first single for my demo tape "demolisher 1"

Counted on your ribs
One two three four five six
Then stopped to kiss
Where I always did
The tat you said
Was tenderest to get, you flinched
You always flinched when I held your wrists
And teased you cause you can't parallel park
Your skill was how your back would arch
How you loved the dark, didn’t need the stars
You said it’s not that hard to see
The art you’d be if you were painted by me
The brush is dry, I’m wretched and blind
It’s always too bright 
Counted on your friends to leave
Like one two three,
A sharp breath and it’s you and me
 I can’t hear sh-t except my teeth grinding and your heartbeat
It's always awkward silence now, there’s nothing left to talk about
We get along okay but we can’t talk like 
We did that day   
Or all those days when I held your face in my hands
And waited 
A man with patient plans is fated to find
He's just a boy and it's all in his mind
It's not that  hard to see how hard it’d be
To keep you near me
We can’t be friends, can’t even pretend
It’s best to steer clear of me

Ribs

no more sharing coffee pots
pouring soymilk in your cup
what the f*ck
what do I do?
to spend forever without you
no more pulling blankets off
theres plenty room but just for one
what the f*ck
what do I do?
to spend forever without you

no more splitting cigarettes
empty pack, and I regret
everything
what do I do?
to spend forever without you
a single day was hard enough
and then the weeks turn into months
what the f*ck
what do I do? What can I even do?
