If this is such a joke then where is your punch line, discrimination isn’t funny and your audience is getting harder to find. “We’re just having fun,” yeah I’ve heard that one before, it’s shock value humor when all you get is silence, you try for some...

Love is bleaching bed sheets, because we could never wait. Love is seeking bare feet, phone calls from other states. Love was loved ones, love was loved once. Well do you still forget to brush your teeth? Cause you’re too caught up in the morn...

I wouldn’t even call this hard work, yeah I’ve done some bleeding, but there’s always a warmth, for what it’s worth. Spent most of Florida hanging around, drowning in old friends and beautiful sounds, singing. Just like the trees friendships will bloom,...

The home we were searching for We’ll write our initials In rock formations On the mountains Just like the cities we drove through With so much Much more freedom Than here Than these East coast constraints Could ever compare to. But do you remember...

But I wish you never had to settle For a cold phone, instead of a warm wake up tone. But I wish you never had to settle For an annoying necessity, instead of a comforting chest cavity. I wanna be a part of your inside jokes, I wanna know about each pill...

Now I sleep on a floor in a house that I’ve never been in before Kept company by the lack Of what I remember about you All the furniture’s lit up bright green Something I know you’ll never see Well maybe I should get some sunlight But it’s just a yellow...

Have the decency to bury me if you’re going to kick me dead. This is uplifting instrumental music for people who need a good talking to; find something new to hate, find something else to fill your plate. Maybe you’d like me again if I went back to the...

When you told me you loved the beach, I set off an A-Bomb at every coastline. When you told me you loved the grass, I set off weedkiller through all the water pipes. When you told me you loved the sun, I sent astronauts to extinguish it. When you told me...

(You will be the death of me) When you told me you loved the beach, I set off an A-Bomb at every coastline. When you told me you loved the grass, I set off weedkiller through all the water pipes. When you told me you loved the sun, I sent astronauts to...

I like when you come over we leave the lights on and undress I like when we burn a candle to set the mood when we have sex I like when we share a bottle of white wine right before bed I like when the sun rises we skip classes make love instea...

The tiniest gap In between Your two front teeth And your fake knees Whistling through the pain To accommodate A kid who doesn't have The time of day And one who has to Keep moving away. What can I say? I'm purposely putting life in the way. Thank...

You used to watch me while I'd drive, but now all you watch is how many exits until you're home. It shouldn't be this forced to not act so upset every time I hear your name. Since you've left the home we made you've been out fucking someone else. A perm...

(I'm looking at) pictures of myself smiling with people I don't talk to or even talk shit on anymore, I want to talk about them with you. I want to tell you about my past, I want to tell you about trips I took when I was running away or fist fights I got...

One day you’ll be married, and you won’t have to feel dirty purchasing pregnancy tests from convenience stores with your best friend, oh I was your best friend once, walking down the aisles picking out baby names. Yesterday I found pictures of you sitti...

I’ve gotten so good at stumbling through ditches that now I’m starting to fall into holes. When you’re this young and so excited, you won’t remember to set any goals. 

You get some time away and time really gets away from you. I said I was searching for myself but I was running from everything too. A new degree, a piece of paper, framed in dark ebony to hang up later. (or else it’s) Your harsh words, whispered i...

I dwell on things that break my own heart, I think and think until I drink and drink, it's the side of myself that I’m most comfortable with; the side of me that lets me sleep. I dwell on things to break my own heart because I could give a shit about how...

In modern photography, digital topography, pictures of places we can never see. (You can meet me) Under 20,000 leagues, or in a different country, planes can't take us places we cannot be. (In the middle) Two faces on a video screen, captured clearly,...

I won't let this grave get the best of me. Bury the soil on top of my roots. Where's the figure to help you figure about the dark of the night and when to scream and shout. I hope you never come back home, I hope you've found your way out. You are the...

We water the plants even after they die, waste all our time in the helpless notion of shooting around in blankets of fog, eyes closed, shouting your name to no one. There’s a horror story in here somewhere but we are too apathetic to find it. We can pick...

Be my American steam Be my Jean Seberg and my new French queen Be my Breathless scream Be what I look for in everything Be the newest widow’s still worn wedding ring Be a photo of autumn leaves on the first day of spring Chapped lips, don’t change a thi...

What's the right age to love? Cause I've always either been too old or too young. I used to want to see you in the morning without makeup, Now I'd like to see you at all. Splintered wood, breaking from the cabinet door, build two from one, and we separ...

Visits used to be on holidays and weekends now you’re always a phone call away from wherever you’re needed for emergency speakings A body on a stretcher, eyes rolled back and barely sleeping tears in your voice, I’m trying to keep you from weeping. Beca...

Well, I haven’t been practicing what I preach. Well, I haven’t been practicing much of anything anymore. I tried to live a clean life, lean towards health and making you proud, But I became too focused on another lingering rain cloud. I forgot what sunligh...

I'm not moving, I'm just standing still. In this shit you left me, I'm glad you left me. I've learned three things this year: like my dependency on beer, how sweat feels in my eyes, and how you depend on your lies. You can't apologize enough for feeling...

There is a chest of skin, of drawers, with pictures of waterspouts coming out from the ocean and into the mainland where you once lived before when you were younger before you learned how to hope, want, or wish. Your step became unsteady once, even...

[Sold Year] It takes a lot of courage to start saying you're sorry When you're like the wife of the whole fucking army Yeah we all have memories Yeah we all have enemies You wanna hang Christmas lights in the summer An excuse to pass time with one ano...

This is my personal desert, This is my personal slum, I’ve become the person that I always hated The enemy I was running from. I wanted the sun to warm my skin, But I wanted to hide from everything. I made my life into a competition, Where’s my trophy...

You made footprints on mountains, You made a change in an old dirt. We showed each other what we're good at, We taught each other self worth. We yelled so loudly that we hurt each other's ears And that summer we all made a pact to face our fears. And tha...

I'd like to think that I'm capable Of doing things on my own. Like you should've been there to show me. Well, you should've been there at all. We may not have made it, but at least we're fucking okay. 

(you are) My fibonnaci sequence, my golden ratio, my "nightswimming" piano piece, my white tulip covered in winter snow. You make me feel so tall. You make me feel so adult, like I could conquer everything, or maybe just anything at all. I remember...

Have I lost it, have I lost it Or have I just bought in To the bullshit The mirrors The smoke I traced back To the faucet Leaking Into the sink covered in hair. Oh I see what you did there You cut off your cares, God it’s so freeing, Time isn’t flee...
