I’m sorry I have left nothing for you
I carried you as my torch in the dark
tucked inside the lining of my skin

i heard you found a niche in this world
how about you find me one so I can rest with you

cry on me I don’t mind it’s just a little piece of adult life
paint me as the shades you see behind your eyes
when you sleep beside

beside 
beside 
beside your captive audience
nice try
you’re halfway 
to the other side

I’m im all you have to hold on to
i don’t mind


Nice Try

500 Days of Zooey Deschanel's Slightly Unsettling Persona

May 1: First day of my song a day project, title "i am a scorpio"

how'd you get so cold?
i saw you sitting there before
is it boring you to death?
is it boring you to death?

is there time to spend outside
before we resume our lives?
mornings/ nights 
we share a sign
we share a sign

does it move you at all?
does it move you at all?

something about the way you talk
make me so damn anxious.
20 years and still tongue tied
20 years and still tongue tied

Day 1 -i am a scorpio

Day 2 of my song a day project:

i had a dream I was pulling teeth out
at the same time I was talking to you

i saw you in the community kitchen 
and i could see you were pulling teeth out too

my voice lives in your patterned dresses
don't stay close cause I'm not running to you

i used to dream in colored passages
now i dream about what i hold on to

my life's a pile of paper messages
i know it gets old
this is the best i can do

Day 2- i dreamed i was pulling my teeth out

everything that you want is
there for the taking

keep the car running because 
i wanna be leaving

even little things
sometimes get too big for me

it's not worth the time





day 3- even little things are too big for me

i can't know anything clearly 
i love so aimlessly it's just me
when you sit next to me, its easy
to let fragility consume me

i'll get caught up 
framing my sentences

i spend the night 
misinterpreting your glances

i get so tired
learning your intentions

but i play it off and 
you will hardly notice
