Protection Spells

You said "I'm sorry" as you went to leave
And I lit a match to throw down at your feet
And screamed "Don't come back"
As you turned toward the door
And I ached as the flames grew up from the floor
And I'm tired of going out
And I'm tired of staying in bed
And I'm tired of your heart beating its way into my head
The old incantations I kept to myself
"I miss you" and "I love you" are weak protections spells
I held myself to the sound of my own breath
Settled down and slept in the crook of my own neck
And I looked out the window
And I wondered aloud
Will the sun ever come back? I'm so tired of the clouds
And I'm tired of going out
And I'm tired of staying in bed
And I'm tired of your heart beating its way into my head
The old incantations I kept to myself
"I miss you" and "I love you" are weak protections spells

He Never Shows

You are the shadow in the doorway
Gently bleeding on your pickguard
And I wanna be the band-aid
Wrapped around your finger
You said you wanted to steal me away
So I packed a bag but you never came
And I know that you don't owe me anything
I'm just sick of loving meaning waiting
And you are so hard to hold
He'll call you up but he never shows
Why do you act like you don't when you do?
Just because I used to like you back in high school?
You've got your checklist of shitty excuses
And I've got a habit of making boys like you my muses
And you are so hard to hold
He'll call you up but he never shows

You/Him (Maybe)

Happy happened while we were doing other things
I still feel your hand sliding up my knee
Softly softly
Makes me look at dead flowers and wanna cry
Because I didn't look hard enough
While they were still alive
You watered my heart like summer fruit
Nurtured me 'til I grew
until I was too ripe for you
and Fell into the arms of someone new
Rhythmically I erase your name
From the places that I see every day
The memories start to fade
The way you look at me changes
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
Maybe when you're not a thousand miles away
We can make out in your car on some music-less day
Maybe by then we'll be ready
We can pretend it's the first time
The day you knew you were synesthetic
Sensed the way I tugged on his jacket
I loved you more than that even then
I always loved you more than him
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
You were a big city trapped in a small town
With sacred places I learned and I loved well
He was a small town trapped in a big city
Couldn't cut himself to fit so he tried to cut me
He tried to cut me
He tried to cut me

Hate It Here
02:28

Teenage feelings got me down
Teenage feelings got me down
In the middle of a summer night
In the house where I learned how to die
Stupid questions that keep haunting me:
Am I ever gonna be happy?
Am I looking for another reason so be sad?
When something touches you, do you touch back?
Am I ever gonna be okay?
Am I allowed to like myself one day?
Will I keep building prisons
Making cages to keep myself in?
I am a pit I dug
I am a pit I dug
Better than I was but
Not quite good enough
I am a pit I dug
I am a pit I dug
Better than I was
But not quite good enough
Everything is crystal clear
Everything is crystal clear
Don't know where I'm supposed to go but
Wherever I go I know
I hate it here

Sunday Song

In seven years time, I will wake up and sigh
Every cell in my body has died
And I will make tea and build myself a fire
And examine my work with pride
And I will eat sweet yellow peaches
And lick my fingers clean
And I will burst like a flower from the earth knowing you
Have never touched me
And I will burn everything you ever saw me in
I will grow a new layer of skin
And I will fix my eyes on the ground
As I pass you on the way uptown
Watching your fingerprints as they fall from my face
I will look you in the eyes and feel nothing
I will look you in the eyes and feel nothing
