I think I love too hard,
I think you're too bitter.
I think I'm too bitter,
I think I love too hard.
And I think they all mix inside of me,
And you must feel them too.
I see you,
Windows of opportunity
Swinging up on doorframes,
Like photographs-
Rectangles of you.
Cracking smiles like bottle tops,
Leaking lighter fluid out my teeth
And I watch your face melt,
Freckles and blushes all blending
Until you're no longer divided,
And I learn from that.
I learn from you.
The weight of a curl,
Lift my diamond crusted commitment
And I feel the touch short fuse
With doubt
As it sparks it's way down.
I face a thousand people a day,
Never looking twice-
Fuck em.
Inside?
I listen to a different thousand,
But they're all pushing each other
And fighting for my attention,
Fighting to be me, though.
They're jealous of the way I see,
The way that voice is still sanded wood
And smooth edges,
These lines run through my head
Because I lost control
And your stare is so dangerous
But only when you know what to see,
And I've taken in all I need to,
To remember the taste of fire.
Said I've got problems deciding today,
Hesitant to move,
But change is everpresent.
Cut a lot of shit out,
Find myself licking blades,
And slicing trust.
Purple tea tipping,
Missing lean sipping,
Higher than the ceiling,
Lower than the floor-
My body is a tee shirt
And I'm all hung up and heavy
Over you.
Drawn to the natural now,
Your eyes glow in black light
And I pull you aside.
It's flashing as I'm passing
The doorway,
Where you're not looking
But I find your face like magnets.
Melting melting melting
We're crayons.
We're up against rock now,
In the sky,
Drowning in deep,
In space spinning spinning spinning-
You take me across the world,
And I follow.
Hold a stare,
It's all I'm banking off of.
