Sing me to sleep

Pretend that you are listening

Because talk is cheap

When you know you’re only whispering

 

Stick out your chest

Let me know what you’re planning

You always know best

The lies become quite enchanting

 

Dancing in colour
Right before my very eyes
I cannot sleep
Please do not ask me why

 

Boy come near me

I’ll set a trap off in your heart

Honesty is key

Without it we easily break apart

 

 

Please sing right now

Show me you are my best bet

I’m not sure how

But baby please try not to fret

 

Craving your veins
Cuddle me until I sleep
Too much pain
I cannot dream tonight

 

 

 

star ceilings (a note)

—

When I was a kid my favourite place to stay the night was my grandmas house in Edgewood. The bedroom I stayed in was magical. My grandma had arranged plastic glow in the dark stars on the ceiling in the image of the galaxy. I don’t remember if it was very accurate, but I remember wishing on a different star every night. Even when I was younger I had a hard time sleeping. At my grandmas house I would just count the stars until I fell sleep. Now I just count the things I am thankful for and the people I love.

without a mission

You are what I’m missing

Without a mission

All of this has been killing

Without a mission

I don’t want to keep playing

Without a mission

Because babe I  am failing

Without a mission

silence

your weapon of choice

you don’t use your voice

what can words do for you?

was anything you said, true?

you always listened with your heart

but in the end its what drifted us apart

 

treble clef endings

 

i have to ask, could you feel it too?

our heart beats colliding with the roof

 

don’t act like i’m nothing new

as a teen you dreamt of this too

 

still thinking about your chest

i honestly try to forget the rest

 

you kissed me in your car that night

we knew we did something not right

 

fuck it felt so perfect to me though

you knew it too after our kiss, i know

 

here i am still writing about our time

also wondering why you are not mine

gem stone hearts

 

Sticking to your cheek

Stick to my side

I adore you so much

To you I can’t lie

 

I want to feel protection

Hold me so close

Believe me when I say

I care for you the most

 

Grasp my hips meaner

Show me in strength, you care

Sometimes I feel less loved

I’m not sure you’re aware

 

You are so strong

I know you don’t see it

But you try so hard

We know you won’t quit

they don’t know you like i do

 

i saw the fear in your eyes

i watched her tell her lies

you said you could handle it

(later you asked me to drive home)

 

you taught me stick

i already forget

but your hand grasp around the wheel

(well that i always keep in mind)

 

i know if someone

spoke my name to you

you’d freeze up and say

‘i’m sorry, who?’

 

i see right through you

(i always have)
