Are You Reading Me?

When I asked
You to stay
It came apart
Unraveled by the bed
Silk unlike your touch
Passing through my mouth
A pressure on me
A pressure for all to see
Are you reading me?
Being frustrated is it part of the answer
Being frustrated is it how we get there
Being frustrated is it part of the answer
Being frustrated is it keeping us together
Are you reading me?
I inch towards
A path I know
I ask it if
It will ever let me go

Some days after dark
I whistle to the wind
It caries all the air
Out of my head
And rising from the view
The stagger of you
And rising from the view
Emptiness imbued
Wouldn't you be impressed
By the way I long for you the best
Some days in the sun
I wish that I could run
Towards the nearest view
And catch what's never true
But rising from that view
Nothing's ever true
But rising from that view
Separation takes a hold of me
Wouldn't you be impressed
By the way I long for you the best
Wouldn't you be consumed
By the way these thoughts don't turn with the days
Wouldn't you be consumed
Like the way I still am by you

Walking home
To a place I don't yet live
Wandering amused when
We find an excuse to kiss
Exhale deep
Inhale hard
Take it all in
We could be like this all the time
What I need
Is what I already have

Dogged Men
04:56
|
|

It's in the air we breath
That which chokes it out of me
Brutal in philosophy
But not a part of me
If I could think in words
Words that stir the herd
The words of dogged men
Doing it wrong again
The way they were taught to
The way they were bread to
The way they like to
The way they like to

(I Know)

I'm tired
I'm so tired
So tired of waking up
So tired of the same day
Tired of hearing about everyone dying
So tired of hoping
Everything's already not okay
I'm tired
We're not the same
We're living in separate worlds
One where you die, and one where you don't
Where the rich can overcome anything
The rest of us are up on the air
And we are falling
The speed at which we're falling
Is scaring me
Every single day
I can hear my ears popping
This is just the way it is now
