didn't mean to pray to shadows
only wanted to hide the light
but when i open up my eyes i can't feel anything
past a certain point of bright
i lie in bed 'til my feet are numb
and shadows pass me by
it's no one i'm familiar with pieces of my mind
splattered on the window
painted with a name i never can make out but it doesn't really matter
everyone's turned out to be the same
sheets over my head--
don't pull them down for me
make sure to make it so that I can feel a breeze
all i ever wanted was some sun/son
all i've ever needed is this person i've finally run across the map
and still am feeling in this way
i'm so glad it didn't have to happen that way
sheets over my head--
don't pull them down for me
make sure to make it so that I can feel a breeze

oh mikey baby,
you're so sweet to me
never say anything too mean
and if you do
i'll correct you
i know that you'll apologize
cause you're the sweetest person in my life
people come
people go
frolic through my head
you're the one
that's stuck in the mud
of my emotions and of my love
send me to a place above
people round here
make me sad, they get me down
you let me know that i'm enough
and if you can't, well,
i am still satisfied
just knowing that you're in my life
people come
people go
frolic through my head
you're the one
that's stuck in the mud
of my emotions and of my love
send me to a place above

forget me not and i won't lay you down
tell me you need this and i won't try running around
the only way i'll ever be ashamed
is if you can tell me i'm not running my own way
i want to run to a flickering light
but flickering lights are prone to disappear
i haven't cried since my spirit died
but in the light
i see a shining face
a visage dripping with deception outrage
in the dark
i see your shining eyes
telling me i--
tell me not to be surprised
send me in a dizzy
spin my head round
so i can't see i can't feel i can't hear what's been going around
cause i'm hearing new things
listening better now
my eyes don't feel what they did
and the only way i'll be ashamed
is if you can give me the reason i am bent for hell
i didn't cry when my spirit died
but so many things
made me want to cry today
and someone feels guilty for something i made
didn't mean to be so sad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To Tongues

never thought i'd fly again
never thought i could move quickly
achin' never meant what i thought it did
until it was handed back to me again
never thought i'd be shy again
but something took my voice
two tongues sneak out of the same brain
to me they'll never be quite the same
move a little quieter
move a little quickly
move so that no one can see
move out of me and i won't need your company
it gets real hard to imagine
what i'd do without that voice
seems to come to me in the night
a childhood dream that was snatched from me
taken from my hands
pulled out from under my feet
never given back to me
i've got jars on jars filled with thoughts
fill shelves to the top of my head

two parts
to be reconciled not to be mixed together
without permission
without some kind of signal that says to start
two pieces
that cannot be mixed
before we know what they will produce
before we have some sort of idea
two minds
that will not come together
without wanting to be separated
without some kind of signal of being repurposed
one part
that will not hold the other
without breaking
without seeming tethered down
but it's a fine fine line when they're brought together
they don't know what's going on
it's a fine fine sight when they come together
nicely

well i know i'm not
tall and elegant
know i'm bout 5'3
but look down on me
you might see
something but my hair and me
i'm condensed
not ephemeral
i'm charcoal
you're a spark in a fire
may be tight wound
but i sure do sound
like i know what i'm talking bout
put your filter on me
and i'll look the same
pass it on for blame
but look down on me
you might see
something but my shoes and me
pursed lips
wide hips
tell your story again
but it's too late
can't make it out
i'm too short to hear
just one story
no elevator
no more steps to climb
but look down on me
you might see
something but my lips and me
i'm condensed
not ephemeral
i'm charcoal
you're a spark in a fire
may be tight wound
but i sure do sound
like i know what i'm talking about

all the arrows pointed at you
i can be a shield
only for a little while
second chances only mend opportunities for regret
i'm done growing
you're still a child
run don't run
stray from these sounds
we put together for the first time
but these tangles won't make us decide
what to bring to the table
don't try to talk loud enough
a mirror between all of us
i'll be on your side
only for a little while
the second time i gave you mine
you shoved it on for smiles
i knocked my teeth out
you're still growing
run don't run
stray from these sounds
we put together for comparison
but these tangles won't make us decide
what to bring to the table
don't try to talk loud enough
so, i've been told many time
the sound you made only came in my ear
so, i hold it open for you now
