Parting Gift:

Well I guess I never did my best
To properly express
The things I meant to say
When we talked yesterday
I can understand if you can't stand
Just being friends and need to end
Our casual thing
Maybe take a break
Take some time to think

Think of this
As a parting gift
In time this will all go away

The thoughts that I have left unsaid
Are tossed around inside my head
Like paper planes
Going down in flames
I try to ignore the thoughts
Before they get their chance
To influence my disbelief
Still I'm glad we came
It's such a shame to leave

Leave like this
A parting gift
I know things will turn out okay
For you

The grass is always greener on the other side
You can take my time but don't expect to ask me why
I've been trying to keep myself preoccupied

I've never been the sort of man
Who wears his faith upon his sleeve triumphantly
That just isn't me
But what kind of man can I claim I am
If I can't take a stand for things that I believe
Though I'm in no rush
I've got no place to be

Be a dear
Make it sincere
Don't leave without saying goodbye
To me

The grass is always greener on the other side
You can take my time but don't expect to ask me why
I've been trying to keep myself preoccupied

So you dig in
Make it hurt
Give me everything you think that I deserve
Don't hold back
I won't flinch
I'll just think of this as your final parting gift

I've been wasting time reciting rhymes for our final verse
Eventually one of us will get over the other first

New Ghosts

country ep coming at some point 

humming wires, can you hear the west sing?
I can I see my destiny manifesting 
or maybe just mirage in the road 
toll booth trapped and change collecting 
golem monuments of pain erecting 
their fingers pointing out where to go

man alive, the whole crops infested 
all that’s left is what’s been digested
a barren silent desert nothing grows 
and of the pain that you invested 
the mercy toxins you’ve ingested
will ensure you let feel like letting go

heat flows
out the rim of a bottle
I feel indisposed 
nobody knows
It’s a brief blurb without you
Im here and gone alone

Sit aside
For a day
And watch carefully how the little ones play in the rain
With your tired attention
Everything looks so small
When you forget it all

Lay down
On the soil
And feel the earth surround your bitter heart
You've lost your scale
Let worms fill the sky
And the birdsong will ring below

Let it fall
Down your check
Does it feel like you've been cast out of this world?
As you sink into mud
There are thousands of living creatures embracing you

Has your time
In the ground
Led you to the same conclusion?
I can't speak for you
But I will hope it isn't so
