Azurite

Please promise me you’ll never know
How a distant star can so brightly glow
Please promise me you’ll never see
A sky so blue behind clouds so pink

Please promise me you’ll never hear

Words like ocean rain slowly drawing near

Please promise me you’ll never feel
A dream so warm that it’s almost real

These promises can be only lies

Since I wandered deep, your azure eyes
To keep these words or let them go?

Please promise me you’ll never know

Bummed Out

If it keeps me up at night
Then it must be alright
If it makes it hard to breathe
Then you'd think it'd be easy to see
If I feel it in my deep down in my bones
Why am I still all alone
If my bones are so hollow and light
Why the hell can't I flap my arms and fly

They say trust your gut
well my gut is an ignorant slut

They say it's coming when I least expect
But every close call turns into a wreck
They say you'll know when you feel it
But how can I know what's real if
I'm always feeling it, always healing it
Always laughing and crying and reeling in
Lines that I swear were fighting me once
Now are bare as the place where I used to feel love

They say trust your gut
well my gut is an ignorant slut

Glove Compartment

Oceans have passed since we've crossed paths
That's how it feels
I guess you don't need me unless you can see me
I'm not real
I'm not too proud to say out loud
Now that I'm healed
The ugly truth is when I needed you
Your lips were sealed

Well I don’t love you anymore
And I wonder did you even notice?

I wish you the best, and all the rest
I guess that's true
What good is the anger if you're just a stranger
Passing through?
Though I still wonder if a distant thunder
Is some kind of proof
I had to love you, the way you loved me
So now I do

And I don’t love you anymore
And I wonder did you even notice?
And if you noticed did you even care
At all?

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, etc.

I would think you a dream

If I was capable of dreaming something

So perfectly sweet

And so exquisitely soul crushing

I would think you to blame

But I welcomed the "curse" you placed on me

So perfectly sanguine

I'm so exquisitely weak

I'm on the other side

Of the picture I saved of you in the

Warm golden light

Of sunset I'll never see

You're the only one who makes me feel this

Like my heart can't wait to be torn in two

I say your name three times in the mirror

But you never come through

The View from the Whole Foods Parking Lot

Fire in the sky
Are you the clouds, the color, or the light?
Song of the ocean tides
Are you the surf, the sand, or the fight?
Violet abyss
Are you the clouds, the color, or the mist?
Deep unspoken wish
Are you the hope, the fear, or the kiss?

Heaven is this moment
Hell is letting it pass

What We Do In the Shadows

Is it wrong to lie to someone who’d rather hear it
To play the part of who they wish you’d be?
Is it wrong to run from someone who wants to chase you
Just for them to finally catch then release?
Is it wrong to hurt someone who wants to hurt you
Just to ease some pain that they’ll never let you see?
Is it wrong to kill someone who hopes you die
In the middle of the night while you dream?

Is it wrong to want
The greatest sin is to want
Love to come easy

One Hour Compilation

You tremble like a star
So pretty but so far
Beyond this broken world
You swirl and swirl and swirl

Long forgotten child
Forced to wander, brave and wild
Your purpose in this world
Is to swirl and swirl and swirl

My light is growing dim
Adrift when I used to swim
Goodbye my darkened world
I swirl and swirl and swirl
