10AM, still here. 10AM but you never leave.
.
You always stay when you say you'll leave.
.
You call me up on your last night in town. At the end of the night you still stick around.
.
You tell me, 
"Remember, this don't mean a thing. 
Don't fall for me. 
We mean nothing."
.
But after every night with you on ecstasy, the sun comes up and you never leave.
.
***
.
I know you're scared to say it too, cause you know I'm scared to feel it too. You want more for me to make you move, hoping we can just ignore the truth. 
.
Dunno know how we ended up like this, bootycalls out of best friends like shit. I guess that's how it always was and is. But no matter what you say, I know that any way, 
.
10AM, still here.
.
***
.
It's 10AM and you haven't left. 
I'm so used to you and the way you get undressed. 
But your life's a mess. Your life’s a mess.
Every time you're home you just get fucked up and we continue this. 
.
It always ends the same with you and all your games. We don't talk then I see you walk like you don't know my name. 
.
It's nothing new, this thing we're used to became the way it is, and I wish that I knew how we ended up like this out of best of friends like shit.
.
***
.
I guess that's how it always is, but we did belong together. We used to call each other when the times got tough but now you only call me when you want it rough. I'm sorry you misheard me when you wanted love.
.
But after this, we don't belong together.
.
At 10AM, Still here.

10AM

I make you go quiet. You want me to speak. 
I ask if you want more. You say, “Always, I'm weak”.
I'm lost in your darkness, pixels on the screen.
You can't find your words but I'm lost in your peace.
.
I don't know whether you're here or not, addicted to this feeling when we intralock. 
Align dilated pupils and connect the dots. We don't have to think if these aren’t even our thoughts.
.
I know the feeling’s strange. I know you feel the same.
Drowning your soul into your bliss all written on your face.
And then your gravity, giving me clarity, pulling me into your eyes like singularities.
.
But what's it really mean? We’re here just two machines.
I wanna touch your face cause my hands can't reach through this screen.
So let's just stay right here.
Floating in space right here.
Falling deep into black holes trying to disappear.
.
Travelling through time as your sun falls asleep,
Mine kisses the sky, yours falls into the sea.
We'll meet by the water, where wheels made of light turn,
Awake in a dream.

Intralock

Please don’t go.
My heart has turned to stone to better brave the cold.
And all I’ve come to know is…
.
You’re better off going (without me).
You better not cry (without me).
You better get by (without me).
You’re better off going (without me).
.
You’re better alone (without me).
You’re better off going (without me).
You’re better off torn (without me)
You’re better off (you without me).
.
Please don’t go.
My heart has turned to stone to better brave the cold.
And all I’ve come to know is…
.
I’ve tried and I’ve tried.
Manipulating these lines.
Singing about all of these times when I would leave you behind.
.
In a different time when planets align, you’ll have my mind.
