Heart of Hearts

Over

Silent Lo

i like to feel good in the summer
do whatever I want
but this pain can take everything I live for 
suffocating life 
you piece of shit
so i stare at the beachgrass swayin’—
what i do when things get so bad
it feels like the whole world’s strarin’
tougher than life with addiction 
we sway like the beachgrass 

my fingers dig deep into my skin
wait for the bleeding and tell me then
that i can be whoever i want to be
but you cannot feel it so i want you to know

it’s hard to be alive in the world 
when you can’t even look in the mirror 
you can’t even hide your shame
it’s written in the shade of your arms 
it’s hard to be alive in the world
when people you used to know 
are doing everything they love 

like a fallen angel 
you heal me from the inside
at least that’s what they say you do
still waiting for the proof of your power
are you hiding?
the water’s inside 
so swallow your pride
and get me a high that let’s me fly
don’t let me die

i won’t give you anything cause you aren’t worth anything 
if you won’t leave then i won’t stay 
take what’s mine and leave
surely there is more to life than picking pebbles up off the ground 
poor old kid
let him survive
let me down now

i have tried to be free


Beachgrass

you’re not one of us
you are the only one with a second thought
but we’re the believers 
you shouldn’t look at us if you don’t raise your hand 
and get all of your self into a shape that we own

you don’t know how to do it right
you shouldn’t even lie
resort the notion 
stop fighting the holy ones
come jettison the wasteland 
and don’t ever come back 
don’t ever come back to us

let me see your hand

and we are alive
that’s all that really matters now
not how we feel anymore 

they’ll be rushing in
fire is in the streets
so come over before the collection
are you just like me?
how did we all fall?
let’s get them in the string 
and tell the fucking king we arrived

do you hear them shine? 

this is escher’s escher’s cold cube world this cold cube world

Escher's Cold Cube World

i don’t know what I have done to myself
all the ways I hide my pain
virginity in the eyes
all the ways that I look for you
i’m chasing other lies

and all the ways that I look for you
i’m chasing other lies

drinking all frustration out
holding all your songs in place
you would fall beneath the earth 
now I release you from this place

Bitterment

i’m awake, my love asleep and all the time we had
at every blink you exist to me
but i feel a break in vision
and now i hold to the dream as eyes adjust to the light
i dreamt of holding you in my arms
we dance alone in the morning

i look for you inside of glass—
a faceless distraction every time 
naked in the cave of imagination 
so far from home

it’s kinda like eternal life
but caught between two: life and death
i hope to leave someday with us together
but for now i stay and wait for you
i wait for you
