spine
and I cant seem to find
a single cure
for this inside my mind
but i know that I tried
How many more days can i wait?
You only give me pain in the same place
I know you see the pain in my face
I know you'd feel the same in the same place
Sometimes I sink sometimes I swim
sometimes I think too much
but that's just the place I'm in
And I see the back of your head
when I begin my day
Some heads they look just like you
but their faces aren't the same
Why's everybody acting funny?
Why's everybody look so strange?
Sometimes i sink sometimes I swim
sometimes I think too much
but my time is running thin
She said I see through you
I said I wish I could see myself like you do
I said I should quit
I should quit thinking of life like this
It starts off
and I wont let it get to me not this time
Sometimes I sink sometimes I swim
sometimes I think too much
but that's just the place I'm in

Even love brings pain
and my hate brings pleasure
At least were speaking again
speaking about the weather
Still I sit in bed
Still I scratch my eyes
Feels good to rest my head
but not tonight
I cant tonight
Tell me what you're doing
I hope you're doing fine
It's getting warmer
but I'm not there
You've got so much to say
but I don't care
And now I lost my place
now I'm way too far
I'm on my way but I don't know where you are
Give me some space
Give me some time
It's getting warmer
but I'm not there
You've got so much to say
but I don't care
You're gone
Its just me here from now on
Even love brings pain
and my hate brings pleasure
Hope we speak again
I can wait forever
Your love brings pain
bitter wind and pouring rain
I'll fill my cup until tomorrow
Our time is short our words are hollow
You're gone
Its just me here from now on

Quick turn back, I don't think I can let you go
Please calm down listen to me I want whats best
All I needed was a push
I wont say no
Its been years since we spoke
Just let me know
Ill be there tomorrow
Time to go
All I needed was a push
Ill drive
in circles til I fall asleep
I would listen,
try to keep my patience
and I try to see you less than once a week but now you're in my sleep
The more I stay awake the more I brake
the lights don't change ill be there late

Crystal Rose

Don't be afraid to chase the rose,
Even when you shake and you tremble by the way she resembles the beauty of a thorn.
I've numbed myself with thoughts of you,
It kills me i don't know how to keep you close.
Isolation trims my brain,
Isolation thins the blood in my veins,
Hurt makes haste from my heart to my head,
When I bleed, I bleed lakes for you.
What I mean is i suffer with no way to you,
What I mean's my knees buckle for the weight you leave in my chest,
I dream to caress the face of my queen
What I mean's I'm depressed
Some crystals weren't meant to be kept,
Just meant to be stones.
Some were supposed to be secrets,
So leave them alone. Leave them alone
And I, know what its like be alone
Frightened of letting go of the droning silence,
The frozen, dry hands of my home.
And I, know what its like to feel the glow,
The warming essence, the healing presence
The tone of voice you use to speak to me.
And learn how to see without taking,
And take without holding.
Take without holding.

And now I’m losing focus
And she sees me looking off
And we’re rotting here like fruit
And your skin is looking soft
I’ll see you in the morning
Nah you’ll be in my dreams
Your love for me is foreign
It’s as cold as it seems
And your sighs don’t stack up even
So I fill my head with poems
And you shred me in the voicemail
Then you wait there by the phone and I call you back
But you leave me on the tone
I’ll see you in the morning
Nah you’ll be in my dreams
It’s winter in California
It’s as cold as it seems
And it’s raining again
But I miss the snow
I call you my friend but I just don’t know

I'll swim deeper
if it means I can keep her close
I would leave
but who would drive you home?
I can see
I can see behind the screen
I can sleep
but I don't even dream
Yeah I hear you
but I don't know what you mean
I've forgotten
what you mean to me
I could hate you
but you wont know what I mean
I remember all your thorns
you were there in all my scenes
and I don't mind
I'll be home soon if you let me
you don't need me anymore
just forget me
Its not the same
Its not what it seems
Forget my name
Ill see you in my dreams
I don't mind
Keep me up til morning
stitch me in your scenes
Let me think of you
its colder than it seems
Keep me up til morning
Keep me in your scenes
let me think of you
I could hate you
but I don't know what that means
Now I see you
only in my dreams
