Your face is a mosaic
Made from the pieces you picked up
Beauty made from pain
And glued by moving on
My face is a mosaic
Made from the pieces I picked up
But everything’s a little hasty,
My smile’s a little off
And so I’ll pack three years of our life in moving boxes
To leave in my attic until the future me knocks
And whether I smile for the time that we spent
Or break down at the sight is a question for then
Sometimes I still hear you sing
Along hearing one of our songs
It never sounds the same
As when you sang with me
And so I’ll pack three years of our life in moving boxes
To leave in my attic until the future me knocks
And whether I smile for the time that we spent
Or break down at the sight is a question for then
And so I’ll pack three years of our life in moving boxes
To leave in my attic until the future me knocks
And whether I smile for the time that we spent
Or break down at the sight is a question for then

Say that you're tired
Of me
Help me to forget
The memory of how to breathe
I, I want to take it back
Say you were over me
I still hear your shaky breath
I won’t regret all the times
I still remember that dime that you spent on me
Oh honey you spent your worth
Painted on your marble stone
A beautifully placed crack
I wanna see you dragged all on your two color kickbacks
Oh no
Oh no!
I don't want you
I don't want you
I don't want you anymore
I don't want you
I don't want you
I don't want you
Fuck you I’m done!

See me here and I’m all out of tune
You want me back
Before I see the things that you do
How long?
How long 'til I figure it out?
Sit by and I’m watching your door you said
You wouldn't open it for anyone else
But how long 'til I figure it out?
Say you’ll never let me go
I’m writing this alone
Rub your thumb across my cheek when you’re home
I see your eyes
They grow, and I wanna know do you get tired
Of the way that I feel?

Fading as a Longing

What the hell happened to
Out of sight, out of mind
I never left the room
But your eyes are good as blind
Keep you at arms length
Don’t get too close
I want so badly the strength
To let you know
Before you go
I’m sick to death of fading as a longing
And I wish that were true
I’m bleeding through with no sense of belonging
Could use a hand or two
Yeah sure
I’ll see you when you come
Oh and I’m sure
You’ll be busy by the sound of
The way you hesitate when you say
you’ll be back some day
Okay
Seriously?
Keep you at arms length
Don’t get too close
I want so badly the strength
To let you know
Before you go
I’m sick to death of fading as a longing
And I wish that were true
I’m bleeding through with no sense of belonging
Could use a hand or two
I’m sick to death
And I wish that were true

I see you walk in
Surveying so familiar
Air of arrogance
Show your disinterest (he’s different!)
Flowers bend to you like daffodils you crush between your-
Or so you think
You make them complete
But I still see every detail of the scene
But you were a victim of my silent begging
No amount of pain could make me say I wanted that
Don’t assume just cause I smiled towards your face that I was just another play for you to get
Oh I can play pretend
I’m sure you’re used to that by now
Just know when I strap you down
When I pull my knife it’s not for something you might think up on your couch
Reflected in your register
You pick your prize before you know their name
You don’t know my name
I think of yours
I think of yours
Crawling down my spine
Rip it out so I don’t have to see your leering eyes
No amount of pain could make me say I wanted that
Don’t assume just cause I smiled towards your face that I was just another play for you to get
Oh I can play pretend
I’m sure you’re used to that by now
Just know when I strap you down
When I pull my knife it’s not for something you might think up on your couch
Forgetful
you peel me off as a husk
I’m left
With memories I don’t want
Shackles on my feet

Time spent
Laying passed out in your car
He listens to the silent sounds of his screaming thoughts when
Slight shift
Makes me brush against your-
He sheds his vans to feel the risk as he nudges the line
Eyes deep
Crashing waves into mine
Where is his grip? Façade starting to slip
(Slip) into my head
Where I wrench you out again
It was pretend
Until you burned into the back of my eyelids
Carry me to the edge
Drag me down to
stare into my depths
Follow my daring consciousness
To see where we collide
But please avoid the fall
Late nights
Holding cards to my chest
He shakes to see the familiar lines in her eyes
Carry me to the edge
Drag me down to
stare into my depths
Follow my daring consciousness
To see where we collide
She wants to erase the lines
Penciled in withered sighs
Brought to my end
Still holding on
It’s crashing down
Please, we’re getting too loud
Follow my daring consciousness
To see where we collide
