Our lips and our bodies
Remember their names
And the lies we spoke soundly
To keep ourselves sane

Forgive me once more
I couldn't hesitate listening at your door 
Your words are too sweet
Tell me if I made a huge mistake 
Swallowing advice I shouldn't take
To numb this pain

You & Me - Taylor Vick (cover of other cover) W/ Gabby Clarke

PortableWindGadget W/ Gabby Clarke & Captain America Fan

I quit to catch your eyes
My skin has lost the fight 
To gravity and dust 
The world is out
To shrink and change us

I am not who I was meant to be
I've broken vessels 
The ones that let me see
Bruising up the only flesh I've got
Devalue god 
Worship my mom
For every single thing I'm not

How could I say I'm not afraid
When my pulse spikes every day?
On nights I wished they would no more
Tones of wood seeped through my pores

On Losing

We were born with our eyes shut
Damned to hell with our jaws locked
Dripping sins on the pillar of rock
Kneel down and watch us give our souls up

My eyes, they gleam
Centuries worth of impurities

I left the plastic bag inside my crib
Mistakes are easier to forgive
Forget the sister that I swallowed whole
Keeps me from speaking all those terrible words

The ones she'll never get to pronounce
The ones I harbor at the edge of my mouth 
I was a speaker 'til they shut me down
I'd chew my tongue if it weren't debt to me now

My eyes, they gleam 
Centuries worth of impurities

Impurities

I accidentally took a breath
On September the 18th of '96
Now I'm really scared
That I'm gonna die

If I could remember I would have stayed 
Can't regret the first choice you never made
Well the world holds us to it
When we're all dying anyways

Well the only true connections were red to bleed
And oxygen blue is all I've ever seen
But it's not so hard to keep your eyes closed
When you know that snakes will eat their own

I'd Close My Eyes and Make A Wish but I'm Scared and We Don't Even Have Cake

You like to think you were enough of me two weeks in a row
It's strange to me how so suddenly you would like to know

What my favorite color is 
The twelfth letter of my name before it
Was shaken up and transposed
Stripped of its origins

You wanna know what sort of state I'm in 
Am I as mellow as my tired grin? 
Or am I hidden 
Like my collarbone in my favorite shirt?

Origins

I had spent almost two hours practicing for a piano exam and so "happy birthday" gradually became miserable sounding. 

Happy Birthday To You (We're-All-Gonna-Die-Someday edition)

Sawtooth waves
I see escape
Trapped in your arms 
Where mountains cave

Blur too gray 
To address the chains
Rusted and weak
We slip away

Greedy weeds 
Destroy your hands
I struggle,
You live off the land

Labored memories 
Of a still
Your statued sternum
Makes things far too real

Careful impressioning 
Figures into my skin so deeply
They bled through

You try to remember me
Nurture the dead embryos you reap 
Empty shells that grew

I know you count more than fingers on counterfeit 
It’s your shaky hands that are sick
Sew your words are thread

I see flaws in the nature of movement at work 
Pain isn't real 
How could thoughts hurt more than the pounding of your pulse on your throat?

Still

Give up your right to live 
You fell off that tree 
You're safe tonight by the noises your blood's making
and I would catch you if it wasn't for 
The distractions caused by leaves and muscles so torn

They'll set you free
and maybe if I stay up 
I'll catch you leaving
No promises
But don't mind me 
I'm just watching 
For signs that your mother is grieving

And I guess I shouldn't touch what's right
I'll leave it open
Let it sit in my head all night
Your face so haunting 
And you ask me 'bout second chances 
And what I believe
But I'm just hoping there's a second chance 
For me

A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime

You walked me out and into this emptiness inside
You left me there with nowhere safe left to hide 
And it's hard to tell whether I'll make it out and be okay
Or if scars like these will just remind me to be afraid.

And I know I shouldn't complain
You distracted me for a couple days
All well and worth it some might say
'Cause fast distractions come with the price you pay

Poplar

Careful to think someone like you is done
Struggling to do 
what you think you do

Well I'm not the sane
-- I'm not the closest thing you think you've found to truth

I lie through my teeth
I lie through my clothes
I lie through the breaths I hand to the words I just couldn't hold

Ritalin rid me of this overactive 
Mind I mistake for just seeing dark in lightness

Burn me at the stakes you think were set by you
Follow, follow
you do

I lie through my teeth 
I lie through my clothes
I lie through the breaths I hand to the words I just couldn't hold


You Do

Desire dry up my lungs
Wish I did not wish I thought to stop
Discovery I missed 
When I found a self begging to finish first

Pinkie graze my unmoved hand 
Elbow break the room unfit to stand
This time it's not a place, and I'm no friend
Bodies break the room unfit to stand

Eyes caught my face trembling you
Could I be talked in?
Could I be talked into cautionary measures?
One way or another your seat sits so much closer than it should.

Faces I deem asymmetrical
I saw 
I saw what we were now here for.
Greeted in your eyes 
I'm a sore excuse with minds.
-No good with yours
-No good with mine

Pinkie graze my unmoved hand 
Elbow break the room unfit to stand
Time is not a place and I'm no friend
Body break the room unfit to stand

Elbows

Chinatown - Shakey G (cover)

Found an app that mixes four tracks- sry

Delicate minimal pieces
no room
nowhere to hide 
it's signatures and dissonant truth
Claim your hands were still
when you weren't born 
That your mother bled 
only to leave you for 
a misunderstanding left at the foot of her bed
Nothing of her
but an umbilical cord

Kiss the air between you and her cheeks
Philadelphia fucked you up so you could find me
I know to miss a slow lazy voice
like she knows to miss a new bright eyed boy

Where fingers felt frozen skin
i know you better
I know you burn thin

Blue

Could be about jesus-- who knows.
Replace every "you" with Jesus if you want- havehairdon'tcare.

luv u

Puella Quam Amo Est Pulchra - BrightEyes (covercomp)

Dead

This is from that recording session I won through chico state SOTA productions @ the singer/songwriter comp! 

Face flushed 
bodies that tend to sink
bottled excuses to tell her everything you think
she will
never forgive you
truth lost
on the outline of her figure

well I never asked for peace
in the form of sweet relief
just in the way you once spoke to me

and my skin is thin 
but my body is not
weighed down by thoughts and muscle knots
your eyes 
wont wash away tears that you've cried
mistakes 
swallowed and absorbed by your lies

but I never asked for peace 
in the form of sweet relief
just in the way you once spoke to me
but i know it's war

For Yours

sloppy af

Voice 
like catalyst
my pulse reacts to what You say
Eyes
like endless pits
i wait and i wait

answers never change
i'm the alternate

Stranger 
to my time here
i'm deceased in the Minds of some here
Sweetheart
swallowed entire
-ly peaceful visions blur

i'm awake
answers never change
i'm the alternate

Pretty When you Cry - Lana (cover)

guess - hahah

nose bleed
I asked you here
come on to me 
then disappear
the closest thing
I've felt to suspension

I'm a frame
empty, displayed
how I hang 
can't do this to him
but I'm the first in line to

Itching to get clean
there's something 'bout the dirt
that keeps me grounded 
keeps me getting hurt
so I won't know
no, I won't know 
the difference

eyes alive 
color change
we expected 
them to stay the same
it was the closest thing
we've felt to suspension
forgot how to breathe
felt your pulse to remind me
you'd be fine without me

clean

Wild Eyes - Paul Baribeau (cover)

cute flower boy
it's so cute that ur alive
u sent flies into my home knowing in 2 weeks they'd die
can u give me a ride home
& compassion free of control 
i know that ur sighs weigh more than u can carry\
did u steal 2 lessen ur burden 
did u steal from me
I was brittle but willing
u knew that i had unlimitting limits
smile long as I can't
burst of ur laughter
fake as my lip color
there is no end
we're gonna live forever

it's so cute how ur alive

love is a gray thing
i know because you kissed me 
under a black and white sky

Dimming eyes 
Are you slipping 
like I know you to?
Like, I know you do

Spotted face
Have you been drinking, or
quenching your thirst with her?
With her

Maybe time 
Will remind you 
That it’s been too long

Slipping back through and forth
Yeah, it’s been too long 
That I’ve known you are 
Not enough

Not ready to be saved, so 
It’s you I want 
I knew you never could 
Would never try to pull the brakes on
Think of me like you do god
Reject me 
hope that I still take 
that I still care at all

I was stardust on your nose 
Part of me?
you weren’t a part of 
We were lighting
Yeah, we were lighting. 
Thought you’d electrify 
But you?
You electrocute.
