i heard a symphony
on my birthday (first day)
words i never thought i'd seek
from your mouth slipping out
slide your fingers through my hair
and cut it all if you don't care
at all, 
i'm home in your arms but 

i bleed myself to sleep
picturing a movie screen, hugging
all of your bones
and the silence of the world spins me 
soft in circles alone pulsing in 
beat and there's nobody else
had my lips kissed and missed, by your eyes,
sounds of your skies,
songs i wish you sighed
with words i knew were lies

i watched my petals fall
in september (my ember)
though i never shed at all
in your car or the dark,
hold me tighter but don't surprise her
you're seventeen, still missing me
so we talk about the favourite candles to blow
when we grow old

i bleed myself to sleep
picturing a movie screen, hugging
all of your bones
and the silence of the world spins me 
soft in circles alone~pulsing in 
beat and there's nobody else
had my lips kissed and missed, by your eyes,
sounds of your skies,
songs i wish you sighed
with words denied
in the palm of your hands, you asked me to dance
and i loved how you swore that you'd never want more
than a kiss from your eyes, they never surprise but i bleed myself to
wish they were lies

all flaws i'd list
when i see you distance
all cloaks you wore
i have sewn

all time spent with
common sense is all that i miss
but i crave your bliss alone
sound of your home



sound of your home

the moon song with denzel

am i a burden baby
bite the burn on my lips
when you're sick of my skin 
slowly sinking in
i am the bird in lady
bird though i feel like a bug
when i cry and i tug
on your sleeve 
but you don't want to leave,
we don't know the people
and we don't know the sequel
and how this ends
its a tug that you shrug
so i sank and i shrunk
til i'm mute and confused
oh, so small when i'm next to you
oh, so small, ooooo

my arms are warm and torn
in this space i call an “embrace” (i know, i know)
do you call it a hug for short?
i am tired of living so simple in taste
but now we're leaving, you want to drive me home
you told me i was only yours then two birds one stone
oh your sleeve was slinging down, the urge to hold it but you'd press the break, we'd all be at a bigger stake of death- just a tug will do

mid-december, i fantasise 
of the time i didn’t long for you
yet it didn't make me cry
i just sighed and cut my fingers too
from a song that i wrote back home in my dress you caressed, was i a mess
my size was a letter written in your car
oh i felt so tall. i felt so small.

feeling so big when i drive my own car
loving you still, when you open your arms
if i am a bug i’m still craving a tug
maybe this ladybird just wants to be loved (next to you)

ladybird

two,
afraid to lose
such a flame
i can’t erase
the life it bloomed

love 
comes from touch
comes from warmth
within our core
we tend to shut

and fire 
is a man
i fell to adore
and always swore
to understand

love
comes from good
and my love sits still
and sparks
a nest of wood

oh my ember is breathing your name
it's own meaning is tough to explain
you'd light evenings til down pours the rain
do you remember, my little flame?

little fire

if i was born a pretty bug 
i’d be here right next to your feet
tuck me under a silly rug
so i’d be cosy in my sleep
some pet, your little silhouette I’d be
mmm doo do doo do

a flower twirling in your hair
and i still stare while on a stone
i’d crawl, you’d pick me up so bare
and up the stairs, you kiss me home
a fling, the freckle on your arm i’d sting 
mmm doo do doo do

maybe i’ll stick on the walls you paint,
eat all the crumbs on your dinner plate
baby i’ll breathe all the words you say
a bug’s life just feels the same 

if i was born a little leaf
would i still sprout into a tree
you'd climb and maybe even leap into
the mountains or the sea

this life, the apple of my eye you see
mmm doo do doo do

maybe i’ll stick on the walls you paint,
eat all the crumbs on your dinner plate
baby i’ll breathe all the words you say
a bug’s life just feels the same

the bug song

dark eclipse, close your eyes
when you see the stars align
kissin in your car, sublime
angel at heart
wipe your tears, i'll be here
sleeping in your hours, dear
in your arms and mars appears
wanting a war
