Lyrics:
Flicker like a dying screen / Can you see me?  
Empty voices in between / Static dreaming  

Hands that never held me tight / Slip through shadows  
I dissolve into the night / Lost tomorrow  

Mirror cracks behind my eyes / Fading slowly  
Buried under violet skies / Don’t look for me

splinters

dreaming in static

Lyrics:
Fingertips, close
I feel you breathe, too near

Skin heat, slow burn.
Your mouth a danger I crave

Eyes low, I fold
Your name stuck on my tongue

Stay, Don’t stay
Your shadow traces mine

bedroom confession

Lyrics:
I don’t know what I’m doing
I keep saying I’ll stop, but I don’t
I ruin everything
On purpose, I think

I want to be held so bad
But the second you get close I push
I watch your face fall
And I hate myself for it

I don’t even know what I feel anymore
I just want it to stop
But I want you to stay
But I want to disappear

I say things I don’t mean
Just to feel something shift
And then I’m alone again
And it’s my fault

borderline blues

Lyrics:
He looks at you
Like he owns you
Like I’m not standing right here

I see his eyes
They don’t blink
They don’t stop

You laugh
But it’s nervous
You’re scared — I see it

Every word he speaks
Feels like poison
And I can’t get it off you

I hate him
I hate how close he stands
I hate that he thinks you’re his

You’re mine
You’re safe
You’re not his to take

I see him watching
And I want to break him
Before he breaks us

no one’s but mine

Lyrics:
This town has a hundred bridges  
But this one feels like mine  
I walk here when I’m sad  
Or when I’m trying to feel fine  
Sometimes I lean over the edge  
And I wonder what I’ve become  

There’s gum stuck to the railing  
And graffiti on the wall  
Someone wrote “don’t give up”  
But the letters are too small  

I don’t jump, I just stand  
I don’t cry, but I could  
The water underneath  
Would swallow me up good  
This town has a hundred bridges  
But this one’s for me  

a hundred bridges
