pour me up
i see things
there was no one else that i wanted in my life
now you're gone
gone this time

i know you see alot of things
thats why we get along so well, my darling
and you know i hate to give you such a hard time
but you know i hate when people got whats mine

and you know that i don't have the time
i lay my head to rest and i give up my mind

pour me up
i see things
there was no one else that i wanted in my life
now you're gone
gone this time

Stay... It's Eventide

Sway

1st draft of some decent pavement worship w/ instrumental chorus 

playground eyes your crimson smiles
i'm living with denial I’ve sold the truth
in porcelain pristine prom queen 
guise-less smiles and clumsy miles

gifted foresight tragic termite 
pressed upon your boots 
heartless wreckage, goddess scented
cannot tell the truth 

placemat heart our stunted start 
gaze raised to the stars you look right through
me missing, mistress listen 
silent starts and missing parts 

days in Autumn, Springtime’s daughter
warm rains sound aloof 
harmless feelings pleasant dreaming 
cannot tell the truth

playground (1st draft)

Wishes

wanting to know
how i'll get away - i have to go
i've been here for too long
don't want to see where I went wrong

because if i see 
i know i'll pry
was it really me?
is it a lie?

no peace of mind
search all over but still can't seem to find
i tried to find a way
to get away and be okay

because if i stay
i'll stay too long
can't get away
from the things i've done wrong

try to get away 
but i don't know how
try to get away
i've got to go

Can't Get Away

super rough first draft of a new synthpop idea, forgive the logic default drum loops and simple bass. bare bones.

sordid business but you came unprepared 
to bear witness through chemicals stained air
may I say, blown away
colours in your hair
best behaved, a freeze frame
beauty’s not been spared

silent mistress with deep marble eyed stare
bears no witness to his tangling hair 
may I say, I know shame
colours that we’ve shared 
move in place, we rotate
not moving anywhere

angel lifted by your vulgar night prayers 
tired and listless in truth he’s hardly there
i field blame, all the same 
the truth is hardly fair
through decay, I reframe
the fox becomes a hare
