Last Lines

A song for every conversation that has driven me into despair over the last few years.

The Fuss

from "Day For Night" a film for Vanessa Bruno

Make a Sound - Lou Doillon (cover)

an old demo from another life.

Lyrics:

i woke up with a bruise, i couldn't tell you what from.
i went out drinking and i guess i had a little too much fun.
i woke up next to you and i asked you what it is you wanted to do.
you said, "don't touch me, you look dirty and blue."

i said, "i'm sorry, i just needed get some space."

you said, "i feel like i don't know you anymore. i don't recognize you safe."

"you know that i love you and i'll always, always be there.
and i know i do these things that make you feel kind of scared.
if you would just trust me enough to go out and experience some life. no matter where i am or who i talk to, you're always on my mind.

you were sorry. "i don't know why i suffer with such depression. when people try to take me out there, i will not let them. i don't feel comfortable around anyone that isn't you. i've lost myself to what's only inside this room."

so, i took your hand said, "i understand but you're going to have to learn how to live without me in your life because i can't be the only source of happiness that you have. it's just not right."

i packed my things and said, "i hope you have a good day."

you said, "please don't go, don't go, don't go. please stay."

so, i stayed.

Let You In

I know there is light in you
I saw it one afternoon

when we sat up on that hill
and you said I made all things still

it’s time, show me love is safe
give me time to forget your name
and replace all the words you said
that repeat endlessly through my head

I pretend that they were only for me

I know, I know it hurts
but to think I'd stick around is absurd

I'm a girl with all these dreams
and if you give me a match
you should expect a flame.

so, here's the fire that ends us again

and I hope the whole world becomes covered in the ashes!!¡¡

Ashes

Written in the corner of the summer of 2014.

lyrics:
tie me like an animal
i'll never be comfortable
pull the sheets over my knees
and peel them off like tangerines
but look at me while you spit the seeds

baby, maybe i'm lost
i'm not sure of myself
take me from the weak and alone
i want to be somebody else

put my head against your chest
so i can count the seconds
it takes for our pulses to match

but don't let me sing you to sleep
because i will tell you everything
what i'd give to never go back
i'd give it all

spit the seeds and give me life
split the seas and we'll all follow in a line

Tangerines

do you fend it off
with the shame

that you have it all
that you grabbed my heart
with your strength?

I’ve never looked
I’ve never have
felt this way

And I’d rather go
Back to the start and stay

where these rivers go
i fear we’re better off dead
and since we don’t know
let’s learn with the current

my body’s weak
and my soul’s asleep
in our bed

you live in me
i’m alive in you
no matter what we’ve said

i want to call
I want to hear your voice 
and see

if in this world of fumes,
you’re still a muse
to me

where these rivers go
i fear we’re better off dead
and since we don’t know
let’s learn with the current
